Set in Tangalle, a few steps from Tangalle Beach, Cinnabar Resort offers accommodation with a private beach area, free private parking, an outdoor swimming pool and free bikes.

What an amazing place! We booked this for our honeymoon and the place exceeded all our expectations. We stayed in a tree house, the beds were amaaazing, definitely the best bed we had in Sri Lanka. We spent our days in the pool, at the beach and sometimes found the strength to leave this place of paradise to walk around town. The staff is amazing, they tend to all your needs and work super hard. Be kind to them as they only get one day off a month to go see their families. The place is located on a stretch of beach between the ocean and the lake but we barely saw any mosquitoes. We did spot a lot of wildlife, some that even got in out room so don’t book the tree house if you dont want animals 🤣 The house pets (3puppies, 2 dogs and a bunch of cats) are friendly and love to hang out with you to look at the sunset. What a life! We found it hard to leave and it will be a stay to remember.

Beautifully located next to a lagoon. Beautiful garden, pool and balcony are huge plus! So is watching the birds from the breakfast terrace. Try the Srilankan breakfast, was really great! Very kind hosts, supporting me with transportation arrangements and preparing food also at unusual hours. Would definately come back. :-)

    Indi was a really great host, who always ensured we were satisfied and taken care of. He arrived each morning with fresh mangos and bananas. The food was absolutely delicious and we really enjoyed eating dinner at the home stay. Indi also let us borrow his bike for a small extra cost when we needed to go out. Overall, Three Little Birds was a lovely home stay.

    I spent Christmas at Ajanee's HomeStay. Ajanee's family were great hosts. I was offered the choice of Sri Lankan or western breakfasts, I chose Sri Lankan. The breakfasts were huge, and different each morning. The bedroom was large, and there was a large shaded open space just for me. It was a wonderful place to spend a few days, quiet, away from the Tangalle strip, close to the Madakatiya beach, with the lifeguarded Tangalle Town Beach a short walk away. I would stay here again

    The homestay is run by a lovely young family who will go above and beyond to offer a relaxing stay close to the beach. It's located 5 minutes away from the silent beach in a quiet area away from the main road with few restaurants and other homestays around. Kavidi is a great cook and the dinner and breakfast served is outstanding. The rooms are clean and have a perfect size. AC and hot shower is also available. We can highly recommend staying at Kavidi Villa Home Stay and would love to come back!

    This is a pretty homestay 200 metres from the beach. The area of the beach the turtles come ashore. This is not a swimming beach. It is a beautiful, wild beach with sand that you sink into as you walk. Loud, booming waves you can hear from the homestay. We had a very nice room with a big, private balcony. Lots of birds and squirrels, sometimes monkeys, come to visit. We stayed 7 glorious days. Most people stay one or two; just coming for the turtles. We liked the peace, the village life, the glorious wild beach and our lovely hosts.
