Amethyst Resort

Amethyst Resort is a 4-star property situated on Coconut Board Road in Passikudah, part of the Aitken Spence Hotels chain. Positioned directly beside a crescent-shaped sandy beach, the hotel offers modern comforts for a relaxed family retreat or romantic getaway in Sri Lanka.

Families will find a children's pool available for younger guests to splash and play, alongside a main outdoor pool surrounded by a deck with sun loungers and parasols. The resort features 97 brightly decorated rooms and dining options including an onsite restaurant serving seafood and a Mediterranean-style pub. Guests may also explore the nearby Bay of Passikudah's coral reef or visit Kallady Lagoon to see the famous singing fish between April and September.

While the hotel provides a relaxing beach holiday, some activities or specific dining experiences may be available for an extra charge. The ancient ruins of Polonnaruwa are located just an hour away for those interested in history. Families looking for a calm stay near the coast may find this a good choice, though it is worth checking with the hotel before booking regarding current availability and any additional fees.
