Anantara Kalutara Resort

This was our first stop in Sri Lanka and it did not disappoint. The first part we wanted somewhere to chill and adjust to the climate etc and Anantara did just that. Great property, food, staff and attention to detail. The whole team went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome particularly to our toddler. Everyone learnt her name and she really enjoyed high giving everyone everyday from front desk, to the restaurant to housekeeping. They were super helpful ensuring she had sufficient food options with her egg allergy too. Food overall was great and rooms fantastic and spacious and well laid out. We had a pool access room and would recommend. We did bed and breakfast but ended up having dinner there most nights so would also recommend doing half board as discovered they often do good deals if you book direct. The spa was lovely and had a great massage. Also, the cocktails from the bar were delicious, some of the best i had in Sri Lanka! Lychee martini being a highlight.

We planned to find a quiet place to spend a calm week celebrating my Wife’s Birthday. The welcome and drive from the Airport by Mr Godahewa was smooth. He kept us entertained with his vast knowledge of Sri Lanka, we must say that Mr Godahewa’s professionalism was exceptional. On arrival at the Hotel, the staff took excellent care of us, Thank you to Mr Lashan the Manager for upgrading us to the Suite. Everyone at the hotel from the cleaner, Chambermaid, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the spa made our stay memorable. Thanks go to Chathuka, Krish, Anna, Vimukthi, Kavindi, Sanka, and others of which we have not mentioned by name. Very Special thanks goes to the Chef ‘Mr Chaminda’ and his team. Mr Chaminda is the best on the Island and must be recommended for his great customer service and tasty food. Mr Chaminda thank you very much for preparing and making my wife's Birthday memorable.

Everything! Lovely resort for families. The area is calm and relaxing. The resort is really big and has lots of activities for kids and adults. The views are just spectacular. We got the half board( breakfast and dinner) which I highly recommend since there aren’t many restaurants around, there is a big variety of dishes for every taste and we really liked it, we also tried the other restaurants in the hotel and all were really good as well. The staff went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with our stay. We had a little issue with our room and the staff gave us a complementary upgrade. Special thanks Ms.Kaushi jayasighe who ensured that we were always satisfied in our stay. She gave us her WhatsApp and was always available to tend to our queries and requests. I would like to thank Mr.Praveen Who Also helped us with any technical issues and was very polite and kind. Definitely want to visit again

s a repeat guest, I can’t praise Chathuka’s exceptional hospitality enough. From his warm, genuine smile upon arrival to his unwavering attention to detail, Chathuka creates an unforgettable experience. His personalized recommendations and dedication to ensuring every moment is perfect truly set him apart. It’s clear that his passion for his work and outstanding professionalism will take him far in his career. I always leave with wonderful memories and can’t wait to return for another incredible stay. Highly recommended!”

Amazingly luxurious rooms, fantastic buffet food, attentive staff, great beach to chill on, good pool chairs, nice a la carte restaurants. The manager Lachan really looked after us and resolved a room issue quickly.
