Talalla Retreat

Talalla, Sri Lanka

Description

Some places we do not merely visit, we become a part of! Places that touch your spirit, and replenish your soul. Where time fades, and your only schedule is the turning of the tides!
Welcome to an undiscovered Beach Resort Sri Lanka paradise. Welcome to Talalla.
Talalla Retreat is a boutique hotel, offering barefoot rustic charm on the Southern Beaches of Sri Lanka. The retreat sits on Talalla Beach, an undiscovered cove of crystal clear turquoise water, spotless golden sand and mesmerizing sunrises and sunsets.
Of all the resorts in Sri Lanka, Talalla offers its guests a level of elegant simplicity just metres from the lapping waters of a secluded cove. Here, time is measured in moments of serenity and pleasure. It is a place to get away from it all and to absorb the unsurpassed natural beauty of Sri Lanka.
A jungle paradise, Talalla is built low rise, and set into lush gardens, resplendent with tropical flora. Monkeys play in the coconut palms as they sway softly in the breeze. Monitor lizards roam freely as they have since the days of the dinosaurs. Squirrels twitter as they dart through the grass. And at night, fireflies light-up the surrounds, guiding you lightly to your villa….
Relax in the 20 metre freshwater pool, swing in a hammock or lounge on a sun-chair by day and by night indulge in a cocktail at the bar, or lounge on the sofa nearby.

Sri Lanka’s best kept secret is waiting for you, are you ready to replenish your soul and get in touch with nature?

Rating: 5 Reviewed on December 08, 2024
