Things to do in Tangalle

Tangalle comprises coves and beaches and remains mostly secluded and undiscovered. Its golden sandy beaches and coconut-fronded coastlines are great for surfing and watching turtles. The area is also home to rich cultural sites including the Rock Temples of Mulkirigala and shrines of Wewurukannala.

Kalametiya Bird Sanctuary

Explore Sri Lanka’s wilderness on a traditional paalam paaruwara raft to see over 150 species of water and land birds in their natural habitat. The surrounding area consists of lagoons, shrub jungles, mangroves and grassy land which provide an ideal haven for bird life. The raft can also be docked on a part of the reserve, where other animal species including mammals, fish and reptiles can be seen.

Explore Rich Cultural Sites

Climb 500 steps to the Rock Temples of Mulkirigala dating back to the 3rd-century BC, now shrouded within a tranquil forest. The temple stands at the tip of the rock of Mulkirigala that rises approximately 676 feet from the surrounding land mass. The complex is home to seven cave temples situated in five terraced areas of different altitudes.

Surfing at Blue Beach

Whether you’re a complete beginner or ride the waves like a seasoned professional, the waters of Blue Beach offer a combination of great surfing experiences. Private surfing lessons can be arranged with lifeguards on beaches that are within a half an hour drive from our resort.

Guests at Kayaam house

We had a fantastic stay at Kayaam House. The hotel is beautifully designed, the decor is sophisticated and calming and the hotel has a wonderful setting right on the beach, away from the crowds. We walked along the beach at sunset in the evenings - a perfect way to end the day.
