Swim-up Rooms & Private Pools in Tangalle

Beautiful villa with a private pool. Also had access to the public pool and beach area which were also lovely (technically public but very secluded). Food was very nice and the staff were very friendly and helpful - had a lovely stay!

The place is like a dream We took the room with the private pool, it was beautiful and private The massages were great U will get a private beach because it is so isolated The staff is amazing and the owner is a great person Already want to return to another vacation there

This hotel was just perfect. We had a room with private pool which made the stay even more special. Short stroll to the beach. Beautiful food and very calm relaxing atmosphere. Staff was excellent and the last night we were treated with a beautiful romantic dinner by the beach. Absolutely amazing.

Really lovely staff, super relaxing, the beach is technically public but we never saw anyone not from the hotel. Lovely massages and daily yoga class. The villa was spacious and had a lovely private pool. Highly recommend.

We had the Romantic villa with the private pool and it was incredibly peaceful. We had yoga in the morning and that was amazing. We wished to stay longer.

This is a lovely resort with a private beach. All the staff were very friendly and welcoming. The food was all delicious and lots of choice across the three restaurants. The pool villa room we had was amazing with our own private pool. It was really quiet and lovely to sit and relax. Our villa host Yohan was really friendly and helpful, we could WhatsApp him any requests and he would sort them very promptly, and he would pick us up in the electric tuk tuk to transport us around the resort. There is a lovely main pool area and you can access the hotel’s beach easily which has lovely views, although the sea was too rough to swim in. Nice complimentary activities like yoga. The spa is very nicely done with a relaxing atmosphere, although more expensive than other treatments at other Sri Lanka hotels. The resort is well designed and there is wildlife easily seen around the resort like peacocks and monkeys.

Me and my wife visited Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort for a much-needed break, and it truly exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, the warm welcome and peaceful surroundings instantly made us feel relaxed and taken care of. The location is absolutely stunning – nestled between coconut palms and the ocean, it feels like a hidden paradise. We stayed in a Garden pool villa, and it was absolutely perfect – spacious, private, and surrounded by lush greenery. Waking up to birdsong, enjoying coffee by our private pool, and feeling completely disconnected from the outside world was exactly what we needed.. The staff were amazing – friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. They made us feel special every step of the way. We also loved the food. Whether it was the breakfast buffet at Journeys, Italian at Il Mare, or authentic Asian cuisine at Verala, specially the authentic Thai dishes made by Chef Punn. Overall, Anantara Tangalle gave us everything we were looking for – peace, privacy, romance, and a real sense of luxury. It was the perfect place to reconnect, and we left feeling refreshed and full of beautiful memories. We’d recommend it to any couple looking for something truly special.

On the plus side : upgraded to a villa with plunge pool. Massive amount of space. Tastefully decorated. Huge bed. Shower was great - lots of hot water and pressure. Massive resort that needs transport to get around, very efficient with the transport service. Staff very polite. Fabulous views from the Italian restaurant - would recommend it for sundowners. On the negative side: massive resort that has no soul. No privacy within the villa at all- anyone can see in at any stage to almost all parts (with the exception of the toilet) of the villa while passing - requires blinds to be drawn which detracts from the experience. Not a great deal on offer for Sri Lankan food, got told that the Sri Lankan themed night was the night before. At the poolside they had one choice which was not vegetarian but discussion resulted in yes veg was possible. Took a seat made our order for vegetarian curry to be told no there was only beef curry available . Got that sorted. Dinner at the Japanese restaurant as it had a selection of Sri Lankan dishes (!!) - worst Kotthu in 3 weeks of travelling - waaay too salty. Could not eat it . Did not get charged for it . Did have a discussion with chef who tasted and agreed. Also in organizing onward transport - a ridiculous price Quoted for hotel transport. Did get an outside tuktuk eventually sorted at more reasonable money.

