Anantara Kalutara<\/h1>\r\n

Uniquely secluded between the Indian Ocean and Kalu Ganga River, Anantara Kalutara Resort is naturally exclusive.<\/h5>\r\n

You can admire two views of paradise from a haven of elegant simplicity and great craftsmanship, inspired by the late Geoffrey Bawa – Sri Lanka\u2019s most famous architect.<\/p>\r\n

Along Sri Lanka\u2019s beautiful southwest coast, Anantara Kalutara Resort boasts a dual waterway frontage. Balance coastal seclusion with Colombo\u2019s buzz and Galle\u2019s fortress charms \u2013 both within an hour\u2019s drive. Just 10-minutes away, historic Kalutara reveals a rich spice-trading and colonial heritage. Explore tea plantations and mansions, sacred temples and the world\u2019s only hollow Buddhist shrine. Cruise the Kalu Ganga River which twists almost 100 miles from Adam\u2019s Peak or Sri Pada – the sacred mountain believed to have the footprint of the Buddha.<\/p>\r\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”100″ class=”image-conetent-block”][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=”left-image”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]\r\n\t

Why do we love Anantara Kalutara?<\/h2>\r\nWe love Anantara Kalutara Resort because this is the only luxury resort in Sri Lanka with 360-degree ocean and lagoon views, having unique Indian Ocean and Kalu Ganga estuary frontage.
