Coming home to a fisherman's tale

Concept

Drawing inspiration from the fishing communities that have called Tangalle’s shores home for generations, Deewara can be ranked as a distinct Tangalle hotel for a laid-back tropical escape.

Long before Tangalle welcomed travellers, its fishermen were casting seine nets by hand along Mawella Beach, a communal tradition passed down through generations. Their modest coastal homes, built to withstand sun, salt and storm, quietly shaped the character of this stretch of Sri Lanka’s southern coast.

Deewara’s antiques, restored courtyards and villa stylings pay homage to these fisherman’s homes, offering guests a glimpse into the past. The property connects guests to nearby cultural sites, paired with bespoke service, refined accommodation and unparalleled experiences. Our courtyards sit steps from the beach, with a pool and traditional Ayurvedic spa to chase your blues away.

This restored property hosts a collection of garden and sea view rooms, adorned in antiques and artefacts that reflect the history of the region. Sea view rooms open onto ocean-facing balconies, while garden rooms offer your own privacy-filled sanctuary. Deewara Tangalle rewards guests with a dreamy vacation experience like no other.
