Tangalle

Tangalle is a picture-perfect paradise, and its distance from Colombo ensures that it will remain such. Because hotels and guesthouses have been erected further back from the beaches in this area, the Tangalle coastline is relatively unspoiled and flanked only by sweeping palm palms. Tangalle and the surrounding area's biggest disadvantage is that the water is too rough to swim in, so you should stay in a hotel with a fantastic swimming pool to cool off.

Tangalle is well-known for its beautiful beaches. Its extended drive time (6 hours or so from Colombo) keeps the hordes away. The Anantara Peace Haven Resort is located in Tangalle. On an island home to hundreds of exquisite and sophisticated hotels, this stunning hotel is a bit of paradise. It is a stay to remember, from the large trendy rooms to the stunning surroundings and excellent breakfast table.
