Amanwella opened in 2005 on Sri Lanka's southern coast at Tangalle, with 30 suites set along a crescent beach.

Aman's pavilion format executed at intimate 30-suite scale on Sri Lanka's southern coast, with private plunge pools in every suite — smaller and more architecturally focused than the island's larger resort alternatives.
