Amanwella

This is one of the most beautiful beach locations in the world. As Ceylon it became independent in 1948; its name was changed in 1972. It was not peaceful in October with powerfull waves operating all day and night but combined with an empty crescent beach, palm groves, view of simple amanvillas on the hill and their tile roofs and local villagers chatting by the boats the Amanwellas location exceedes expectations and leaves a long lasting impression of a perfect place to which one would like to return every year. Tensions between the Sinhalese majority and Tamil separatists erupted in violence in the mid-1980s.