As soon as we entered the resort area we knew we did the right choice booking this resort. This is a new resort which has been opened two years ago. The ground and the landscaping were perfect. It’s directly on the beach and at the same time you can enjoy the wild life of Sri Lanka. Peacocks, squirrels, different kind of birds, plantation, rice fields, tree house... A group of singers started to sing welcoming us as soon as we entered the open lobby. Then a fresh coconut juice was served. The check in was quick and a personal employee accompanied each of us to the rooms. My room was an ocean view room #313...So beautifully designed and spacious. The bathroom is amazing and well designed. The breakfast was included with the room and you can enjoy a wide selection of food even Indian and Middle Eastern food. We tried all the restaurants at the hotel and the food was tasty. We also tried a set menu dinner with a show. There are 2 pools and a jacuzzi on the pool area. There are many villas with private pools too. A special thanks to Mr. Ravi for his hospitality...He took me for a hotel tour and offered a free boat ride...We planted a coconut tree at the hotel too. He was so friendly and helpful. For sure I will stay here next time I visit Tangalle. Thank you Anantara for making my 1st visit to Sri Lanka an unforgettable experience.

We could not be more thrilled with our experience at Anantara Peace Haven. The whole experience was flawless from before check-in to after check-out. FOOD: The breakfast was exceptional, with a huge range of options that were all delicious. COMFORT: The rooms are large and extremely comfortable. We had everything we needed. The view was beautiful and the bathroom clean and spacious. ACTIVITIES: The complimentary activities, including yoga, was very much appreciated. POOL/BEACH: Both pools are comfor1table and the nearby beach is excellent for a day relaxing - unfortunately, you cannot swim in this beach due to dangerous currents and waves, however, there are plenty of nearby beaches safe for swimming. CUSTOMER SERVICE: The professionalism and care of the staff is second to none. We had an exceptional experience delivered by all staff on site, including the housekeeping, check-in staff, restaurant service as well as pool/beach guards. We would like to give a very special mention to Yashani de Alwis who truly ent above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect stay. The personal concierge service is unique and was deeply appreciated. Overall, this place far exceeded our expectations.

A unique place, Fantastic, smiling and friendly staff, with whom you can easily contact. Pool was small but clean. The hotel itself in an ideal location - supposedly close to the beach (just across the road ) We tried pizza at the restaurant and it was the best pizza we had from a long time. A must try if you are in Tangalle. The room itself is sensational - a great terrace with a view, comfortable beds, fresh linen and towels and everything that will ensure a comfortable stay. There is a big balconyfor each room. - I recommend this place in Tangalle. We will definitely be back!

Lovely complex with a cute small pool. The place is very calming and silent, and by crossing the road you are at a lovely calm bay. The room went beyond our expectations. It a fridge, a boiler, good ac and ceiling fan. The bed was extra comfortable. The staff was just soo kind and friendly. The boy who speaks english has the most infectious smile!

Good location walking distance from Tangalle, and with a nice beach just in front of the hotel. We enjoyed the swimming pool even though we had some rainy days. Our host gave us advices on where to go and on our transports for our next steps. Good recommendation thank you

Huge spacious rooms with heaps of storage including a safe. The bed and pillows were so comfortable. Lovely big clean and fresh bathroom/shower. The pool was perfect with sun beds to loll on. Breakfast was beautiful and generous. The balconies offered a beautiful sea view and breezes.

Great staff, great pool, nice beach across the road, a few decent restaurants nearby

Great hotel a stones throw away from the beach, restaurants and bus station! We stayed in a non-pool room (which seemed to be the only one without a private pool) so we had the 'shared' pool to ourselves anyway. The rooms are clean and spacious and the bathroom is nice too.

The room was very clean and big! The private pool is perfect 😊 there’s also direct connection from the hotel to the beach. Check in and check out was smooth. Very kind staff. A little pricey as it doesn’t include breakfast, but definitely worth it for the pool!

We had apartment without private pool but the accommodation was still very good. Room was spacious, clean and with AC and mosquito net over bed. We used pool by the lobby and restaurant that was clean and big with spaces to comfortably sit. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Such a comfortable bed - maybe the comfiest one yet! Very friendly staff - unfortunately it rained the whole time we were here so we didn’t get use of the pool or go around much but I’d recommend to book a room with the private pool such good value for money. Short walk to the beach

The accommodation it's very nice, with a common pool, big rooms, outside shower, private pool. If you are searching for a luxurious place, this will satisfy your needs at a good price compared to other countries.

Service and accommodation were exceptional. We were upgraded to a beautiful villa with private pool. Walkable to beach and tons of activities including movie nights, happy hour, and delicious dinner at communal or private tables.

