Beach Hotels in Tangalle

We had the suite, with the large terrace, directly on the beachfront. It was simple amazing! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Room service can be arranged by whatsapp. The menu and drinks have enough variety for 5-6 days. The beach is very quite and beautiful. Highlight was diner at the beachfront. Also, the spa menu gives your some good options for relaxation.

Super nice hosts. Shashi is also a very good cook and gave me a cookingclass 🥰

Tasteful interiors, amazing service, and great coffee. The place is located right on a dreamy beach with no tourists which makes it feel like a private area.

Having travelled around Sri Lanka for eleven days and experienced various accommodation, Shine Wave was by far the cleanest. The room was equipped to a very high standard with a very comfortable bed and bedding. There were even umbrellas and sunshades to take to the beach! The breakfast was served on a little table on our very private balcony surrounded by tropical trees. The food was also the very best Sri Lankan breakfast we’d been offered, with delicious pancakes as well as all the other things, all beautifully presented. The proprietor bent over backwards to ensure that we had a good beach experience, which we were able to walk to in about a minute down a sandy track, and what a beach! The proprietor told us what to do at eight o’clock that evening in order to see the turtles at night ( i.e. go to the small turtle conservation centre, pay the guides 2000SR each which we believe is used for the conservation project.) That evening, the hotel owner was at the hotel gate where he loaned us his torch to go to the beach. The torch shone a red light, which is the only colour allowed on the beach and is less likely to affect the turtles. We went with a small group of other travellers from the conservation centre, and on the beach we were utterly and totally amazed by what we saw! To begin with, we saw a tiny turtle that had just hatched out of it’s egg, scurrying down the beach and heading for the sea. Then we followed the guide down the beach a little way, where the guide shone his red torchlight on to an enormous green turtle at the back of the beach. She was down in a dip having laid her eggs and was laboriously digging up the sand and burying what was likely to have been about a hundred and twenty eggs. The final thrill was to watch her move slowly back down the beach, leaving her glorious patterns in the sand. When she reached the sea, our last sight of her was when the waves lapped over her …. and then she was gone.

The rooms were spacious, and right on the beach. Just amazing! Close to the main street and multiple restaurants nearby.

Everything was super, location is quiet, not to much tourist or overcrowd. The reception guy who meet us was super helpfull. Arenge as a lot off things like scooter and breakfast sandwich early in the morning before we leave to safari.

This place is an amazing calm oasis. The bungalows are spacious, comfortable and beautifully decorated. We loved the garden with all the palm trees and the pool area with a view of the lake where you can see many different birds. We also spotted monkeys in the trees. Highly recommend this hotel!

This place is in absolute gem. The views, vibes, proximity to the ocean and hospitality were all top tier. Couldn’t find a bad thing to say if I tried.

The Hidden Garden is an oasis of calm. We were told it was a few minutes from the beach by going down a garden path and it really is. In the extensive hotel grounds you could not hear any noise from the beach bars and restaurants that dot the coast. The rooms were spotlessly clean and depending on the room you booked, had all amenities. The view from our veranda was really beautiful. The pool is fab. The staff were really friendly. They also do laundry and you can borrow a kayak to go around the lagoon that backs onto the Hotel. We saw a massive monitor lizard which was exciting! Tip-the address on booking .com is accurate for car travel. The address on Google only for on foot. I suggest you ring the Hotel to co-ordinate with your driver if you are coming by car. It is one of those places that is easy once you know!

Large, comfortable rooms with excellent aircon. Beautiful grounds with peacocks and monkeys and shy kittens roaming around. Excellent location less than ten minute walk down to Silent beach and a couple of local restaurants enroute. Would stay again!
