Ahu Bay

    Tucked into a private cove on Sri Lanka’s south-west coast, Ahu Bay is a laid-back yet luxuriously styled beach house made for slow living. With just a handful of contemporary suites and pool villas overlooking the Indian Ocean, the property feels intimate and exclusive. Days begin with yoga on the deck and end with fresh seafood feasts under the stars. Ahu Bay’s open kitchen, infinity pool and spa treatments set the scene for total relaxation, while its barefoot luxury ethos makes every stay feel effortlessly personal and refreshingly unpretentious.
