    The accomodation was really beautiful, quiet and clean. The chef did an amazing job on dinner (and lunch), it is definitely worth it to have dinner at the accomodation at least once :) All the staff was super friendly and provided us with everything that we needed. We spend our time chilling on the private beach and diving with Divinguru in Nilaveli. We both booked an ayeurvedic massage at the accomodation and the lady who gave the massage was very professional. We did have our own tuktuk, which was very convenient as there is not much to do in Kumpurupiddi itself and we went to Nilaveli when we wanted to eat out.

    Menu was a little bit expensive (although it was very tasty and healthy) you can also ask for a tuktuk to eat somewhere else so it is fine.

    Comodity and silence. Perfect location on the beach (clean and quiet)

    Despite the non stopping rain for days and days, our stay in Amanta Beach was just perfect. Everything is as shown on the photos and written in the description and actually there is much more. Slightly out of the village, just right on the private beach, with a huge garden and a cute swimming pool, you will be offered very tasty breakfasts and dinners.. The rooms and the private gardens have everything you may need. And those stylish decorations! I need to mention also the very lovely staff who make you feel very welcome and still manage to give you the privacy you want in such a place. It is not the cheapest, but absolutely worth the value.

    Luxurious beach resort
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The location is very remote, which might or might not be a downside. There are no restaurants nearby. If you're looking to discover the Trincomalee area, try to stay in town, or you can get a tuk tuk for around 2500 rupees one way (30 mins), or take the bus. The dinner and other services provided are pricy for Sri Lanka.

    The hotel is stunning, it feels very luxurious for a reasonable price for european standards. The staff is super friendly and helpful, especially the manager Shyakthi. We ended up staying 2 more nights. The biggest highlight was the private beach, we were there alone most of the time and the sea is perfect for swimming. The beach is equipped with sun beds and a shower. The hotel offers 4 course dinner for 7000 rupees per person and ayurvedic massage for 35 dollars. It is the perfect place if you want to relax in a beach resort.

    We had a very relaxing time at Amanta Beach. Beautiful room, spacious&well designed. We loved the outdoor area (garden/ beach) a lot & enjoyed the calming atmosphere. The two dogs are gorgeous, friendly and it’s very nice to see & good to know that they are treated well & a have a home. ♥️🙏🏽 Unfortunately, this is not a matter of course in the Trincomalee area.

    The best place for a relaxed holiday at the beach. Everything is perfect, it is all in the details…. The maintenance is excellent. The owners wife is French so you can feel it in the interiors. The wide beach is spotless clean, they check it every day. Next to a cute fisherman place with little boats. Lovely garden. The swimming pool is very cute. The food is very good. The chefs worked in 5 star hotels. They can arrange tuk tuk and different tours ( they do not charge commission). Thank you for this little paradise!

    Private Beach Resort close to Nilaveli and Trinco. Must See for Yourself!

    It was perfect! We wished we could have stayed longer.

    We stayed at Amanta Beach Resort for two nights and wished we would have stayed for a week! The property is beautiful and private but close enough to Nilaveli & Trinco that you could take a Tuk Tuk if you needed to. The rooms were spotless, beautiful, and everything worked perfectly (including the air con). As previous reviewers have said, the beach is your own little private slice of paradise. We were there a few weeks before the heavy season, so the seas were a bit rough, but we spent many hours lounging in the chairs on the sand! The food was amazing too! We had dinner one night and it was one of the best meals that we've had on our year abroad. The owner/chef comes out and explains everything and tells you where he got the ingredients from (mostly his on-site garden). Shyakthi and his staff make this place what it is! They all go above and beyond to make sure you're enjoying yourself and that you're comfortable. They put a lot of time and energy into the entire experience and it shows. There is a reason this hotel is rated 9+ on Booking and you should definitely come see for yourself!

    The only slight issue was with the lack of availability of hot water. I'd hesitate to criticise though as we didn't mention it to the staff. We both didn't mind a cool shower as the weather was so hot!

    Absolutely brilliant staff, super helpful and friendly. The setting is beautiful with the beach being pretty much deserted for miles and miles. Rooms were lovely and the food was absolutely outstanding. Highly recommended!

    Unacceptable 3% charge on card payments for such an upscale hotel (similar hotels in SL just absorb it). Wi-Fi reception is poor and slow, both at hotel lobby and rooms. Breakfast plates are served one plate after the other, mixing savoury and sweet. Maybe they could be served around the same time, allowing guests to decide what to eat first.

    Recommended gourmet French-Sinhalese fusion dinner. Great design and attention to detail. Exceptional toiletries. Quiet, clean and comfortable private beach.

    If you don‘t like to stay at a very remote place, you shouldn’t come here. But it‘s very nice to relax.

    The beach is beautiful. You can relax all day. The food was good. The dinner is also very special, nice and tasty (but a bit pricy for Sri Lanka). The staff was always friendly and helpful. The room is spacious and nice. The bed is also comfortable.
