Wildlife Safaris to the Minneriya and Wasgamuwa National Parks, treks and hikes through its richly bio-diverse environment, quiet times of bird watching, and exploration of the Dambulla cave temple are a few other interests to pursue there.

Buckingham Place | Tangalle
Situated just outside of Tangalle, set back from the Rekawa beach & overlooking the lagoon, this 11 room stylish contemporary boutique hotel opened in late 2010. The 5 bedrooms and 6 suites all offer fantastic space (80 square meters), luxury bathrooms and have balconies or garden access with a view to the lagoon. The hotel has its own swimming pool and there is quiet rock-pool a short walk along the beach, which is reached down a 70 metre footpath. The hotel’s restaurant combines excellent fusion cooking with authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. In our opinion this hotel, run by Nick Buckingham an Englishman who has followed his dream and today calls Sri Lanka his home, offers outstanding value for money. Whilst guests can make local excursions, this is a perfect sanctuary offering excellent accommodation, great food and a perfect place to relax and indulge in the deep south of the island.
