Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort
Hide away at award-winning Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort, recognized as #10 top resort in Asia in the Conde Nast Readers' Choice Awards 2019. Landscaped terraces lead down to golden sands at this former coconut plantation, nestled within a tiny bay along Sri Lanka’s southern coast. The 120 rooms and 32 villas provide sumptuous sanctuary with inspired touches like rattan furnishings and batik fabrics. Dine on fine Italian at Il Mare, perched on the cliff’s edge, or teppanyaki, at the oceanfront Verele; then take cooking lessons in the demonstration kitchen. Exotic dreams come true with elephant encounters, Ayurvedic spa treatments, yoga on the beach and bicycling to nearby rock temples.
Head to the local food markets in Tangalle to choose your ingredients with the hotel chef for a cookery class back at the resort.
