Very nice vibe.
Tasty local food.
Kindness and availability of the staff.
Easy access to the kite surfing school literally 30 meters away by foot.
Some food options - especially snacks - do not match with the vibe of the venue. Just stick to typical Sri Lankan food, that will be best.

Everything. The food, the hospitality, the facilities, the additional options such as kayaking, SUP, kite surfing next door.

Amazing stay in a very beautiful place! Extended my stay for total of 8 nights because I did not want to leave. The owners and staff really look after you and its a very peaceful environment.
I especially enjoyed the daily yoga class with Shibi and the food was always delicious and they were very flexible with meal timings.
Right next door is an excellent kite surfing center - not to miss!
Highly recommend!

Everything! From the moment we arrived we were so happy that we chose to stay at Anawasal. The location is beautiful and feels very relaxing. Shibi and her husband and the rest of the staff were all very friendly whilst also providing excellent service. We have a 6 month old baby travelling with us, and they were very flexible with timings for meals, trips, yoga etc to suit our needs , even serving us breakfast as late as we wanted (great when you are jet lagged after an overnight flight and in need of a lie in). The food was absolutely fantastic. We enjoyed every meal, and would particularly recommend the Sri Lankan cuisine which they serve each evening (all prepared freshly each day). I also did a couple of yoga classes with Shibi which were really good and such a beautiful place to do the class (right next to the lagoon). The location also felt very safe for our baby to stay in and we particularly enjoyed using the pool with him.

Very nice accommodation, good food, nice little pool area. As can be seen from the other applications, it is the people who make this place something special. We started our Sri Lanka trip there, very good to relax and unwind.
The boat trip through the lagoon to the beach is also recommended. Spectacularly, we were able to observe a white-bellied sea eagle chasing a snake. The eagle and other birds can be easily observed from the jetty.

Beautiful, quiet little resort hidden at the back of the lagoon between the palm trees. It is run by the friendliest and most accommodating couple who go out of their way to make you feel at home. Do you want a chat? They are happy to talk about a multitude of subjects. Do you want to chill? They will make sure you can do so to the fullest. Their staff too is discreet, really friendly and helpful. The three houses and central dining place are decorated tastefully, truly a little paradise. We had an excellent stay here, being on our own due the politico-economic crisis, and can really recommend it!

I can't express the feeling with words! The place is so calm and comfortable, it's like paradise! Shibi and Dinesh with their staff are the most helpful, intelligent and friendly people you can imagine. Everything was more than perfect! We spend unforgettable holidays and we feel like we are with our best friends at home. We have yoga classes with the best teacher - Shibi, kite surfing and a lot of time with their wonderful dogs. We miss you and hope to see you soon!

Place and hosts were perfect !

Thanks again for the amazing experience.

I would rate this place for 20/10. It is truly a special place. Everything was more than perfect: the accommodation, the vegeterian food, the supportive and hospitable owners. We felt as if our friends invited us to their home. Evenings with good wine and laughter will stay in our memory forever. The place is perfect for Yoga lovers, or if you plan to kitesurf or if you are simply up to chilling in the private jungle by the swimming pool with a lagoon view.

Best stay in Sri Lanka by far. I have been to kalpitiya three times before and have found the place I will return to for the rest of my life. The food is incredible, everyday is different tasty and healthy meals with a lot of variety and flavor. The owners dinesh and Shibi help you with anything you need and go out of their way to ensure your comfort. It feels like staying at a good friend's place that has all the amenities you need and give you all the comforts or space you desire. Also, It's the prettiest part of the kalpitiya lagoon too and you wish to stay here longer and longer. The yoga every morning was blissful and in a world class location. The pool is a joy. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The open air bathrooms are incredible. The kite school next door is well equipped for all your needs. No wonder the prorperty has such good reviews and is booked in advance always.
The fact that we have to leave eventually.

The hosts are incredibly warm and hospitable. It felt like we were staying at a friend's home (not a hotel)! The Sri Lankan dinners were delicious.

I had a fantastic experience during my 3 day yoga retreat which was truly memorable and the highlight of my trip. The yoga classes with Shibi were excellent, really peaceful and restorative. It was incredible to practice on the jetty looking out over the lagoon. This is the closest to paradise I have come during my travels around the island and can recommend the vegetarian Sri Lanka dinner which was home-cooked, freshly prepared and really nourishing.

We had such a wonderful time at Anawasal. Shibi and her husband could not have been any more welcoming if they tried and the staff were all fantastic too. Anawasal is in the most beautiful quiet spot looking out onto the lagoon with a lovely shady pool to cool off in and hammocks to relax in as well as a lovely lounge area to sit and eat. They also have a SUP and kayak to explore the lagoon on. We really enjoyed doing some of Shibi’s yoga classes too on the beautiful hut in the lagoon which has the most amazing views. Everything about the place was so peaceful and we could have stayed for weeks!
The food was absolutely delicious and some of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka. Shibi asked our dietary requirements in advance and they made us the tastiest vegetarian food for our entire stay and each night it was completely different to the last. They have a great selection of smoothies and snacks on offer during the day too. Breakfasts were really tasty and varied and set us up perfectly for our days kite surfing.
The rooms were really clean and had views across the water with a little terrace to sit outside too. The outdoor bathroom was a really cool touch. It was a perfect base for us whilst we had a few days of kite surfing lessons.
Thank you to the whole team for such a fabulous stay, we hope to come back one day and will recommend you far and wide!
Nothing, everything was great.

We loved our stay at the lagoon. The service and food was great thanks to Mama, Sudu and Nishanta. Shibi’s early yoga classes are a great start for the day. Sun salutation worked fine after a rainy day! Dinner was very healthy with a lot of spices and herbs and really delicious. We can highly recommend it. Thanks for the great service. And please hug Kurumba and Ana… we miss them!
We appreciate a room service every day.

This is a perfect little oasis away from the hustle and bustle of the more tourists areas of Sri Lanka. A safe, quaint and quiet village. We ended up staying longer than planned as we enjoyed the place (and food!) so much. The little cottages are spacious and clean, with strong fans and good AC. The outdoor bathroom is beautifully designed.
The swimming pool is new and perfectly refreshing. Yoga classes are offered on-site and help to keep the relaxation vibe going during your stay.
Shibi and her staff are extremely gracious hosts that go out of their way to ensure your comfort and satisfaction. Just thinking about the food makes my mouth water. Everything was delicious and the two evenings we dined there we had completely different dishes, all of them were exquisite!
Our only regret was not to have had a little more time there in order to do a kite surfing initiation course.
Lots of wind in the area so good conditions for beginners to learn.
