Anantara Peace Haven
Tangalle

Anantara Peace Haven, on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, offers the ultimate in luxury and seclusion. Surrounded by a 21-acre coconut plantation, a white sandy crescent beach and the crystal clear ocean, the 152-room resort is ideal for couples and families alike. The spacious rooms and pool villas have beautiful views over the lush manicured gardens, or over the glistening Indian Ocean. Each with a balcony or outdoor space, all of them are equipped with adaptable facilities to suit every guest’s needs and requests.

There are a number of restaurants to choose from, with cliff-side, shoreline and poolside settings, each one serving a unique menu; Journeys is the stylish all-day dining restaurant which savours flavourful journeys from around the world; Verele is the teppanyaki-inspired dining, enriched by the unique flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine; Il Mare the fine dining Italian restaurant, with spectacular ocean views; El Vino the distinguished wine bar serving delicious tapas style creations with impeccable wine picked by the sommelier; Pool Bar is the informal eatery serving refreshments all day long. Guests can also experience Dining by Design, bespoke private dining in an intimate setting, be it on a secluded stretch of beach at sunset or beside the pool under a starlit sky.

There are plenty of activities to choose from, including cookery classes, tennis and badminton, bicycle rides and traditional boat rides around the surrounding area. There is also a kids and teens club, a fitness centre and a 25-metre split level infinity pool with a separate children’s pool. Or for those looking to unwind and relax completely, there is daily yoga and meditation classes, and the iconic Anantara spa which specialises in the signature 2 ½ hour ultimate indulgence treatment. Whether you decide to unwind on the beach, choose from a menu of trusted ancient spa therapies or go whale watching, this beautiful resort has so much to offer!

The resort is secluded yet easily accessible. Cinnamon Air operates a 45-minute transfer once daily between Colombo’s international airport and Dikwella, which is just 10-minutes from the resort. Or for the scenic land route, Bandaranaike International Airport is a three and a half hour drive away.

Travelling is like flirting with life. It's like saying, 'I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.
