Why stay here

It suits groups and families who want a whole house by an unspoilt beach, with a pool and home cooked food. Tangalle beach in front is long and quiet, and the market and lagoon are an easy walk away.

Planning your stay

Tangalle is on the deep south coast, about three hours from Colombo by expressway. Its beaches are quieter than those further west, and the best season is from about November to April. Some beaches here shelve steeply and have strong currents, so check with locals before swimming.

Things to do nearby

Swim at Tangalle beach, see birds at Kalametiya, watch turtles nesting at Rekawa, visit the cave temple of Mulkirigala, or go whale watching in Mirissa, or walk the ramparts of Galle Fort. The Tangalle market and lagoon are within walking distance.
