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.

Positioned around Villa Monara and Villa Divia, ÀNI's eight Split-Level Suites, four Classic Suites, and three Family Suites are accommodated in separate structures on either side of the two infinity swimming pools, and farther back on the property beside the gracious Arrival Pavilion. Featuring spacious bedrooms with vaulted, woven-bamboo ceilings and terrazzo floors, they offer large bathrooms and views of the Indian Ocean or resort garden.
With design inspired by Tropical Modernism, each suite effortlessly connects indoors to out, with floor-to-ceiling glass doors inviting sea breezes within.
