Tangalle & South Coast

Anantara Tangalle

At Anantara Tangalle, nature rules; calm fishing boat-flocked coves carpet a stretch of coastline west of town and wild turtle-trampled beaches extend eastwards for miles.

Boasting a truly unique location, Anantara Peace Haven is the only resort in Tangalle to be nestled on a rocky outcrop, along a secluded stretch of Sri Lanka’s ruggedly beautiful southern coast. The resort is surrounded by a 22-acre coconut plantation, golden sandy crescent beach and turquoise ocean.

Epitomizing authentic luxury along Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort offers spectacular seclusion. You can just relax in beachfront privacy, or explore the island’s natural and cultural treasures.

Why do we love Anantara Tangalle?

We do love Anantara Resort because it is naturally exclusive and this secret hideaway offers a tranquil escape to get away from it all. For travellers with a sense of adventure, this resort is your gateway to the island’s plethora of sacred heritage sites, the colourful traditions of local life, and vast national parks of free-roaming wildlife.

750 sqm of resort land has been developed for a rice paddy field. Traditional planting and harvesting methods are used and the harvest donated to the local community and used for unique farm-to-plate dining experiences.

The resort’s collaboration with the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) helps protect and conserve globally threatened marine turtles.

What can I look forward to?
