Anantara Kalutara

Excellent stay. Everything was lovely.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a wonderful time at Anantara Kalutara Resort with our family. The beautiful setting, peaceful atmosphere, and luxurious surroundings made our visit extra special. It was a lovely opportunity to relax, enjoy time together, and create unforgettable memories. A truly beautiful destination that we would love to visit again!

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!

A remarkably well coordinated team: from the front office, dining, housekeeping, pool attendants, gardeners, security, to management. Genuinely attentive, courteous, efficient, and always guest-centred. Very happy to recommend as one of the best vacation experiences we've had. Thank you Ananthara!

We recently celebrated my birthday at the hotel for the second consecutive year, and this visit was even more special because we were joined by the newest member of our family—our infant. It truly felt like coming back to a place that cares about its guests. From the moment we checked in, everything was seamless. We stayed in a Deluxe Lagoon View Room, and it exceeded our expectations once again. The room layout is ideal for young families. Even after setting up the travel cot and unpacking all the baby essentials, including the sterilizer and feeding equipment, we still had plenty of space. The abundance of conveniently located power outlets was a thoughtful touch, and the spacious bathroom made our stay even more comfortable. The room itself was beautifully maintained, comfortable, and a pleasure to stay in. Now to the food—it was, without a doubt, some of the best we have enjoyed at any local hotel in a long time. Every meal was delicious, prepared with great attention to detail, and beautifully presented. It was evident that quality and consistency are taken seriously. What truly sets this hotel apart, however, is its people. The personal touches made all the difference—from the handwritten birthday card and thoughtful gift to the birthday cake that made the celebration feel genuinely special. A special thank you to Reshan, who remembered us from our stay last year. That level of genuine hospitality is rare and meant so much to us. He went above and beyond to make this year’s visit just as memorable. The restaurant team also deserves special recognition. They were incredibly attentive to our baby’s needs, happily preparing baby food and ensuring our little one was well looked after throughout our stay. As parents, those thoughtful gestures meant more than words can express. We truly felt cared for every step of the way. I would also like to commend the management for looking after our driver. Many hotels focus solely on their guests, but here, even the driver facilities and their wellbeing are given importance. That speaks volumes about the hotel’s culture. Our driver thoroughly enjoyed his stay as well, and for us, that is something we genuinely value. My wife, our baby, and I left with wonderful memories and are already looking forward to our next visit—hopefully well before my next birthday! Returning feels less like visiting a hotel and more like coming back to familiar faces who genuinely care. Thank you to every member of the team for making our celebration so memorable. Your warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail are what make this hotel truly exceptional. We can’t wait to see you all again soon.

An excellent location right beside the beach, grand setting, genuienly friendly and competent staff. Great management under the supervision of Mr. Christophe [General Manager]. Lakshan and Ashan [Managers], and Kalmini [Food services Manager].

Amazing customer service by Sasindu and team

Excellent facilities. Great food. Friendly staff

We had our wedding on 18th June at Anantara Kalutara Resort, and everything was beyond our expectations. A heartfelt thank you to Thilakshi and Mr. Priyantha for coordinating every detail and supporting us throughout the months of planning. Their professionalism, patience, and dedication made the entire process smooth and stress-free. A very special thanks goes to our wonderful chefs, Isuru and Deepak. They gave us excellent suggestions, and the food was absolutely outstanding. Almost every guest complimented the delicious menu, and we have to mention the best watalappan we've ever tasted—it was simply exceptional! We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to the entire Food & Beverage team, especially Mr. Tharindu, Ganidu, and the rest of the team. Their hard work, warm hospitality, attention to detail, and exceptional service made our special day even more memorable. Not to mention the beautiful ice carving they arranged especially for us. It was a wonderful surprise and added a unique and elegant touch to our wedding celebration. Thank you to everyone at Anantara Kalutara Resort for making our wedding a beautiful and unforgettable celebration. We highly recommend this amazing venue to anyone planning their dream wedding!

We stayed at Anantara Kalutara resort for two nights and we had a memorable experience. Everything has been extremely smooth from the welcome desk to the final checkout, and all our needs were looked into by the diligent staff. The rooms are spacious and clean, the food is delicious, and the hospitality of the hotel staff was great. Both the food served at the buffet and À la carte was delicious. A special thanks to Shamal, the assistant front office manager, who made sure we had a relaxing stay and attended to all our needs with his exceptional service. It was definitely worth the money spent and a lovely place for families and friends to visit.

