Sheltered by a crescent of golden sand, Anantara Peace Haven Resort is an unexplored paradise located in Tangalle on Sri Lanka’s southernmost shore.
At a resort where indulgence blends authentic indigenous elements and international flair, activities in Tangalle are endless, ranging from Aryurvedic Wellness Journeys to exhilarating surfing and personalised spa experiences. After dining on sustainably sourced cuisine, brought from farm to cliff side table by a private chef, master the art of Sri Lankan cuisine by taking an exclusive cooking class. Toast the ocean views from a private veranda and relax as the sun dips below the horizon signaling the end of another day in paradise.
As soon as a fleeting hint of restlessness takes hold again, guests can summon a private jet to take off to the spectacular Maldives. From the window of a private sea plane watch as the twenty-six atolls unfurl below, stretched like a necklace across innumerable shades of blue oceans. Upon arrival at Anantara Kihavah Maldives Villas, it is clear that nature reigns. Overwater villas feature a two-tiered deck with shaded swinging daybed, dining area and ocean hammocks above, and a sunny lower deck with loungers and steps into the lagoon. Choose the sunset side of the island for evenings tinged with fiery blush. Villas are at one with natural surroundings, with coconut trees jutting through some of the villas’ ceilings and lush canopies offering shade and seclusion.
By day, those with a taste of adventure will be satiated by the unparalleled diving accessible from the coral reefs. Dip toes into the aquamarine lagoon of a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and snorkel with mantas and whale sharks or stroll along immaculate, snow-white beaches. By night, be transported to a faraway galaxy with a private stargazing session in the only observatory in the southern Indian Ocean.
The Anantara Private Jet Experience can be tailored to suit each guest’s individual tastes and requirements and scaled to accommodate intimate couples’ celebrations or larger group parties. Begin a quintessentially Anantara journey by contacting one of the experience butlers for more information.
