Ambara Bay is a demo Northlight built so you can use a property website before you pay for one. Nothing you book here is real, sent or charged.

Ambara Bay · Rekawa, Sri Lanka
A luxury resort on the cliffs above the bay. 41 rooms, suites and villas, and the sea in every one of them.
On the south coast
Ambara means the sky. The resort sits on the last headland before Rekawa, where the turtles come ashore, with the bay on three sides and the horizon in front of every room. Colombo is about three hours behind you.
Northlight noteThe film starts only after the page has drawn, at the size the screen needs, and never on a phone saving data. The first screen is a photograph that loads at once; the film takes over when it is ready.
Dining
The day’s catch from the Rekawa boats, cooked over coconut husk.

Northlight noteEach Book button opens the booking engine with that room type already chosen, and every price is the lowest night it really sells for in the coming year, not a teaser.
Dining
The Rekawa boats come in at dawn; by evening their catch is on the grill. Crab from the lagoon, curries the way the south coast makes them, and a tasting menu that changes with the moon.
The spa
Six treatment pavilions in the trees above the bay, and a heat room cut into the rock of the headland. Coconut, cinnamon and warm oil, in the old ways of the island.
The bay
The resort’s own boat goes out to the reef at first light. In season, from November to April, it goes further: to the blue whales off Mirissa, with breakfast on board.
The bay at dusk
From the terrace the water turns gold, then blue, then dark, and the lanterns are lit along the jetty for dinner over the sea.
In the spotlight
The season’s offers and evenings: what is on, what is next, and what not to miss.
Stay offer
Book four nights or more in the green season and the fourth is on the house, with breakfast every morning.
Book: Stay four nights, pay for three

Book: Breakfast with the whales

A table on the sand, lanterns in a ring, and the chef cooking only for you.
Book: Dinner where the waves stopNorthlight noteOffers live on the home page because returning guests look for them first. On a real site the owner changes them from their phone, and the season’s dates in the booking engine change with them.
Getting here
A car meets every guest in arrivals at Colombo and drives the expressway south. From Mattala, the south’s own airport, it is about an hour.
