Travelling along the Eastern coast of Sri Lanka, visitors will be taken aback at the sheer beauty of these sun kissed and virtually untouched stretches of blue ruffled with white coastlines. Close upon the main town of Batticaloa, almost 30 minutes from the city, visitors find themselves gazing out at a vast stretch of clear blue green water. This unmarred coastline, boasting of shallow waters for many kilometres, is Pasikuda. The beauty of this beachfront is that the water stretches out for miles on end at a relatively shallow level, enabling swimmers and sea bathers to venture quite far from the shore and still have the water reach only their waist. The current too is quite weak in comparison to other beaches along Sri Lanka's shores. The name 'Pasikuda' is derived from the Tamil name for the area, and means 'Green Algae Beach'. Due to various reasons, the Eastern coast was hitherto relatively untouched and unvisited. With the current development drive being carried out in full force along this coast however, many hotels, resorts and other tourism oriented accommodation options and facilities are rapidly on the increase. With the shallow coastline come the manifold benefits of safe swimming all year around, as well as snorkelling. The Sri Lanka Navy patrol the beaches and have contributed greatly in maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the Pasikuda beach. Additionally visitors also have the facilities of fresh water and covered changing rooms and wash rooms. A visit to Pasikuda will leave you wanting to never leave the cool comforts of the beach and will ensure that you keep returning whenever you can. Maalu Maalu Resort & Spa was one of the first of its kind both at the Pasikuda Beach. This beach resort in Sri Lanka offers visitors a luxurious experience centred around the lifestyle of those living in and around the Pasikuda Beach area. The thatched fisherman hut roofs of this Sri Lanka resort give the distant impression of a tidy line of fisher cottages and fishing village and provide a unique setting by the sea. On close inspection, the resort certainly lives up to its reputation of unparalleled beauty, elegance, luxury and fine living.
