Anantara Kalutara - simply amazing!
Our holiday to Sri Lanka was made all the better by our fantastic stay at Anantara Kalutara. The welcome we received at the hotel was one of a kind, which continued throughout our stay. The staff at the resort are genuine, lovely, caring and went out of their way to ensure we had the best trip. Nothing was too much for them and their attention to detail for our twins added to our comfort and stay.
Kalpani and the team at Olu restaurant made sure that we were well looked after, which included preparing our preferred table daily, remembering our drinks order and ensuring this was provided to us without us asking, ensuring our twins’ bottles were replenished with apple juice throughout the day, and, never letting our min fridge go without milk for the boys’ morning and evening routine. Special thanks goes to Ishara, Vihanga, Methmini, Vinushi and Sasupan. Your kindness and lovely farewell with our cards and table will always be a memory for us. Sasupan, thank you for the kites which we will use when the weather is warmer and for your kindness and generosity.
Thank you to Sashita, Yeshan, Bhanuka and Dineth from Acquolina and Spice Traders. Our dinners were so enjoyable and you went the extra mile for the boys by preparing their dinners just the way they liked it.
Thank you to Charmara for looking after us and preparing our vehicle with our luggage, car seats and organising our tuktuks!
Last but not least, massive thanks goes to Krish. From welcoming us into the resort, coming out with me as I was unsure where to go and what to say, checking in on us daily, taking us on a tour of the grounds and the spice garden, and always looking out for the boys and making sure they were happy and looked after, you went above and beyond in every way possible. We always felt safe and happy knowing you were there if and when we needed you and for that we will always be grateful to you and your hospitality.
Thank you to everyone at Anantara Kalutara for giving us the most perfect holiday and hopefully, we will see each other again!

An Unforgettable Stay at Anantara Kalutara Resort! ❤️
We had several options when planning our getaway, but after reading guest reviews, we chose Anantara Kalutara. After our experience, it will definitely be our first choice for our next family getaway!
Our stay was from October 10th to 11th. Despite the resort being extremely crowded, the exceptional hospitality exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived.
Special thanks to Shabeena Ameen for her warm welcome, wonderful room upgrade, hotel tour, and continuous care throughout our stay. Her hospitality was truly exceptional!
Sasupun from the restaurant deserves special recognition. His attentiveness was outstanding! When my wife felt uncomfortable with the heat while dining outside, he noticed without us asking and arranged a cooling unit. Such thoughtful care genuinely touched us.
Heartfelt appreciation to Ishara Dissanayake, the Duty Manager, for his prompt assistance, and Shamal Wanigasuriya, the Assistant Manager, for his professionalism and thoughtful care.
I also truly appreciate the wonderful way the team handled my birthday arrangements, making the occasion even more special and memorable.
The food was absolutely delicious, and the entire team was amazing!
The beautiful traditional farewell with music and dancing made us emotional. Our only regret was booking just one night!
Despite the crowd, everyone made us feel genuinely valued.
Beautiful rooms and delicious food make a stay enjoyable, but it's the people who make it unforgettable.
We arrived as guests and left feeling like family. ❤️
Highly recommended! 10/10. We'll definitely return!
