"Surrounded by coconut trees and fringed by golden sands, Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort is a heavenly escape with a host of leisure and cultural activities nearby."

Secluded on a former plantation on Sri Lanka’s southern coastline, Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort is surrounded by coconut trees and fringed by golden sands. Enjoy the sense of peace and the natural beauty of the region where a host of leisure options in the form of cultural activities and marine adventures are nearby.

There is so much to do here that you could stay for a week or more and not feel the need to leave the heavenly premises. Chill out by the beautiful swimming pool or dabble in a host of water sports – including learning to surf in the resort’s lagoon – a workout in itself. Join a guided walk led by a nature guru, explore the local area with the resort’s bikes, or enlist a tennis coach to help you improve your swing. Wake up and hit the beach for a sunrise yoga session or unwind with holistic treatments at Anantara Spa, including Ayurveda programmes designed to improve sleep or target weight loss.

Excursions include visits to national parks, a trip to a nearby turtle conservation project where you can see hatchlings (between April and September) and whale-watching boat trips from Mirissa Harbour (about 90 minutes away) between December and April. Culturally, there are tea plantations, the Galle Fort and the ancient rock temples of Mulkirigala to discover.

Unlike other hotels in the Tangalle area, this one has a children’s and a teen’s club. It provides supervised activities and a shaded playground, whilst the main swimming pool at the resort includes a children’s section.

When you crave the privacy of your room, you’ll find the accommodation (there are 152 rooms and pool villas) feels spacious and your view of the gardens or the ocean, lovely. If you enjoy being able to slip into a pool to cool off, opt for one of the villas that come with not only a pool but also a villa host.

There’s a good range of dining options here with several restaurants in stunning cliff-edge, shoreline and poolside settings. Amongst them, Journeys offers divine Indian curries and local flavours, while El Vino offers fine wines and flavourful tapas. Sip a sundowner at the pool bar, or stop by the Lobby Lounge for Sri Lankan teas, local lagers and an evening shisha lounge. Culinary activities like cooking lessons, tips on selecting fresh seafood from local fishermen and picking ingredients from the on-site gardens are available to enrich your dining experiences.
