Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort overlooks the powerful Indian Ocean on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. The golden sandy beach fringed with coconut trees feels like a real tropical paradise. The resort is a 3.5-hour drive from Bandaranaike International Airport and 1.5 hours from Mattala International Airport. Alternatively, take the daily scheduled flight from Bandaranaike International Airport to Dickwella, just ten minutes away, or charter your own flight. It is also possible to charter a helicopter from Colombo to Tangalle.
Safari on sea and land
Anantara Peace Haven offers trips to Weligama Bay, which is often visited by sperm, blue and fin whales, with occasional sightings of killer whales as well. Sail in search of these graceful giants of the sea and feel the excitement as you watch them breach the surface.
Inland, marvel at the antics of herds of elephants, spraying themselves with water from the pools of Udawalawe National Park, or visit Yala National Park where they have the densest leopard population in the world.
A serene spa
Anantara’s spa is a haven of tranquillity. The lush greenery and lotus flowers soothe the soul, while the treatments stimulate the body. The Anantara signature massage uses a unique blend of oils and specially-designed movements to boost your circulation and allow you to relax deeply. The Marma Abhyanga massage is unique, focussing on your marmas – areas where bone, muscle, nerves, blood and lymph vessels meet. The Chakra Crystal Balancing treatment combines the power of massage, crystals and sound for the ultimate spa experience.
A culinary journey
The choice of restaurants at Anantara Peace Haven cater for every culinary fancy. Choose from Italian or Sri Lankan cuisine down by the beach, international food with ocean views or light bites and cocktails in the lounge. For groups and couples, there’s the opportunity for private dining at El Vino or romantic cliff-top tables for two.
