Avani Kalutara Resort

About the Avani Kalutara Resort

Located in Kalutara on Sri Lanka’s west coast, Avani Kalutara Resort occupies a distinctive space on a peninsula between the Kalu Ganga lagoon and the Indian Ocean. Designed by Geoffrey Bawa in his signature Tropical Modern style, the resort combines clean contemporary lines with open spaces that make the most of its unusual riverside and beachfront surroundings. Kalutara’s quieter location adds to the sense of calm.
