Amaranthe Bay Resort

‘Amaranthe Bay’ sits poised at the edge of the slow meandering Pillaikulam Aru, a sentinel of luxury in a stunning landscape of calming sunrises and psychedelic sunsets, caressed by the breezes that waft across the still waters of the river, serenaded by birdcall and the swishing of oars, bathed in a glow that only paradise can offer you. This is ‘Amaranthe Bay.’

Good trip

Karpaha Sands

Be cast away on a Robinson Crusoe beach. Karpaha Sands is a luxury glamping boutique resort situated on Sri Lanka’s most pristine Kalkudah Beach. In this hideaway resort, luxury meets authenticity. Guests can unwind and be close to nature, relax under the Palmyra trees and swim in the 30m idyllic infinity pool or jump in the turquoise sea. With a light environmental footprint, a cool arty design vibe and local ancestral fishing communities at its doorstep, Karpaha Sands offers unmatched seclusion, authenticity, exclusivity and pure tranquillity. It is also a perfect destination from which to explore the East Coast and discover the Tamil culture to add diversity on any Sri Lanka itinerary.

A hidden wonder

Reviewed By EamonnF6

It is, literally, off the beaten path (you’ll see what I mean when you get there) which makes it the most peaceful and relaxing place you’ll ever go to. The rooms are all separate and private so you can have all the quiet you need. The sand is like powder. The staff are all incredible. We had the private beach BBQ and the beach cinema which is a lovely way to spend the evening. The small number of rooms mean that, even at peak times, there are no more than six people at any one time on a beach that stretches for miles.

We didn't want to leave

Reviewed By Penny W

This is one of the most amazing and beautiful resorts I have ever stayed at. We had two rooms- a beachfront suite with it's own private pool, and also one of the regular deluxe rooms . Both rooms were gorgeous and had huge bathrooms and a private terrace. It was just a few steps to the a huge pool and beach bar where you. can order food and cocktails. A few more steps and you are on a stretch of clean white sand beach. The beach was very clean and seriously beautiful . The food was excellent , the service was efficient and always came with a smile. The seafood BBQ was a highlight and I highly recommend it. They cooked our lobsters and prawns to perfection . We can't wait to come back and will stay longer next time , as this is a truly lovely and relaxing hotel on a beautiful stretch of beach .

Our wedding holiday in Anantaya Pasikuda

Reviewed By J7764IT_

If you want to get a quiet romantic vacation on the shores of a beautiful ocean, then this hotel is an excellent choice. Gorgeous nature, a sea of ​​sun, and a clean beautiful ocean, the sound of the surf. The hotel features beautiful and spacious rooms. The hotel staff is always ready to help and realize any of your requests. Everyone is very kind and welcoming. Of the minuses, perhaps, only a very long transfer from Colombo airport (almost 7 hours by bus) and a large amount of spicy food and curry, from which you start to get tired at the end of your vacation, can be noted.

Family trip to Blue Wave hotel Arugambay

Reviewed By PDSRoshan

We arrived at the hotel on 15th April. It was a group booking with 35 family members. Reservation was provided by Mr. Sanjeewa. He gave us all the information and was very helpful. The staff was very flexible and friendly. The room conditions were superb. The linen stuff was clean and tidy. Even though it is not located on the beach side, it is only a 2-3 minute walk to the sandy beach in Arugambay. There were not many varieties of food but it was tasty and credit goes to the chef and we enjoyed it. They have a nice big pool. We enjoyed 2 days in the hotel. We recommend this hotel to everyone. The Hotel is really nice and good. Special thanks to Mr. Sanjeewa and the Chef.

Breathtaking location!

Reviewed By R W

Such a perfect location; a barefoot resort on the beach. A real treat and something quiet special. All the staff were excellent and the resorts location is just perfect. You do need to take tuk-tuk's if you want a visit another restaurant for a change of scenery due to its quiet location, it is too far to walk. The food was lovely, although I would say that the service is a little too slow at times. Overall, I would recommend on the location and staff themselves, so helpful and friendly.

Great Place

Reviewed By Thiru R

Stayed 3 nights nice hotel great location. Paul was very knowledgeable person who knows inside and out whole of Batticaloa. Had to upgrade my room to Seaview which was amazing. Front office and the restaurant staff were very efficient. I was very disappointed with the food. Prices charged was correct for the buffet but hardly anything available. A la carte menu was there half of the items ordered were unavailable. Apart from that everything else were fine. The competition in the area is very high the management needs to take look into this otherwise they will loose out.