My second journey to Sri Lanka was now, March 2021, and I deliberately have chosen the UTMT as my second quarantine hotel. It was like three and half years ago: very pleasant, nice location, very good food, very good service and some amenities like a big, usable pool, afternoon tea and cakes/fruit, free phone calls, yoga lessons etc. The rooms are extremely interesting, with lots of detail, and with a small private pool. All together the premise is exceptional as are their prices; I could come more often if there wasn't the price ... I have to think twice ... what a pity.

This hotel provides a unique and exceptional Ayurvedic experience in a luxurious setting. Every detail is carefully considered to ensure a top-notch guest experience, from the warm airport welcome with fresh fruit to the nightly mosquito net setup and luxurious towels. The pool is stunning, and the spa is expertly managed. During our 8-night stay, I indulged in Ayurvedic treatments while my husband enjoyed his own activities. He appreciated the delicious food and coffee options. I had daily consultations with the doctor and relaxing massages, which left me feeling rejuvenated, healthy, and clear-minded. I am grateful to the dedicated staff at this outstanding resort for making our stay unforgettable.

We stayed for th three days and we wish we had stayed longer. This is a lovely resort style hotel on the beach, private swimming pools, and excellent restaurant and high quality ayeravedic spa and treatments. The rooms were spacious, the fittings fun and charming. Lots of coll additional service such as an inhouse tailor, free yoga and mediation lessons, and afternoon tea. he private hotel beach is clean and well guarded. The staff were excellent and we enjoyed everything about this stay. T

Design of rooms, SPA and pool is stylish and tasteful, but - above all - the friendliness and helpfulness of the entire staff must be mentioned; they made our stay unforgettable: Sachi from restaurant, Chalani from reception, the Chef with the wonderful Ayurvedic dishes & the SPA team

This place is an absolute paradise. We stayed at Kurumba House right on the beach with heaps of privacy, a private pool, and incredible service. We were looked after with such care by Donald and the Taru team. The food is incredible too!! Highly recommend doing a cooking class.

the property is beautiful. We had the room with plunge pool which I would strongly recommend as being the better of the rooms.

Great choice of breakfast and excellent service meals served on the terrace outside our villa . Perfect location overlooking the beach , quiet , clean spacious with our own private plunge pool . Wonderful staff !

A clean, beautiful house with a swimming pool. It is a pity that the pool can be used by all residents of the hotel, sometimes it was uncomfortable. The staff is very kind and helpful. The food in the restaurant is delicious.

The location was lovely with immediate access to the beach with colourful fishing boats . Lovely verandah and pool with chaise longues to sit facing the ocean. Nice verandah off our room also overlooking the pool and beach.

I booked this place at short notice in between stays arranged by my travel agent, but would have made it our base for 3 days in Tangalle area, if I had known about it earlier. It is a beautifully furnished former private home, a true boutique hotel. Everything was of the best. There is a large pool, with a shallow area for young children. It is set in extensive gardens, growing mainly cinnamon, coconut and pepper; the garden makes a pleasant walk, with the opportunity to admire many peacocks. The lunch we were served on arrival, the dinner and breakfast were all outstanding, well prepared and presented, generous and very reasonably priced. Beds are comfortable with bedside tables and reading lights. There are a number of outdoor areas to sit. Prabath and his colleagues were very attentive to our comfort and he was able to tell us the history of the house. I had an excellent massage from a therapist who is on call; I understand that the hotel is building an Ayurvedic centre on the grounds, and there is already a separate cabana which has been used for yoga sessions. It would be an excellent place for either a romantic escape or a yoga/spa/ meditation retreat. Highly recommended and full marks to Prabath’s management.

Quiet and tranquil with beautiful grounds and pool. Only six rooms and the staff were unbelievably attentive

We were fortunate to have the whole place to ourselves. The room we had was the largest we had in our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and it was lovely to unwind in the living area and have dinner around the big dining table. It’s a great place to relax as Tangalle is about 13km away but we got the local bus into Tangalle to visit the beach. Prabath and his team really work hard to make your stay enjoyable. The gardens and swimming pool are an oasis and a lovely place to chill out.

Lovely villa with beautiful bedrooms which we were lucky enough to have all to ourselves. Beautiful pool with good sun loungers and parasols. Attractive, well kept grounds. Not a touristy area, so not many options for eating out but the breakfast was large & delicious so kept you going until dinner when the chef prepared a wonderful evening meal. Prabath the Manager was lovely and very efficient.

