Location

Tangalle, Sri Lanka

Best time to go

Sri Lanka has generally good weather year round but does have two monsoon seasons in two different regions. From late May to late September, the southwest lowlands and central hills are affected and from November to February, the northeast side of the island is affected. March to mid-April is generally dry throughout the country as is June to September though it is hot.

Our thoughts

This resort sits between the coconut groves and the sea in a reclusive location making it ideal for guests seeking peace and quiet. The Rekawa Turtle Conservation Centre is a 10 kilometre drive away where guests can observe majestic sea turtles and between December and April comes the opportunity for whale watching off the coast. The sea may be too rough for swimming but surfing and snorkelling, as well as fishing, can be arranged nearby.


  • Plunge pool at each suite
  • Open plan bathroom with free-standing bathtub
