ÀNI Sri Lanka

Located on a sprawling five-acre (two-hectare) stretch of lush land along Sri Lanka's southern coastline, ÀNI is an exclusive and all-inclusive private resort reserved solely for a single group of guests.

Perched gracefully on a gentle elevation above a beach fringed with palm trees near Dickwella, this resort offers captivating vistas of the Indian Ocean. It can accommodate anywhere from 6 to 30 guests comfortably, offering a choice of eight Split-Level Suites, four Classic Suites, and three Family Suites. These accommodations are thoughtfully positioned around two two-story Tropical Modernism-inspired living spaces: Villa Monara (meaning Peacock) and Villa Divia (meaning Leopard). Each villa boasts its expansive infinity pool and breathtaking ocean views on either side, all set against lush green lawns.

ÀNI is a self-contained destination that provides every facility and service a group of guests might wish for during their stay. You'll find an air-conditioned gym with glass windows, a double spa treatment suite and a tennis court. For family fun, two children's swimming pools are complete with long, winding waterslides, ensuring hours of entertainment.