The villa and surrounding grounds were lovely. There is a beautiful organic garden with paths to walk and lots of fruit trees. Every morning we were served fresh fruit juice with wonderful Sri Lankan or Western breakfast. We also ate dinner here almost every night with several different options that changed daily. The food was always delicious and the service from all the staff was excellent and attentive without being intrusive. The staff looked after booking us taxis and anything else we asked for. The suite we had was massive and had plenty of room with a lot of windows and doors that opened up into the beautiful gardens. We liked it so much we have booked another stay with them again. Thank you Prabath and the team for an amazing stay!

Truly heavenly. The location, the villa and the staff made our stay just perfect. The beach is pristine and set in a beautiful cove. It’s so peaceful with the perfect combination of sea, beach and mangroves. Really beautiful. We stayed in the Kurumba House and honestly I cannot compliment the staff enough. A particular call out to Donald who looked after us and made sure we wanted for nothing. Our privacy was respected and Donald shared his WhatsApp number so we could message when we wanted something. He made sure the villa was always perfect for us and when we wanted time on the beach that we were also looked after. All of the staff have a wonderful nature and were so welcoming. The main villa is beautiful and from what we could see all of the rooms were really lovely. They work on small number of rooms with lots of different living spaces so it feels boutique. Kurumba house was stunning. We loved the outdoor veranda and the private pool, which was a sublime temperature. Whilst we were at the beach for sunset, the house lights were put on and lots of candles made it a lovely welcome back. Meal times are always flexible around your time table so didn’t feel rushed to a schedule and we ate at the House with Donald looking after us and making sure whilst we ate, our bedroom got the turn down service. We were really sorry to leave. Thanks to all of the team. It was wonderful

Beautiful villa with comfortable rooms and an amazing bathroom! Direct beach access at a swimmable beach and lovely pool too. Breakfasts were tasty, we didn’t eat other meals at the property. One thing to note is food and beverage pricing isn’t all inclusive , taxes and service fees are added on top. staff were super friendly and couldn’t help enough.

To say this place is spectacular is an understatement. We booked for 2 days and extended for 2 more as we simply fell in love with it straight away. The property sits on a gorgeous quiet beach with blue water, rolling waves and lovely soft sand - you cannot believe that it feels like your own beach! Our room/s are decorated beautifully we no details spared - your privacy is guaranteed with only 8 rooms and discreetly partitioned if you want you own space. Meals are served on your own balcony whenever you need. The icing on the cake at Taru is the exceptional service - always generous, helpful and relaxed. We have been totally spoilt rotten for 4 days. Thank you so much to Mal, Rupa, Sanjeeva and the team for looking after us so well. We will be certain to return soon. If you are in the area and considering Taru - spoil yourself for a few days - you wont regret it!

My wife and I had an amazing stay for our honeymoon. The location is so peaceful, with the beach behind the hotel being so beautiful. The food prepared at the hotel was simply stunning! We had a daily set menu with choices, and the menu was great, food portions were generous and tasted amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. The only slight negative about this place is the wifi is very temperamental (not always a bad thing). It can feel a little sleepy through the day, but if you’re looking for undisturbed peacefulness, this place is perfect!

We had a fantastic stay at this property, it was very intimate and had a boutique feel. The beach was very quiet with very little people. Staff was great all around.

The villa is spectacular and although we did not meet the hosts they were very responsive to messages. The villa is big, comfortable, good shower and lovely swimming pool. Importantly, it is in an ideal location, the beach just 150 meters and about the same for a variety of shops. We are a couple but this would be an ideal place for a family as I'm sure children would happily spend all day in the pool (and then sleep very well at night 😉).

Charming villa with elegant decor and all the amenities needed. Convenient location for everything. Beaches, restaurants, supermarkets are within 5-10 minutes ride. The owner, Mr. Tharuka was very much responsive and helpful when we had a few issues with the kitchen. Nice clean pool was the highlight. The privacy issue of the pool and the garden has been fixed.

We were the first guests to stay at Thaprobana villa and we had a lovely time. We arrived very late due to an emergency but the owners were very accommodating and welcomed us with smiling faces even at 11 PM. The villa is newly built and has a simple yet elegant design. There's ample parking space outside and the villa is very private. The owners live close by and drop by in the morning to clean the villa. We didn't have any meals here but there's a small kitchen if you need to cook anything. As it was off-season, there weren't many restaurants open nearby but this wasn't an issue for us. The bathrooms are beautifully designed with a rain shower and the rooms are spacious. The pool is the best feature of the villa and we loved cooling off during the hot afternoon sun. The beach close to the villa is beautiful, however, it isn't suitable for swimming. There is a protected area for swimming close to the harbour (about a 10-minute walk), although it can get quite crowded on weekends.

