ÀNI Sri Lanka

A sweeping beachfront estate near Dickwella on Sri Lanka’s south coast, ÀNI Sri Lanka is an all-inclusive, private resort designed exclusively for a single group of guests. Set on a gentle rise above a palm-fringed beach, the resort claims mesmerizing views of the Indian Ocean and can accommodate up to 30 guests in 15 elegant suites.

These are positioned around two double-story Living Salas – Villa Monara and Villa Divia – which overlook their own vast infinity pools. A staff of 30 tailors every detail – from special dining, cultural, and wellness moments, to kids’ activities, personal training, and exploration of the region to ensure a bespoke experience that defies expectations.

The architecture takes its cue from Sri Lanka's Tropical Modernism, the style made famous by Geoffrey Bawa, with open, airy spaces that blur the line between house and garden. Two Living Salas, each with upstairs and downstairs living and dining areas, overlook two vast infinity pools. Suites range from classic rooms to split-level and family suites, and the estate accommodates anywhere from six to 30 guests.

Everything is included, from meals and spa treatments to children's activities and tailor-made excursions, and a team of 30 shapes each day around the group. That might mean tennis lessons, a tuk-tuk tour through nearby villages or a barefoot dinner by the pool.

The surroundings are rich with adventure. Galle Fort and the Sinharaja Rainforest, both UNESCO World Heritage Sites, are within reach, leopards roam Yala National Park, and blue whales pass offshore in season. Seaplane, road and helicopter transfers can all be arranged.

For those seeking a truly private and indulgent experience, Ani Private Resorts Sri Lanka provides an intimate setting where every detail is taken care of.
