Good to Know
While the resort boasts a stunning location between a lagoon and the Indian Ocean, the beach’s waters can be rough and aren’t suitable for swimming. For those eager to swim in calmer seas, a short tuk tuk ride to Kalutara South train station followed by a scenic 20-minute train ride will take you to Bentota, a quiet coastal town with swimmable beaches loved by locals and not yet overrun by tourism.
Location
Anantara Kalutara is just a 10-minute tuk tuk ride from the historic riverside town of Kalutara. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring southern Sri Lanka’s vibrant heritage, from ancient Buddhist shrines and colonial architecture to lush countryside and scenic coastal train rides.
