The Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort brings Anantara’s chic design, authentic experiences and Thai-inspired hospitality to the shores of Sri Lanka. The resort is scattered throughout 21 acres of tropical gardens and is fronted by a secluded beach and beautiful rocky outcrop. Whether you are looking for cultural or nature excursions or the chance to explore the local region at leisure you'll be well catered for here. And for those days you want to get away from it all the tranquil Anantara Spa offers both Ayurvedic and holistic treatments, and there are many out of the way spots where you can relax. You can even walk to a nearby small beach where there are simple beach restaruants. Dining here is a pleasure with a selection of options on offer throughout the day. The main venue is Journeys, which as the name suggest allows you to enjoy a variety of flavours from around the world. For something a little more unique there is the oceanfront restaurant Verela, a teppanyaki restaurant with a local flavour. Another favourite dinner setting is the edge of the rocky outcrop, where you will find the award-winning Italian speciality restaurant Il Mare. The resort also offers a farm-to-table dining experience which includes a walk along the organic paddy field and farm. The ambience of the accommodation here reflects the rest of the resort – indigenous Sri Lankan design and locally sourced furnishings and artworks are used throughout the spacious rooms and villas. Each Premier and Deluxe Room features a terrace or balcony which overlooks the gardens, or for a supplement the beach and ocean. For true indulgence there are a selection of highly recommended villas, each of which has a private terrace with a plunge pool; you can choose between garden or ocean views or a beachside setting.
You’ll feel yourself switch into relaxation mode as soon as you arrive at this luxurious resort, catch sight of the spectacular views and take your first breath of fresh sea air. The gentle curve of the 60-metre-long infinity pool draws your gaze to the crashing surf beyond and showcases the breathtaking 270-degree coastal views – it’s no wonder it was voted one of ‘The 10 Best Infinity Pools in the World’ by Condé Nast Traveler. With in-room dining and spa treatments on offer it would be easy to cocoon yourself in your residence-style suite or villa but there are plenty of activities to lure you from your luxurious sanctuary. As a Relais & Châteaux member (one of only two in Sri Lanka) and sister hotel to the exquisite Ceylon Tea Trails, outstanding service is a given at this romantic resort. Ocean Terrace offers freshly baked treats and local specialities such as hoppers – pancakes made from rice flour and coconut milk – for breakfast. Enjoy international fusion cuisine for dinner and choose fresh fish to be cooked to your liking from the on-site market twice a week. Reserve a table at the intimate Ocean Grill Steakhouse & Grill for melt-in-the-mouth steaks and grilled prawns. Don’t miss afternoon tea at Cape Club and film nights under the stars at Surf Bar. The suites and villas are lavishly spacious with super-chic interiors and a steam room. The Suites are set in two-storey villas around the Cove and are perfect for families or groups. The terracotta-topped villas are scattered in twos or threes, share a 15-metre infinity pool and have incredible sea views. Toted as Sri Lanka’s most luxurious pool villa, the Cape Villa 2 Bedroom Duplex is just a two-minute walk from the beach and boasts 310m2 of living space and a private pool.