Excluding food everything was amazing would recommend to have more Indian vegetarian food which can make over all experience amazing

We had a wonderful buffet experience at Olu Restaurant. The food was delicious, and we truly enjoyed our time. Special thanks to the hostesses Ishara, Imasha, and Methmini for their excellent service and warm hospitality. Thank you, Anantara Kalutara, for a memorable experience.

Overall, we are very satisfied with our experience and highly recommend this hotel. The hospitality, friendliness, and care shown by the hotel staff exceeded our expectations. The room was neat, clean, and very well maintained.

We absolutely loved our stay here. We travelled with our 6 month old baby for the first time and all staff made it so accomodating and relaxing. The rooms were clean, the service impeccable and food so tasty. Wherever you go, you are surrounded with pleasant smiles and offers to help. Highly recommend.

Superb location! The food was excellent, the staff were friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, and the rooms were amazing. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable with your outstanding service.

We recently made one of - what is becoming - an annual trip to Sri Lanka. First time at Anantara Kalutara. Good property - bit tired in need of refresh.Very helpful and hard working staff. Our room was very decent sized facing the lagoon. Breakfast was expansive, though could do with some variety. Overall a good experience

Best dinner in Sri Lanka yet. Delicious food and such attentive staff. We wish we could be here for longer. Special shout out to our amazing server Sasupun and the rest of the team Chirantha, Methmini, Kalpani, Rasindu and Sandaru who helped make our birthday dinner super special.

Property is situated at a breathtaking location right across the ocean and lagoon towards the other side. The maintenance of the property is top notch and the staff is very friendly and professional

I had a wonderful experience at Anantara Kalutara Hotel. The property itself is beautiful, peaceful, and very well maintained, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind. The staff were attentive and genuinely welcoming, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I also want to specially mention Daniella Tours, located near the hotel. When my ride got cancelled at the last minute, they stepped in and helped me immediately with an affordable price. Marc, in particular, was extremely kind, friendly, and professional throughout the whole process. His support really saved my day. Overall, both the hotel and the nearby service made my trip smooth and memorable. Highly recommended!

It was a great experience, many things to do with family, definitely worth the spend and the Italian restaurant was amazing!

Awesome property with beach, Excellent staff & food was amazing. Room were very clean & luxurious. Had a great time!!!

All in all, that was a lovely experience. 🤘 Let me pen the good and the not so good, equally. Upon arriving ,the single staff at the concierge seemed distant and not ready for the day's job. No proper welcome . His tone was not friendly .No smile. And no clear instructions were given. Zero staff at the Reception. Stayed for a long time in the lobby not knowing that my room was ready(I arrived early.) Seemed that they were unaware owing to their poor communication that I was already present in the hotel. Kudos to Sous Chef Wijesiri, Shamilan, Imasha and Tharuka at Olu Restaurant!🌹👌! Imasha being very polite, warm, friendly & helpful, Sous Chef Wijesiri- humble and (seriously ) going out of the way for guest satisfaction , Shamilan being that accomodating, very polite, helpful super awsome Supervisor, and last but not the least, Tharuka, the dynamic 'lad'- who always had a smile on the face(even with 'no smiling' guests 🤭), efficient , guest interaction at it's highest, lively & with consistency in delivery, all of them made a brilliant Team! Excellent hospitality guys 👏 ! Not to forget Pawan at Reception with his charming demeanor , quiet and helpful and Lihil, the girl who drove me around in a buggy and took beautiful photographs of me with patience ,all of you are lovingly remembered with much apprecian ! How would one forget the he awesome and friendly Bar staff with their yum Cocktails and the Housekeeping whose service was noteworthy !!👌 The check- out was smooth and homely at the Reception and although the first impression was unpleasant ,the last was something to be remembered! To be unbiased, the last ritual for bidding good bye ,performed by a group of girls and male , no doubt was etched in mind!!🌹 Thank you 'A Team' once again! Keep up your good work !!!.👍 ❤️ 👏 !!

The best vacation in our live! Service,location, swimming pool, rooms, territory, ocean and of course people! Thanks to Shamilan, Rasidy, Vinushi, Imasha and Alice for high quality service! Also big thanks to Mirohi the kindest soul that feeds animals! All Russian tourist are happy to take part in it and happy that Anantara has not only good service, but also big heart opened for animals! With big love Konstantin and Sabina.
