There’s national park safaris, Galle city tours, elephant sanctuaries, whale-spotting boat trips, temples, and much more. One highlight, Rekawa Turtle Conservation project, has you watching hawksbill turtles belly-crawl onto the shore to lay eggs. Mulkirigala is another: the stunning temple is carved into natural rocks, and makes for an amazing thing to see.

As the gateway into rural Sri Lanka, Tangella’s authentic streets and buildings are their own attraction. But despite this, maybe you just want to hit the resort’s beach. We don’t blame you. The Tangella coastline defines picture perfect beauty. Secluded, luxurious and charming: Anantara Peace Haven Resort’s is a Sri Lankan retreat at its most alluring.