Our stay at this villa was absolutely exceptional! The place is stunning – spacious, beautifully decorated, with a breathtaking view and a wonderful pool that was perfect for relaxing. The villa is well-equipped, spotless, and very well-maintained. The biggest highlight was the host – incredibly kind, helpful, welcoming, and attentive. Thanks to him, we truly felt at home. This place exceeded our expectations in every way. We would love to come back again! Highly recommended!

Absolutely fantastic. Great place to just chill by the pool, you can even barbecue on the grill! It is very close from the beach and from the shops, yet it is really calm place. The owner is very helpful and kind. You will definitely have a feeling of living in a luxury villa which is really affordable and not overpriced! I can definitely recommend the this place.

This resort is situated off the beaten track. It was just what we were looking for. The manager was friendly and did every to make our stay there enjoyable. Like any guest house or resort if you go when there are fewer guests please remember to order your food for the evening at breakfast before the chef goes to market.

Bungalovit jo parhaat päivänsä nähnyt, syrjäinen sijainti, rauhallinen paikka. Rannassa voimakas aallokko, Tangalle beachille 18 km.

The property is wonderful with a great facilities!!! The villa was very clean, sofa bed was ready and the bed was very comfortable. AC or fan is in the rooms which is I founded very convenient. Beach towels are provided, so you don’t have to take from home. Bathroom is very clean, plenty of branded toiletries (smells amazing). I was missing a shower cap only (if you don’t want to get your hair wet under the shower, as sometimes you have to take few during the day). Towels are fresh and soft, feels like in the Spa. Pool area is spectacular!!! Most of the time we had it to ourselves. Restaurant is very cosy and inviting. Our breakfast was included in the price. The food was delicious. I would say that 4 pieces of toast for 3 people is not enough. I would recommend to have at least 2 toast per person and would be great to have a glass of fresh juice too. We have used restaurant for dinner and a lunch; good choice of meals (western) and few local options available. The staff is helpful and trying to accommodate every need. I would highly recommend this villa to my friends!!! The views are pictures!!!

We had an amazing time in Mandala Villas. The villa was spacious and very tastefull decorated. The service was superb. Even though the hotels location is quite remote, it is very easy to go to Tangalle or Rakawa. We highly recommend this place!

A very nice guest house in Tangalle. The location is superb, maybe 1 minute away from the beach and all its restaurants. The best thing was the large and clean swimming pool, which was fantastic for our kids and the garden with the pool is just gorgeous. The staff was also very friendly and accomodating. There is a lagoon in the back of the property and they have kayaks you can rent free of charge which was a nice experience. The room was large, with a small kitchen area and comfy bed with a mosquito net. No AC, just a fan.

The garden is very nice and the pool is beautifull. Very close to the beach (3 min walking), you can hear the waves from the pool. Very kind staff, they arranged us a safari to Udawalawe (a bit too expressive but everything was planned for us). The free kayak is a nice bonus and a very nice activity to do. Rooms are clean and big. Very near to lots of restaurants on the sea side.

beautiful! felt like a top resort. everyone was kind and gracious, everything was nice and clean, the pool was gorgeous. my room and bathroom were lovely and I loved having the balcony overlooking the pool. lots of great restaurants (try Kokomos and Ananas!) just a short walk away on the beach. the Sri Lankan breakfasts here at the resort were amazing and plentiful!!

This place is gorgeous! It’s tucked down a little track and opens out into lush gardens, backing onto the lagoon and a brilliant pool. It’s very quiet and relaxing and loads of animal and bird life too- we saw giant squirrels (and the cute little ones), monkeys, peacocks, monitor lizards and mongoose! The rooms are basic but clean and spacious and good aircon. A nice balcony to sit outside with a drink and play cards. The pool is the best feature, never too busy, slightly shaded in the heat and deep and cool. And lovely friendly staff too. Location is excellent, close to everything but also private.

