Cinnabar Resort

We had a wonderful stay at Cinnabar in Tangalle. The property is a beautiful beachfront retreat surrounded by nature, with an eco-friendly design that blends perfectly with its peaceful surroundings. The atmosphere was calm, quiet, and incredibly relaxing. One of the highlights was being able to hear the soothing sound of the ocean and feel the refreshing sea breeze throughout the day and night. It truly made it easy to unwind and disconnect from the busy world. Enjoying our meals while sitting right on the beachfront, overlooking the ocean, was an unforgettable experience. The combination of the stunning views, peaceful ambience, and natural beauty made our stay truly special. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a pleasant smile. Their warm hospitality made us feel at home and added so much to our overall experience. We would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing beachfront getaway in Tangalle. We look forward to visiting again!

It is definitely the best hotel in Sri Lanka. The ambience is unforgettable. The rooms, the view, the food everything was perfect. You are sleeping with the ocean sound. The pool is even with ocean water and not very cold. You are eating your food almost inside the ocean and this is very good chance. You must try this hotel

Nothing! Everything was perfect!

We had to check out of another hotel after only two hours and booked Cinnabar based on a friend’s recommendation. Honestly, it exceeded every expectation. The kids and I arrived hot, tired, stressed and hungry. The moment we walked into the resort, all of that disappeared. It felt like stepping into a storybook, a hidden magical garden tucked away from the rest of the world. The property itself is stunning. Built over many years, it perfectly balances sophistication, creativity and charm. Set on a quiet stretch of beach at the end of a secluded lane, it feels like you’ve discovered a secret paradise. The treehouse-style villas are beautiful, clean and incredibly comfortable. Walking across the wooden bridges and hand-built staircases felt like being on a movie set. My children absolutely loved it, especially the resident kittens. What truly makes Cinnabar special, however, is the people. Arrive as guests, leave as friends. The owner is a genuinely kind, thoughtful and fascinating person, and I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations. Ravi and the team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, especially my son, who may have consumed more ice cream than strictly necessary! Travelling as a single mum with two young children comes with plenty of challenges, and staying here made our trip easier, happier and far less stressful. We loved watching the team play cricket on the beach in the evenings and were even invited to join in. I genuinely cannot say a bad word about our experience. Whether you’re travelling solo, with children, as a couple or with friends, I cannot recommend Cinnabar highly enough. We loved it so much that we extended our stay. When the kids ask to stay longer, who am I to argue? Thank you to everyone at Cinnabar for making us feel so at home. We will absolutely be back.

Cannot say a bad word. Only thing to note is accessibility as some of the tree house villas are up hand built stairs and across wooden bridges.

Really nice place very beautiful however be careful if your travelling alone

I was massively overcharged
