Lagoon Gate Tangalle Resort sits close to where Rekawa Lagoon meets the coast, in Tangalle on Sri Lanka's south coast. The beach is around a two-minute walk away, and the resort makes a good base for visiting the Rekawa Turtle Conservation Project, a short drive off, and the Hummanaya Blow Hole, roughly 14.5 km away.

Rooms are offered in Standard, Superior and Deluxe categories, with meal plans ranging from Room Only and Bed and Breakfast to Half Board and Full Board, so you can choose how much of your dining is arranged in advance.

The on-site restaurant serves seafood, local and Asian dishes, with halal, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available on request. For time outdoors, guests can go fishing, canoeing, cycling or snorkelling, or book into the spa for yoga classes and massage treatments.