The Hidden Garden is an oasis of calm. We were told it was a few minutes from the beach by going down a garden path and it really is. In the extensive hotel grounds you could not hear any noise from the beach bars and restaurants that dot the coast. The rooms were spotlessly clean and depending on the room you booked, had all amenities. The view from our veranda was really beautiful. The pool is fab. The staff were really friendly. They also do laundry and you can borrow a kayak to go around the lagoon that backs onto the Hotel. We saw a massive monitor lizard which was exciting! Tip-the address on booking .com is accurate for car travel. The address on Google only for on foot. I suggest you ring the Hotel to co-ordinate with your driver if you are coming by car. It is one of those places that is easy once you know!

Swimming pool Access to the sea Possibility to have lunch/diner Large terrace for every room

The pool was beautiful, the beach location was stunning. The room was beautiful, clean, lovely lighting and well decorated. The bed had flowers on it. There was a beautiful sitting area on the private balcony. The staff were attentive and organised. Great food and cocktails around the pool.

I realized that this hotel will be great after I received very pleasant and warm messages in confirmation of my booking, with advice on accommodation, contact numbers of managers, and some recommendations . Hotel just perfect , in everything: territory, swimming pool , lobby , the style and design . The room is so lite and cozy, many cute nice details in interior - everything in hotel , every part made with love and good taste. The beach is wonderful, sun beds and tables for lunch are comfortable located. Food is tasty , breakfast delicious and you can choose different variants of it. On territory of hotel have nice special place for massage, you can choose and Oder - massage very good one. I want also to highlight work of all staff in hotel , they really doing them job very good . Especially Mr. Thushara, he was a very attentive, polite , mannerle, he immediately responded to all my requests and sometimes even anticipated them) , I appreciate for care , thanks a lot it makes my holiday really relax full and amazing. I want to say thanks and big respect to owner of this hotel - she created really unique place. Paradise - it is exactly how can say about this place in one word. Keep going like this guys. Take care people who is working there - because team is really important . I am highly recommend this place . And if will back to Sri - Lanka , will choose only this wonderful place - Golden Beach Paradise Hotel ❤️

Wow. What Can I say! We had the most wonderful stay at the Golden Beach Paradise. Everything was 10/10. Mila was such a lovely host and constantly on hand to check on her guests. Her supporting staff were wonderful too, they were so kind and helpful. The food was superb, so fresh, varied and delicious. The room was perfect, spacious and clean and the whole layout of the hotel was exceptional - amazing swimming pool right on top of the most beautiful peaceful beach. You will not regret staying here and we can’t wait to come back with more of our family later this year. Thank you - you made our trip to Sri Lanka even more special! P.S the massage was incredible too!

An exeptional place on Sri Lanka's map. The small hotel hidden between palms and a beautiful beach. It is quiet, natural. We felt like in a paradise. Very long, amazing and empty beach. The swimming pool is clean, big and deep enough to swim. It has a sea view. The restaurant chief prepares very tasty and nicely given meals. Menu is diversified enough to choose a child, international/europe meal. Rooms as well as the whole hotel are very clean. Hot water in the shower. Many options for bike/walking/tuk tuk trips. We loved the atmosphere created by it's lovely employees which were very kind and caring. Thank you All for this outstanding time!

Large and comfortable room with perfect AC, everything including the bathroom was super clean. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful, even waited for us with breakfast when we had morning surf lesson. The breakfast was the most generous one in whole Sri Lanka, there were classic western eggs with toast, jam and fruit (mango, banana, pineapple, maracuja, watermelon) but also traditional srilankan food (curry with hoppers and some bread, delicious rotti with coconut). We had really full bellies everyday. They also served fresh coconut water from King coconut which is full of electrolytes and super healthy. The beach was approx 8 min walk. Accomodation is surrounded by nice restaurants. And the wifi was working 100%, every guest is given unique access code, so if you need to work on your pc during holiday, wifi in this place really works! Thank you for very nice stay!

House on the Bend is the perfect combination between a hotel and a guesthouse: It has all the comfort and privacy of a hotel, as well as the family feel and kindness of a guesthouse. Sisira was attentive to our every need and Gayangi cooked us great gluten-free breakfasts every day. We were initially going to stay for two nights but ended up extending to four because we loved the place: the rooms are super comfortable and you really have everything you need, even a lovely balcony with a table and chairs. The location is perfect as it is a five-minute walk to the beach, and close to so many restaurants for dinner. Thank you so much for everything!

