Passikudah, The East Coast, Sri Lanka

Anantaya Resort & Spa is a recent luxurious addition to the Pasikuda coastline. Pasikuda has a wonderful crescent shaped beach with shallow water levels protected by the off shore reef. The best time for visiting this coastline is during the UK summer months, making it an ideal place for honeymooners and families.

This sprawling resort offers a mixture of rooms and suites.  For families, the villas are a popular choice with two or three bedrooms and a private plunge pool.

For the ultimate in relaxation, take a visit to the authentic Balinese spa for holistic and traditional treatments.  On land or on the water there are a range of activities available including beach volleyball, snorkelling the off shore reef and sunset cruises on the ocean. After working up an appetite, head to the all-day diner at The Seaboard Deck or perhaps try the catch of the day at The Singing Fish.
