The ideal location to enjoy a luxury beach holiday

HERITANCE AHUNGALLA Ahungalla
A SENSE OF GRANDEUR greets you at the entrance of the Heritance Ahungalla as your eyes are drawn across tranquil pools and columns to the Indian Ocean . This is a luxury resort hotel , located on a 15-acre beachfront estate , originally designed by the architect Geoffrey Bawa as the Triton Hotel . Its most stunning feature is the aquamarine infinity pool , which appears to drop straight into the sea . Heritance Ahungalla is decorated in contemporary shades of black , beige , and gold with modern lines and elegant contours . Every bedroom is set at a different angle to its neighbours , another signature of Bawa ’ s genius , so once you enter your room , you feel as if you are alone on the beach , cocooned in luxury . This first class beach resort offers an extensive range of facilities for adults and children , including tennis , table tennis , a nightclub , a luxurious spa and a children ’ s play area . Three restaurants serve international and traditional Sri Lankan cuisine to satisfy all tastes ( supervised by a world-class chef ). As well as sumptuous buffets and fine-dining , you can enjoy succulent dishes and snacks in the Coffee Shop and sip a drink while feasting your eyes on the ocean vista , lulled by the sound of the waves . Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery and the Madu Ganga ( river ) lagoon are amongst the places of interest nearby , whilst historic Galle is within an hour ’ s drive .
