The best time
to visit Tangalle.

Best time: December to March.

Weather: Warm 27–31°C; southern monsoon May–September; clear and dry in peak season.

Tangalle is where the south coast empties out — kilometres of unbroken beach, low coconut groves and a cluster of design-led private villas that make it the island's quietest luxury enclave.

• · Turtle nesting at Rekawa is best after 8pm with a permitted guide.
• · The rip currents can be strong — swim only at hotel-supervised coves.
• · Pair with Yala for the perfect 7-night southern loop.
