Location
Tangalla Bay Hotel, originally built in the 1970s along the lines of a large cruise ship with spectacular views of the Indian Ocean from every angle, is located in the coastal town of Tangalle in the deep south. Set on four acres of beach front property strewn with palm trees, this is a distinctive mid-ranged beach hotel that will appeal to those looking for a holiday experience with a difference. Tangalla Bay is located off the main A2 Galle road and can be reached via the coast or the hill country. The journey from Colombo’s international airport will take more than six hours so consider a stop en route.
Introduction
Tangalla Bay Hotel stands tall at the edge of the sea like a ship about to set sail into the Indian Ocean. Board this imaginative retro-ship and discover tall glass windows and portholes that let you gaze upon the surrounding turquoise seas. The 34 superior and deluxe rooms are laid out over four decks. Tangalla Bay was refurbished in 2011, updating its rooms with all modern conveniences. Management has been taken over by the Jetwing group.

Tangalla Bay has many stairways and is not recommended for those with mobility difficulties. While older children will find this a fascinating venue, it is not recommended for families with very young children. It should be noted that swimming in the sea right in front of the hotel is not possible due to a coral reef and undercurrents. A few minutes stroll along the beach takes you to a safer area where swimming is possible during the season from December to March.
