THE SURF

SECLUDED BAYS AND WAVES

Perched in a more secluded bay, slightly further away from the crowds, there is a fun wave right in front of the resort. Then from just a few minutes either side you have all the famous waves of the area from the perfect beginner beach break at Weligama to the punchy reef breaks at Midigama and Ahangama or the peeling, mellow reefs you can find along the coast. Beginner to intermediate surfers are in paradise here, but there are plenty of options for advanced surfers to be happy as well. Surf guiding and lessons are available for all levels as well.

AMBALAMA PAVILION

The Ambalama Pavilion is meticulously designed to seamlessly blend with its natural surroundings. Transparent walls create an illusion of antique furniture and a double canopy bed nestled within an enchanted garden. Embrace the unique experience of showering outdoors year-round in the tropics, as the bathroom is situated beneath the open sky. Please note that while the pavilion is enclosed by the garden, its proximity to the main gate and driveway may not be ideal for very light sleepers.
