Restaurants
The Amanwella restaurant is situated eight meters above sea level and offers a panoramic view of the pool, coconut palms, and the beach. Spread across two levels, the restaurant transitions from a charming indoor garden with frangipani trees and reflecting ponds to an elevated outdoor terrace. The menu combines Asian and Mediterranean flavors, with a strong emphasis on fresh seafood from the Indian Ocean. Additionally, the terrace beside the pool serves simple lunches, fresh fruit juices, and young coconuts during the day, while in the evening, antipasti and homemade main courses are on the menu.
Enjoy a relaxed lunch or an exclusive private barbecue dinner at the Beach Club, where light dishes such as Asian salads, Mediterranean classics, and freshly prepared granita are served during the day. Seafood is cooked on a charcoal barbecue and served with crispy salads and local flavorings.
For a cozy end to the day, the Lounge Bar, next to the restaurant, is the perfect spot. Here, you will find an extensive selection of drinks. The bar is open from 10:00 AM until the last guest departs and comes to life especially at sunset. Enjoy this magical moment with an Arrack Sour, Amanwella’s signature cocktail, in hand.
