Reviews
We truly loved our stay and would happily come back.
The only downside is that the hotel is not adults-only, so there are children around. It would be great if there were a designated area for kids, especially around the pool, to make the experience more relaxing for adult guests.
The premises are extremely clean everywhere and the staff very friendly and helpful. Gothami welcomed us, showed us around and took us to our private villa with pool. Once you book such a room you get a host who is going to be with you in contact throughout the entire stay and will provide any information or service needed. Thank you Yohan for making us feel taken care of. The spa center and the massage therapist Thushtika were amazing. The coconut guru makes sure you have fresh coconut water during the day. Special thanks to the staff from the Italian restaurant Il Mare. Overall food is very good and there are a lot of options to tailor to everyone's needs. Dessert are extremely tasty, not very sweet and usually light. Fruit is so fresh and tasty.
Feedback: you might consider using bracelets of different colors to distinguish between the type of reservation (all inclusive or not).
Mini bar 1st use could be complimentary for villas at least.
The room was beautiful and very comfortable. Breakfast was great with a good variety of dishes. The couple spa therapy was excellent ,very good massage, calming essential oils, and hot herbal tea served afterwards. The therapists were skilled and professional.
The romantic dinner at the Italian restaurant was truly memorable. The next evening at the Asian restaurant, the staff went out of their way to prepare Indian dal-chawal specially for us, which we really appreciated.
All the staff were extremely polite and helpful. The resort was so peaceful and nice that we hardly felt like going out. Highly recommended.loved it. Will visit again
A genuinely peaceful retreat in a stunning setting
We’ve had a wonderful stay at Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort, and it truly lives up to its name. The setting alone is exceptional, perched above the Indian Ocean with sweeping views, constant sea breeze, and a sense of calm that you feel almost immediately on arrival.
The resort is beautifully designed and immaculately maintained. The grounds are expansive yet peaceful, with plenty of quiet corners as well as lovely pool and beach areas. Our room was spacious, spotless and very comfortable, with thoughtful touches throughout and a layout that made it easy to properly relax rather than just “stay”.
What really stands out, though, is the service. Every member of staff we encountered was warm, attentive and genuinely kind, never overbearing, always professional, and clearly proud of the resort. Small moments of care and attention made the stay feel personal and well considered.
Food was consistently excellent, with a good variety across the restaurants and high standards throughout. Breakfast in particular was a highlight, both for the quality and the setting. The spa and wellness facilities were also superb and added to the overall sense of escape and restoration.
This is an ideal resort for couples or anyone looking for tranquillity, space and understated luxury in a breathtaking part of Sri Lanka. We left feeling rested, looked after and already talking about a return visit, which says it all.
Anantara was undoubtedly the most stunning surprise of my Sri Lankan trip, a true "vacation within a holiday." From the moment I stepped into the resort, I was completely enveloped in its beauty—the garden-style layout perfectly blends nature and luxury, every step feels like stepping into a postcard. The pool merges seamlessly with the blue of the Indian Ocean, and sitting on the beach at sunset watching the waves crash, even time seems to slow down.
The guest rooms are impeccable. Stepping outside reveals expansive ocean views, the bedding is so soft you don't want to get out of bed, and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect, even the scent of the toiletries is comforting. The dining options are plentiful and delicious. Verala Restaurant offers exquisite and authentic cuisine, Il Mare Restaurant boasts exceptionally fresh seafood, and the room service we tried was both comforting and thoughtful. The most unforgettable experience was the hotel's spoon-making class. Learning to cook Sri Lankan dishes with the chef became a special highlight of the trip.
The service here truly embodied the phrase "home away from home." From the warmly welcoming staff to your personal room host, everyone wore a genuine smile and thoughtfully remembered your preferences. Lifeguards on the beach proactively offered towels, and some staff even braved the rain to climb coconut trees just to deliver fresh king coconuts! This attentive yet unobtrusive care made the entire stay exceptionally comfortable.
Even spending the whole day at the hotel was never boring. The comprehensive facilities met all your needs, and the spa's therapeutic programs were a perfect way to unwind. Leaving was bittersweet; the scenery, the food, and the warm hospitality became my most precious memories of Sri Lanka, and I will definitely return!