We loved staying here. This small hotel is well built and nicely furnished, very comfortable, extremely clean and well maintained, and a 5 minute walk to Hiri beach. The hotel manager and his staff are great to be with; friendly, kind, and helpful. Our breakfasts were generous, and our room was large with quality towels and bedding. The bonus was a kitchen (one on each floor) for us to make coffee early in the morning.

It was my birthday, so we moved from a hostel to this hotel and it was just the best decision I could have made. The rooms were gorgeous, great size, comfy beds, AC! and lovely bathrooms too! The staff were magnificent and looked after us so well that we ended up staying for 4 nights instead of 2! Highly recommend and the breakfast was delicious and so much food!

From the service, to the room, the hotel itself and the location, everything was PERFECT. Also the breakfast was incredible, from eggs, to Sri Lankan pancakes, fruits... everything the heart desires!The owner of the hotel is one of the sweetest and most hospitable people we have met in Sri Lanka. We will come back and would recommend this place to anyone who knows what's good for them :)

After visiting Colombo, Kandy, and Galle, we headed down to the ocean in the south, and the place where we stayed the longest was this one. We stayed eight nights and were sad to leave because the accommodation was absolutely phenomenal! 🤩 It was set in nature, exotic yet safe, and equipped with all necessary amenities, including air conditioning and always warm water. We even had our own place in front of the cottage where we relaxed every day, drinking tea and enjoying delicious pancakes. As for the hosts, they were the kindest people we could have encountered! 💙 Since there was a family restaurant, this wonderful woman prepared a new specialty for us every day, and each one seemed even better than the last. We never received such large and high-quality portions during our stay in Sri Lanka. All in all, for those who want to experience the charms of nature and the true spirit of Sri Lanka, to relax their body and soul, and recharge with positive energy, I highly recommend this accommodation. I hope we can return next year! 🏝️🌍

I really enjoyed our stay here and totally recommend it! The cabanas are located in a quiet area along Tangalle beach, less than 5 minutes from this beautiful beach which is mostly deserted. You can still find a couple of nice bars on the beach, providing also free sunbeds with drink consumption. There are a few restaurants around that you can reach by foot. The best part of the cabana is for sure the outside area: there are comfy chairs and an amazing hammock, where you can enjoy the garden and the fresh air in the evening. I stayed 2 nigts in the small cabana and 1 night in the big one. The big one is definitely bigger, with a much more comfortable bed and newer bathroom and less warm, so if you are looking for comfort I recommend you to book that! The dinner was also delicious and with big portions.

Chananda and his lovely family made us feel so welcome. The cabanas are clean, a good size and have everything you need including a choice of hot and cold showers. You must eat in the restaurant. The food is exceptional, generous portions and very well priced. The gardens are beautiful and filled with trees, plants and flowers. We rented a moped at a very good price and it was in very good condition. One of his sons has a car business and he can drive you anywhere😃 I highly recommend Star Light Cabanas😍

Exceptional Cabanas and exceptional restaurant. We only stayed one night but it was extraordinary. The Cabanas are very spacios with a huge bed. Hyper comfortable. We also had the most powerful shower in Sri Lanka. On your terrasse are beach chairs and a hammock. All in all perfect. At night the gates are closed so that it is very safe as well. To top it all, we had a very good dinner there. Try the prawns and the Kottu -delicious and good value. I would not think twice of staying there again.

We had a great time at star light cabanas. We actually planned to stay two nights but then extended for one more night. The owner and his family is so friendly, he was trying to help us whenever we had questions and we felt so welcome. Sometimes you can watch monkeys from the garden. The way to the wonderful and mostly lonely beach is not to far and we loved having a calm time at this place. Thank you for the great time. We really appreciate your accommodation.

When you want to stay around Tangalle to visit the beautiful Goyambokka beach (8 min walk) and Silent beach (15 min walk) this Villa is situated in the best location! It can get really hot and humid in Tangalle, but since the Villa Lucky Star is situated on top of a rock the wind is always blowing and this makes staying here very comfortable. No problems with flies and mosquitos as a bonus. The rooms of the villa are classic and of good size. The room was cleaned daily. The bed was super comfy with a good working ceiling fan and light musquito net. It is great falling asleep and waking up with the sound of breaking waves. The saltwater pool was big and had a nice temperature. The pool was in great condition and cleaned every day. Next to the pool is a little grass area with some hammocks and sun beds overlooking the Indian Ocean.

