Anawasal Resort - Yoga & Wellness

We had an absolutely amazing experience at Anawasal Resort. From the moment we arrived, it felt like visiting family. Shibi and Dinesh, the hosts, were incredibly welcoming and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was exceptional. They took care of us in the most remarkable way. The food at the resort was absolutely delicious, with a variety of mouthwatering dishes to indulge in. I must mention that the yoga sessions led by Shibi were exceptional. Shibi's passion for yoga shone through, creating a harmonious and transformative practice. We left feeling refreshed, balanced, and grateful for the opportunity to practice yoga under her guidance. The experience at Anawasal Resort was so incredible that we couldn't resist returning for a few more days at the end of our holiday. Moreover, for those who enjoy kitesurfing, the duotone kitesurfing spot is conveniently located just on the other side of the gate. We highly recommend Anawasal Resort for a truly memorable and rejuvenating stay.

Idyllic getaway location perfect to connect with Sri Lankan hospitality and nature. The location is paradise, from the gorgeous pool, communal lounge to sunset over the lagoon. The natural bathrooms were a highlight. We loved our stay and the wonderful atmosphere created by the managers and team. Highly recommend and will certainly be back!

Amazing 3 nights at Anawasal. Shibi and all the team are so welcoming and helpful, it was the perfect start to our Sri Lanka trip

the food is delicious, the sunsets over the pontoon, the pool, the view from the rooms out to the lagoon, free kayaks and SUP, yoga with Shibi all 10/10.

A little corner of paradise, strongly recommended! The resort is lovingly managed by the owners who also do their utmost to help guests organize excursions or give practical advice. There is the possibility to practice numerous activities and it is also possible to use bicycles, kayaks and sup for free. The swimming pool and the whole area around the huts are beautiful - even the cuisine is very good and authentic.

We absolutely loved this place. Nice and quiet. Food was amazing and made with love. We had a private dinner at the lagoon side. Super friendly staff and owners. Look no further!

This resort is absolutely awesome. You can relax and let your mind recover fully. We had an amazing time and were treaty perfectly fine by the staff. Highly recommended. Thanks a million!

This Resort is truly a slice of heaven. When we arrived we believed to have found a paradise. It is so beautiful and peaceful here. You can go kayaking, paddle boarding or take a bicycle to the city. The food is amazing and the staff are wonderful. You are close to nature and if you want to have a drink you can go next door and drink with some other travelers (all of whom are peaceful and appreciate the nature). If you are looking for a place to unwind and experience a bit of nature I would 100% recommend this place.

We only stayed there for 2 days with great regret because I can say in advance that it was the 2 most beautiful days of our stay thanks to the kindness of our host couple and all their attentive team.
Calm, relaxation, the feeling of being at home so much they put us at ease, divinely good food and a magnificent swimming pool.
Incredible people, an incredibly beautiful and relaxing place = an unforgettable stay.

I stayed for a week as a single traveller and I had the most relaxing stay of my whole trip to Sri Lanka. The location, right on the lagoon is beautiful. Shibi and Dinesh were fab and made my stay really comfortable. The food was excellent and loads of effort was made to accommodate my funny eating schedule. I would love to return and spend longer as it was a real reset for me. Many thanks and big hugs to the whole team for making my stay so memorable xx

Most amazing place! It’s a beautiful location right at the lagoon, very calm and relaxing but a lot of options to be active if you want to be e.g. Kite surfing, diving, safari, dolphin watching, SUP. The staff is great and will know about your wishes before you do. The food is extremely nice, make sure you try the Lankan dinner. It was my favorite place in Sri Lanka and I wish I could have stayed longer, definitely will be back!

I love this place! We had a wonderful time here and will definitely be back! ️
Thank you for the hospitality, the good tips and the delicious food! I can definitely recommend it!?

I can't express the feeling with words! The place is so calm and comfortable, it's like paradise! Shibi and Dinesh with their staff are the most helpful, intelligent and friendly people you can imagine. Everything was more than perfect! We spend unforgettable holidays and we feel like we are with our best friends at home. We have yoga classes with the best teacher - Shibi, kite surfing and a lot of time with their wonderful dogs. We miss you and hope to see you soon!

