Sri Lanka’s spectacular coastline offers palm-fringed bays and sweeping stretches of rolling waves lapping gently onto warm sandy beaches.

It’s the place for every type of beachgoer to surf, relax and enjoy the Sri Lankan beach culture. Along this picturesque coast, Reverie has opened two boutique properties. Kayaam House in Tangalle will open in January 2023, and Ahu Bay in Ahungalla in February 2023. The properties are just two hours apart.

Perched on Ahungalla Point between two secluded bays on the south-west coast is Ahu Bay, a relaxed beach house for free spirits, made up of a collection of four suites and three three-bedroom beach villas, available either on a rent-by-the-room or exclusive use basis. Pared-back, rustic interiors will feature neutral sandy tones, rattan furniture, recycled wood accents and plenty of natural greenery.

A casual all-day dining venue that will serve Sri Lankan and international favourites, surrounded by manicured lawns, beach cabanas, a Sanctuary Spa and a shimmering infinity swimming pool.
