The Last House

Beautiful property with gorgeous spacious rooms by a famous architect Geoffrey Bawa. Lovely staff who are very accomodating and fantastic food, especially the Sri Lankan omelette and traditional curry set! The beach is peaceful and local towns are only 10-15mins away.

Wonderful house designed by renowned Sri Lankan architect, Geoffrey Bawa, choc full of interesting art and artefacts. We loved the quiet location at the end of a beautiful beach. We stayed in the Cinnamon Room upstairs where the sound of the waves lulled us to sleep. Leaving doors and windows open created a cooling breeze. The friendly manager, Ananda, made an effort to check in with all the guests every day. The warm staff are unobtrusive but always on hand for anything you need. As part of their eco conscious drive they provide water in glass bottles in the rooms, which are topped up daily. Loved their Ayurvedic toiletries made from natural products like coconut, vanilla and cinnamon.The food is all freshly made and absolutely delicious. We are vegetarian so could have done with a few more dinner options but used the opportunity to try some local restaurants in nearby Tangalle, all easily accessible in a tuk tuk.

Top design with classical features of the architect Geoffrey Bawa, like the direct views from the rooms to the sea. Lovely spot on a sandy beach near a little picturesque harbor. Great food, too! Great to stay and relax, even as a stop over place ….

How does one describe perfection........ a Geoffrey Bawa designed hotel on a quiet tropical beach with fantastic service and exceptional food. It just doesn't get any better than this. This place oozes class and style. We stayed at a number of boutique hotels throughout Sri Lanka and this place was a real highlight. We stayed in the Moonamal suite on the ground floor which was beautifully decorated with ensuite bathroom with shower plus an additional outside shower in secluded area. The garden of the property has a gate right onto the beach which is pretty much undeveloped and unspoilt with just coconut trees, golden sand and warm tropical water. Perfect ! The hotel is at the far eastern end of the beach giving you a secluded and almost private beach area. It's a very pleasant walk along the beach to the other end, where you will pass a number of fishing boats. We took a tuk tuk 20 minutes to spend a day at Hiriketiya Beach which was very pleasant with quite a few bars and restaurants and lots of surfboards to rent. This is a very pretty beach and although developed, it isn't spoilt. I also have to mention the quality of the food which was better absolutely first class and if anyone reads the Mr and Mrs Smith review saying there is no alcohol for sale her, do not believe them, The Last House serves the best cocktails we had in all of Sri Lanka.

I stayed here as part of my holiday to southern Sri Lanka. This is the most awesome experience I ever had part of my holiday. The white sanded beach is secluded paradise & Mr. Ananda with his team service was stands out. Great Value for Money and Solo travelers ideal choice is Na Room where I stayed with an iconic window opening up to the Indian Ocean.

Last House in Tangalle is an oasis of luxury and tranquility on the southern coast of Sri Lanka. From the moment I arrive, l'll be enchanted by the serene ambiance and impeccable service. With spacious and beautifully designed accommodations, delectable cuisine showcasing local flavors, and private beach access offering stunning sunset views, every moment at Last House is a true delight. Treat yourself to an unforgettable escape and experience the magic of Last House.
