Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa lies secluded on a pristine stretch of beach fronting the turquoise waters of Pasekudah Bay on the East Coast. Pasekudah is located between Trincomalee in the North East and Arugam Bay in the South East and can be easily accessed via Polonnaruwa in the Cultural Triangle. The journey from Polonnaruwa will take up to 1.5 hours. Be warned, a drive north from Arugam Bay remains a tiring six hours.
Introduction
Opened in June 2011, this idyllic beach escape became the first to open in Batticaloa after the dawning of peace in Sri Lanka. It has a laid-back feel and is recommended for families or even for couples on a romantic honeymoon.

'Maalu Maalu' (meaning ‘fish fish’) is a cry regularly heard from the local fisherman when selling their day’s catch. `Maalu’ is also very much a part of the interior décor and the design of this wonderful beach resort which is bringing much-needed employment to a community hoping for a better future.

The resort is designed along the lines of a 'wadiya' or fishing village with the public spaces and accommodation in the form of eco-friendly timber chalets with thatched roofs. It is designed in a semi-circle facing the sea which allows for spectacular views of the Indian Ocean from every angle. An infinity pool is the central focus with a broad timber deck where hours can be sent taking in the sun. Maalu Maalu maintains a strict eco-friendly policy and is designed according to the green building guidelines on energy and environment. The resort welcomes families with children and offers chalets and suites with connecting doorways. Maalu Maalu Resort and Spa is for those wishing for an unhurried and relaxing beach holiday on a beautiful and secluded region of this tropical island.

The high sloping roofs makes the rooms bright and airy. Interiors are furnished with double or twin beds dressed in crisp white linen. The 'Maalu' or fish theme is carried throughout in the soft furnishings. Rooms are equipped with a/c, overhead fan, LCD TV with satellite channels, tea/coffee facility, mini-bar and safe. Ensuite bathrooms are contemporary in design with polished cement walls and flooring, h/w rain head showers, twin vanities and w/c.

Deluxe Chalets: These are two storey chalets each with one double room on the ground floor opening out to a private terrace and a double room on the upper floor opening out to a balcony. The upstairs bedroom has a separate entrance. Of the 24 Deluxe Chalets, eight have interconnecting doors suitable for families.

Deluxe Chalets with Attic: There are eight chalets that have a double bedroom on the ground floor and an attic room furnished with twin beds that are accessed via a set of steep steps. These chalets are ideal for families with older children or friends travelling together.

Additional facilities for the suites include a steam room shared by the cluster, private therapy beds on request, Jacuzzi, exclusive private dining deck, and 24 hour butler service.

En route stop at a colourful Hindu Kovil or the village fair and learn of the fruit, vegetables and fresh seafood found in this area. Take a canoe ride along the lagoon and mangroves where numerous species of birds can be spotted. Discover the ruins of Polonnaruwa - a World Heritage Site in the Cultural Triangle which is just one and a half hours from Pasekudah.
