Details

A sweeping beachfront estate on five verdant acres (two hectares) of Sri Lanka's south coast, ÀNI offers an entire, all-inclusive, private resort designed exclusively for a single group of guests.

Set on a gentle rise above a palm-fringed beach near Dickwella, the resort claims mesmerizing views of the Indian Ocean and can accommodate from 6 to 30 guests across eight Split-Level Suites, four Classic Suites, and three Family Suites. These are positioned around two doublestory Tropical Modernism-inspired Living Salas – Villa Monara (meaning Peacock) and Villa Divia (meaning Leopard) – which overlook their own vast infinity pools and the sea on either side of an emerald swathe of lawn.

With a discreet and dedicated team of 30 to fulfill every wish, ÀNI tailors every detail – from special dining, cultural, and wellness moments, to kids' activities, personal training, and exploration of the region – to ensure a bespoke experience that defies expectations.
