Ahu Bay

A boutique hideaway seasoned with local flavour, Ahu Bay is an oceanfront idyll of suites and villas on a quieter stretch of Sri Lanka’s southwest coast. Its location – north of Balapitiya, on an oceanswept promontory flanked by jungle-fringed, sand beaches – flirts with perfection. The additions of a spa, gastronomic dining and a hotel-spanning infinity pool bring resort frills to its boutique charms. This is not, however, a place to fly and flop… The wealth and finesse of tours and experiences on offer elevate Ahu Bay into the most brilliant of basecamps for getting to know Sri Lanka.

Ahu Bay is oceanfront on Ahungalla Beach, on Sri Lanka’s southwest coast, south of Colombo.
