UTMT UNDERNEATH THE MANGO TREE BEACH & SPA HOTEL
PART OF CRAZY HOLLMANN COLLECTION
DIKWELLA SOUTH | SRI LANKA
7,504 kilometres from the Hollmann Beletage in Vienna, Robert Hollmann created a unique refuge in Dickwella South. In an elevated palm grove surrounded by 273 coconut trees, it was the many mango trees which were the namesake for the UTMT – Underneath the Mango Tree – Beach and Spa Resort. The most southern beach hotel in Sri Lanka is an unconventional interpretation of Sinhalese architecture and combines modern design with customary structure and materials. Those seeking calm can expect 13 rooms, and 9 villas – lavish, unique and above all luxurious. UTMT’s restaurant seduces you with its unbelievable view of the Indian Ocean and sweeps you away into the mysterious world of Sinhalese cuisine.
Along with a 25-metres pool, the Ayurveda Spa offers professional guidance, in combining yoga and meditation with Ayurvedic teachings. Also ask for ayurveda panchakarma cures and yoga retreat weeks. The 200-metres long private beach dotted with coconut trees and mango groves ensures pure seclusion. The 65 sqm Ocean View Villa is an ideal haven for those seeking rest and relaxation. The private pool with garden and terrace offers pure rejuvenation and the living room with kitchen and eating area as well the separate sleeping quarters with luxurious bathroom grant plenty of space to relax.
