Maalu Maalu Resort, Pasikuda
Introduction
Maalu Maalu Resort is a laid back beach getaway fronting the pristine beaches of Pasikuda Bay on Sri Lanka’s East Coast. Situated on a coconut grove, the resort is designed along the lines of a `Wadiya,’ or a local fishing village with charming wood-clad cabanas that opens out to the broad sandy beaches and the Indian Ocean beyond. The resort offers luxurious holidays that blends comfort with eco-conservation and sustainability. Rise to the pink skies of the Eastern sunrise and watch as the local fisherman bring in their night’s catch. Let the day unfold according to your pace and enjoy a true experience of barefoot living by the sea. Families with children are welcome.
