Reviews

Try your hand at surfing at the onsite at the Tropic surf school
Jack Mace (Staff)
In Sri Lanka I always thought the bigger hotels were killing some of the spirit and character of this lovely country but Anantara Peace Haven breaks the mould. It's located just outside of Tangalle on a beautiful stretch of beach and amongst a coconut plantation. The main pool area is fantastic taking you down to a lovely grassy area. If you are looking for a hotel with facilities on the south coast, look no further. There's a whole host of things to keep you busy, including a tennis court, badminton court, cooking classes, a gym, spa, daily yoga and Thai Chi and a great surfing beach close by. For the children there a great kids club and teens area - there really is something for everyone here.
