Coco Tangalla is a chic, colonial-era villa, perched on a small bluff near Tangalle, on Sri Lanka’s south coast. Built in 1910, this beach house has been restored to a luxurious standard by British expat Tim Jacobson of Manor House Concepts. Tim’s wide knowledge of the area, made him select this undisturbed southern tip of Sri Lanka where the wide sandy beaches and cool sea breezes make for easy living. Now fully refurbished, this exclusive villa offers a perfect base on the South Coast.
Accommodation at the Coco Tangalla comprises of just six individually-designed, air-conditioned suites. All are simple but stylishly decorated with a mixture of modern and antique ebony furniture. The black and white décor runs through the house, creating a nostalgic colonial ambience. The house staff meets every need and a dedicated chef prepared delicious Sri Lankan and Western dishes, served in the open sided garden pavilion overlooking the sea.
Resting places around Coco Tangalla include an ambalama, where you can sit, lounge and read or soak yourself in the infinity pool, overlooking the Indian Ocean. Guests can enjoy swimming in the sea and snorkelling, near The Last House, its sister property which is 10 minutes away in Tangalle bay. One day, take a short trip to the Mulkirigala Caves to see the remarkable temple and monastery carved out of a large and sheer rock formation in the surrounding forest.

Location Tangalle is located along the southern coast of Sri Lanka.
Getting there The direct journey to Tangalle from Colombo’s international airport via the Southern Highway will take about 4-hours. Alternatively, there is an Air Taxi service which flies to Dickwella and is about 10 minutes’ drive away from the villa.
When to go Sri Lanka is a year-round destination with consistently warm temperatures and lots of sunshine. There are two monsoon seasons but they only bring rain to the west and south-west coasts from May to September; and the east coast and northern region between October and February. The rest of the year is sunny and dry but the months of December to April are probably the best time to visit. Colombo and the low-lying coastal regions have an average temperature of 27°C.
