Tangalle · Sri Lanka
A slower kind of south coast.
Nine suites, one long pool and a quiet bay, a short walk through the kithul palms.

The house
Nine suites,one long pool,and nowhereyou have to be.
Kithul Cove sits behind a line of kithul palms on the south coast, four minutes' walk from a bay the fishing boats still use. There is no nightclub, no buffet and no schedule, only a veranda where breakfast lasts as long as you want it to.