No words can describe this place properly.
But I try it anyway. For us it was the best experience in whole Sri Lanka! My friend and I stayed there for 5 Days.
Here you can have everything. Total relaxation just on the site (because there literally is everything you need, and if not they get it for you ;-) or a lot of different tours which you can book with the hosts and go either by boat directly from the Jetty or by tuktuk directly from the property.
There are tours to go through the mangroves by boat, a tour to watch dolphins (we've seen like hundreds), a tour to go to Wilpattu Nationalpark to do a safari, a beach tour, a Massage, Yoga on the property and so on.
You really don't need to think about anything and you don't need to plan anything. Actually we had no plans when we came here and no idea what to do there but they got everything planned perfectly you just need to choose what you want to do one day ahead.
Everything really was so comfortable we felt even better than at home. The rooms were perfectly clean and the interior nicely decorated. I loved the shower the most, cause you can look at the stars while showering <3.
The hosts try to avoid garbage and especially plastics which made me very happy because I try to avoid plastics in my life too.
And on top of all is the outstanding kitchen. The food there is amazing! We had the Sri Lankan dinner every day and it was something totally different each evening. So we could learn a lot about Sri Lankan cuisine.
And if you like to drink a cocktail or something else, just ask for it they try to make it work.
This place literally is Paradise! I can totally recommend it if you are looking for some quiet days or especially for honeymoon.
You might think the prices are higher than at other places, but let you be told it is definitely worth it. You get much more than what you are paying for!
This hospitality and kindness of the staff, the deep relaxation you get there and just the whole experience there in the middle of nowhere between the mangroves is a experience worth more than you can buy with money.
I really hope to come back someday.
Wish you all the best!

Wonderful resort run by the most knowledgeable, friendly couple who make you feel like home from the get go. There’s cabanas with swimming pool and a jetty onto the lagoon for the most beautiful sunsets. You’ll have access to SUP boards and a kayak, the possibility to join yoga sessions with the very talented owner Shibi, and next door there’s a kiting school and a bar. The food is great- and breakfast is served when you’re hungry. No need to stress about anything here! In short- the most relaxing place to be active or just chill- while large Brahminy kites circle over you and friendly dogs relax under the palm trees. We stayed an extra day cause we just couldn’t bring ourselves to leave!

We had the most amazing 3 nights at Anawasal. Shibi and all the team are so welcoming and helpful, it was the perfect start to our Sri Lanka trip

There are many reasons why we loved Anawasal: the food is amazing, the sunsets over the pontoon, the pool, the view from the rooms out to the lagoon, free kayaks and SUP, yoga with Shibi, and breakfast is delicious.

We also really appreciated their considered approach to the environment, and their care towards their own dogs and local strays in funding vet care.

We recommend to go dolphin watching and to do safari at Wilpattu, both of which the team at Anawasal will help you organise. We really want to come back!

Einfach Erholung pur. Super freundliche Gastgeber, leckeres Essen und Getränke, tolle Hunde und die Unterkunft ist auch sehr schön gestaltet. Alles in Allem ein Rundum-Wohlfühl-Paket ️

It is truly a special place. Everything was more than perfect: the accommodation, the vegeterian food, the supportive and hospitable owners. We felt as if our friends invited us to their home. Evenings with good wine and laughter will stay in our memory forever. The place is perfect for Yoga lovers, or if you plan to kitesurf or if you are simply up to chilling in the private jungle by the swimming pool with a lagoon view.

Our stay at Anawasal on Kalpitiya peninsula was amazing! Shibi and Dinesh were more than kind and trying to fulfill all our needs as a family of four. They provided us with lots of informations and helped us a lot. The breakfast and dinner we had there was really good and homemade by the friendly staff. The rooms are clean and beautiful, the garden and the pool are also amazing, very calming. The atmosphere on this property facing the lagoon, and in the surroundings is quiet and relaxing- away from all that hustle and bustle of the main roads and cities. You can join yoga classes with Shibi or learn how to kite surf with the neighbor hotel.
We can highly recommend Anawasal to everyone who is looking for a comfortable and calm place for example after a long journey.

Nice and calm location. Good service. You can get a Sri Lankan meal and delicious snacks. Also can request and get a boat ride to see the dolphins watching. Worth to visit

This place is a very wonderful place. A place worth experiencing and recording great images here. If you have the opportunity, come here to take time to relax for yourself and feel happy to live in an extremely luxurious and beautiful environment here.
