Villa Ani Split Level Sri Lanka

Set over two levels to make the most of stunning ocean or garden views, each Split-Level Suite offers a large private terrace with twin daybeds for alfresco relaxation. Four of the eight suites feature their own private plunge pools. Beneath vaulted woven-bamboo ceilings, the king-size bed is complemented by an open plan sitting area, while the large bathroom features twin basins, a striking circular bath, and a rain shower. A seamless ramp addition makes these Suites suitable for guests with accessibility needs.
Embraced by verdant jungle with panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, ÀNI Sri Lanka welcomes you and yours alone to this private beachfront estate on the island’s fabled south coast. Accommodating up to 30 guests, we offer two Tropical Modernism-inspired Living Salas with upstairs and downstairs living and dining spaces overlooking two vast infinity pools. Our dedicated staff of 30 will curate every detail of your all-inclusive ÀNI stay.
A sweeping beachfront estate on five verdant acres (two hectares) of Sri Lanka’s south coast, ÀNI offers an entire, all-inclusive private resort, designed exclusively for a single group of guests.
Set on a gentle rise above a palm-fringed beach near Dickwella, the resort claims mesmerising views of the Indian Ocean and can accommodate up to 30 guests across eight Split-Level Suites, four Classic Suites, and three Family Suites. These are positioned around two double-story Tropical Modernism- inspired Living Salas – Villa Monara (meaning Peacock) and Villa Divia (meaning Leopard) – which overlook their own vast infinity pools and the sea on either side of an emerald swathe of lawn.
With a discreet and dedicated team of 30 to fulfil every wish, ÀNI tailors every detail – from special dining, cultural, and wellness moments, to kids’ activities, personal training, and exploration of the region – to ensure a bespoke experience that defies expectations.
A stay at ÀNI is all-inclusive, from every personalised meal and spa treatment, to tailored excursions and kids’ activities. This means no hidden costs or price lists; just pure relaxation and the time and space for guests to focus on what is important to them.

Crafted with a generosity of spirit unique to ÀNI, every guest privilege – from tennis lessons to tuk tuk tours around local villages – is utterly bespoke.
Additional Experiences
Outside of our comprehensive inclusions, we can arrange any possible experience offered along Sri Lanka’s south coast and into the country’s interior, ensuring itineraries are planned and transportation is booked. Known as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, the island truly is a world within one country, offering countless ways to engage with its rich culture, experience its natural beauty, and bask in its glorious climate.
Private helicopter tours whisk you upcountry to verdant tea estates and the Cultural Triangle. Or cruise the coastline on a private catamaran, spotting blue whales and dolphins in season. Explore Galle Fort with a local guide or hike through the Sinharaja Rainforest – both UNESCO World Heritage Sites. From learning the art of pottery to witnessing leopards in their natural habitat in Yala National Park, experiences ripe with wonder and awe await.