We stayed at Villa Lucky Star for just two night and we would have stayed longer if we could have. To find this hidden gem (no indication/sign outside), just trust google maps or follow the direction/description of Lisa, the general manager. Also Ursula, the owner, is such a lovely person. There are two most beautiful beaches (Silent Beach and Goyambokka Beach) in walking distance from the villa. You get beach towels from the villa. On the beaches sun beds were offered for free if you buy a drink or eat something. On Goyambokka beach we especially liked the Yellow Mellow bar. Beside the mentioned beaches you can also enjoy the villa’s fantastic garden with sun beds facing the ocean and the pool. You also should have dinner at least once at the villa. Thisara, the cook, offers every night two options of dishes, that have been always very yummy. To mention last but not least, is the breakfast in one of the villa’s Cabanas - just amazing (the breakfast and the view). Our room was very clean, lovely decorated with a super-nice balcony with seating area and sea view. So, if you want to visit Tangalle, don’t hesitate to stay at Villa Lucky Star. We will definitely come back.

The place was stunningly beautiful. It is perched atop a bluff overlooking the ocean. The rooms balcony gave us privacy with a perfect view of the sunrise. The bed was comfortable and even though it is hot out we felt the fan gave us plenty of breeze to sleep comfortably. Lisa, the manager and her entire staff were kind and accommodating. The saltwater pool was so relaxing with the perfect temperature of water. The hammocks and lounge chairs were comfortable. The food was delicious, although not as spicy as most Sri Lankan food. Even the morning coffee was plentiful and delicious. There are two beaches within walking distance. One is very close and the other a bit farther. Even with rough waves we were able to swim at one. And all of this with the sounds of the ocean breaking on the rocks.

What a fantastic stay we had! Our room was spacious and cleaned quickly and efficiently each morning. The breakfast outside in the cabana with the wind blowing was superb! Our room had an outdoor daybed, hammock, bathtub, shower, toilet, table etc and we used it all each day. We also asked if we could rent a scooter and they had it brought to the villa for a very fair price. The grounds and pool all were just wonderful. The location is perfect nestled between two fantastic beaches that are just a few minutes walk away. Lisa who manages the villa is extremely personable and helpful and the other staff were very pleasant as well. I had a fever one night and Lisa brought me tea and checked my wellbeing a few times. All around great stay! I’d highly recommend Lucky Star!

We spent four relaxing days at Villa Lucky Star. The resort is peaceful and well kept. We had a beautiful room on the first floor with a large balcony overlooking the lush garden, the salt water pool and ocean. The room was cleaned daily. Although there were other guests we felt like we had the place to ourselves. Loved breakfast which was just perfect, fresh fruit, egg, toast, jams and coffee. All the staff are very attentive and they served us an earlier breakfast on our last day as we had to leave early. From the garden it's a 10 min walk to Silent beach. This is a really cool walk on the rocks looking at the waves splashing over. Otherwise you can walk the other direction to Goyambokka beach. Great value for money!

A lovely clean large room. The location as it was out of town. The hotel also has a gorgeous beach across the road from it. Which felt like our own private beach as there was only 4 other people on it. It was great for swimming. We went exploring the rock-pools which had the most amazing array of fish, crabs, starfish & loads of sea urchins. I totally connected with the inner child in me.

I had a beautiful room with balcony and direct ocean view. It was so nice to wake up every morning and immediately seeing the ocean :). The room was very big and comfortable. I soon figured out that the location is excellent since there is a beautiful beach just in front of the hotel that you almost have for yourself, and a even more beautiful beach (Red beach) just a 10 min walk away. When I told the owner that I prefer the Sri Lankan breakfast over Western food they even prepared it for me one day.

The room was great, so was their customer service. Everything was clean and as communicated. Location is right on the main road so it's convenient. Breakfast was great, toast and eggs with a big pot of coffee and juice. Very accommodating staff. Their restaurant is downstairs so can order your meals as well. Highly recommended and I will definitely book again.

This is not a motel, this is awesome Hotel! So nice rooms and fresh, clean bedlinen! I had 2 balcones and a nice sea view!! The staff is so helpfull, they really care of you! To the beach 2 minutes walking. In the evening i saw a turtle came to the beach and put her eggs to the sand!

The owner of the hotel Is a very welcome person. He's very funny and trying to help you any time. The staff Is very kind and the room Is very big, clean and It has AC. Shower and hot water are working well and the breakfast in front of the Sea Is a must.
