Dear Postcard Travellers,
Welcome to Abode Ahangama, a short hop from the palm-fringed bays of southern Sri Lanka. This socially responsible boutique hotel is a home away from home for style-savvy travellers with a conscience.
Soak up the vintage beach vibe as soon as you arrive. Take a dip in the outdoor pool surrounded by frangipanis and palms. Indulge in an Ayurvedic massage at the spa, catch a wave with a surf lesson or hop on a tuk-tuk and hang out at Ahangama’s hip new restaurants, bars and cafes.
Here, it's not just about activities; it's about unwinding and forging connections — with yourself and the vibrant community around you.
Happy travels!
