Overlook the Indian Ocean from your balcony or terrace. Every one of Amaya Reef’s 54 rooms features an ocean view, and each offers individual design.

Simplicity. Clean design that allows you to enjoy the natural setting. Ocean breezes. Sri Lankan sunsets. A comfortable space of your own to enjoy the beauty of Hikkaduwa.

Grilled lobster. Sri Lankan fish. Tiger prawns. Sri Lankan curries. Dine on the freshest seafood with exquisite flavours and local touches that give each dish a flavour unique from any you have tasted elsewhere in the world.

Amaya Reef’s culinary director and staff seek out the individual desires of each guest, ensuring them a personalised dining experience that outshines the buffets or one-menu-suits-all approach found in many restaurants.

Theme nights bring you close to Sri Lankan culture and world cuisine, with décor and culinary offerings evoking each special theme.

Savour drinks at the bar, chatting with the friendly bartenders, or enjoy your cocktails at a table beneath the trees. The bar is found between the main building and the seaside restaurant. Choose your pleasure from a selection of cocktails, beers, wines, shooters. Adventurous revellers are invited to try a drink made from the strong local coconut liquor arrack.

An outdoor pool, situated to enjoy views of the sea, like every location at Amaya Reef. Take a dip. Soak in the sun on a lounger. Delve into a book (or your laptop) beneath the shade of a palm. Wi-fi access lets you surf the net while still savouring the views.


Most guests choose to spend their days around the sea, and the resort has been designed with this desire in mind. Every room has a sea view, and early risers can enjoy the brilliant early morning blue from their balcony. Enjoy breakfast in the oceanside restaurant, choosing from international fare or Sri Lankan style for a taste of local culture. A morning walk south along the beach will take you to quiet stretches of beach bordered by lush greenery and coconut palms.

In the afternoon, snorkel the coral reef, or take a trip to the Dutch colonial fort in nearby Galle .

Luxuriate in the evening with a lobster dinner, freshly caught and served according to your desires.

Feel free to follow our suggestions. And of course, guests can also experience the resort according to their own desires.

Wegbeschreibung

A lively beach town straddling Galle Road, which runs from Colombo to the country’s southern reaches. As you walk through the town, encounter shops where you can pick up local artwork, batiks, clothing or even a distinctive piece of jewellery.

Those seeking culture will find the town dotted with a few interesting temples, and heading a little inland you can catch a glimpse of the local lifestyle. Just cross Galle Road and stroll down a promising sidelane, where you may discover a temple ceremony, local farmers, or a spirited game of cricket.
