Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa
Where island tradition meets laid-back vibes by the Indian Ocean
Nestled on the island’s east coast, alongside an endless stretch of picturesque ivory shores and clear, shallow waters, Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa is unique among Pasikuda hotels; built in the charming style of the ‘wadiya’ or Sri Lankan fishing village, enter, and feel time trickle to a standstill as you unwind in soothing serenity by the lapping waves. Breathe in the fresh, ocean air as you immerse yourself in the ancient heritage of the island’s fishing folk, amidst a secluded paradise of sun-kissed, barefoot luxury.

Embrace the sun and sand at the refreshingly unique Maalu Maalu Resort and Spa. Located on the beautiful Pasikuda Bay on the East Coast of the island, our resort is designed to take you to the authentic and rustic world of Sri Lankan fishing culture. Your dwellings at Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa are designed with wood-clad cabanas with thatched slanted rooves and upcycled fishing boats creating an experiential environment resembling a traditional Sri Lankan “wadiya”.

Feel the wind in your hair as you enjoy a boat ride along the lagoon or sign up for motorised water sports and race across the foamy waves on a jet ski or banana boat.

Put on your snorkelling mask and fins as you explore the mesmerising beauty of the marine life and coral reefs off the shores of Pasikuda and Kayankerni. Head out on a crab and prawn fishing excursion in the tropical waters or clink champagne flutes as you toast to your good health aboard a catamaran cruise during the romantic sunset hours.

Understand the significance of preserving the east coast ecosystem during a trip to our coral museum as you delve into the customs and heritage of life in Pasikuda. Enjoy a laidback bicycle or tuk-tuk tour of a traditional fishing village and a visit to a Hindu Temple during your stay with us. The choice is yours.
