Surfer's paradise
Sri Lanka is renowned for its surf and attracts both experienced and novice surfers year-round. The beaches near Amanwella boast a range of breaks for all levels, and the resort can arrange one-on-one lessons with experienced local surfers.
Fishing
Catching your own dinner is an unforgettable experience, especially when Amanwella’s chefs will prepare your fish – whether mahi mahi, tuna, mullet, para or seer – just as you like it. At 6.00am with the sun gilding the ocean, join Wasantha, a local fisherman and father of two, and his friend Asiri, and learn the traditional handline method of fishing. (Contemporary rods are also available.) You will travel 3km offshore and fish for about two to three hours.
