Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort
Coconut palm paradise on the southern Sri Lankan coast



Nestled on the rocky southern coast of Sri Lanka, this sprawling 42 acre coconut plantation boasts a paradisiacal seclusion to its 152 rooms and villas. From unfussy, earth hued beach-side villas with plush furnishings, private plunge pools on stilted terraces beckon with sandy stretches of beach and glistening Indian Ocean views just beyond. Diverse dining options through some half a dozen eateries, plus the ancient therapy practising Anantara Spa pampers, while excursions off-resort make use of the Island’s wealth of forest reserves and natural sanctuaries – think encounters with elephants, turtle conservation patrols and jeep safaris on the trail of the ever illusive leopard.
