Cinnabar Resort is a recently renovated guest house in Tangalle where guests can make the most of its outdoor swimming pool, private beach area, and free bikes.

This was a beautiful getaway near Tangalle. The facilities were lovely, the whole resort was just idyllic, and the food was delicious. We wish we could have spent more time at the location! Directly on the beach, also with a gorgeous salt-water pool, lots of comfortable hammocks and bean bags to enjoy the view. The staff were also incredibly helpful and accommodating when we got sick, and went above and beyond to help us out.

Set in large grounds bordered by wetlands, Eagles Nest Cabanas offers rooms with a terrace. A 3-minute walk from the beach, the property has its own restaurant.

The location is super peaceful and quiet, lots of animals right by the lagoon. 7 mins away from the beach. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I got stung by a jelly fish and got offered Aloe Vera right away which really helped me a lot. The breakfast and food in general is homemade and super super tasty. The coffee was also pretty good. I definitely recommend staying here if you're looking for a super quiet and peaceful timeout to just relax and enjoy being surrounded by all kinds of peaceful animals.

EVERYTHING - Manu and his wife Shishi and the house dogs were the best! we felt at home, Manu went fishing and cooked us fresh crabs, shrimps, fish more than we can eat at a very fair price. he also went fishing in the next morning again and cooked us fresh lobsters in the morning free of charge because he didnt have lobsters the night before. he is just too kind and giving. we played card games all night as a family:) rooms are clean and beds are comfy. also hot shower! dont leave this place without eating the seafood!

Offering garden views, Tanzanite place in Tangalle features accommodations, a garden, and a shared lounge. With lake views, this accommodation provides a terrace.

In my opinion, this is the best place you can stay in Tangalle. It is located a little bit outside the center so calmer but still close enough so that within 5 minutes, you are in town if you wish to. Two of the most beautiful beaches of the area (Silent Beach and Goyambokka Beach) are within walking distance. The place itself is absolutely great. It's a beautiful house with the hosts living on ground floor and the rooms/apartments on 2nd and 3rd floor. They are very spacious and equipped with everything you need, both for a short vacation or for a longer term stay. The beds are comfortable and the mattresses have standard US/European length, so your feet won't stick out. The AC works properly and in addition there is a fan. The WiFi is perfectly stable and fast enough even for video calls. The bathroom is clean and designed in such a way so that you can take a shower without the entire floor being wet for hours. The host and his family are very friendly and welcoming. His English is very good which makes communication easy, and he replies very quickly. They offer food at their place and rent out scooters. Given the price all of this is offered to us as guests, this place definitely deserves a 10 star review. I have already recommended coming here to friends and am certain you will be happy staying here either.

We had a wonderful stay at Four Season Guest House! The family running it is very friendly, welcoming and open. Our kid was invited to play with all the toys of their kids and we had some lovely conversations. The guest house is very clean and location is only 2 min walk to the beach! Breakfast was lovely, very filling and good coffee as well :) We would definitely stay again when in Tangalle!

    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.

Nice and friendly host family as well as all other locals - we spent amazing 5 nights there! Cosy, clean rooms and some of the best food that we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. We are definitely looking forward to visiting again!!

The breakfast was delicious and varied, consisting of fresh fruit and tasty local dishes. Kavidi cooks very well. The dinner was definitely the best we had in Sri Lanka. You must try it!

    Beautiful private home stay. I was made to feel so very welcome and looked after with lovely meals and hospitality from the family - and also benefit from a lot of privacy and tranquility. My neighbours (peacocks, monkeys and squirrels) were also very friendly. All at a very affordable price - highly recommend

    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.
