We loved our stay and felt very welcome! Great chalet with all amenities, excellent breakfast and service. We also tried the fish barbecue on the menu, which was also great!

Quiet place close to a beautiful beach

Stayed in March 2025

Beautifully decorated cabins in the older style. Location is secluded, and very quiet. The staff were exceptional, arranging everything and solving problems. You can go for long walks on the beach and hardly meet anyone. Mr Saliya organised a sunrise trip to Kalemitya Bird Sanctuary which we highly recommend. We also saw turtles on the beach - very special. Breakfasts were delicious, we chose the Sri Lankan options and the coffee was great! Swimming nearby: there is a Rockpool about 10 minutes walk away that is safe to swim, otherwise very dangerous. We went to to Silent Beach by tuk tuk one day (20 minutes) and it was a good safe spot for swimming. We also ate some delicious meals at nearby Mama’s Kitchen- only a 10 minute walk away. We were very sad to leave as the staff were so very kind and attentive.

We really loved staying at The Waves. The chalet was clean and comfortable, and the service was excellent. We were really well taken care of. There is easy access to a beautiful quiet beach. Would love to stay again some day!

The waves beach chalets is a great place if you look for quiet, empty beaches. The rooms were super well equipped. The staff was super friendly & the breakfast was super delicious and with a great view. Will definitely come back & can recommend to stay here!

Nothing. We had a great stay.

Mahesh and his team were incredible. Very welcoming, friendly and couldn't do more to help. The breakfast was excellent with a good choice and we had some delicious dinners too. The laundry service was the best price we had on our trip. The location is peaceful and quiet with views over the sea, although Mahesh warned us it wasn't safe to swim directly outside but its a 2 min walk down the beach to a safer spot.. A great place to stay to unwind after some of the busier places. Great wildlife in and around the chalets too.

Property has very nice green territory, we’ve seen near our chalet peacock, lizards, palm squirrels and a lot of other animals. Good variety of breakfast serving under palm trees near ocean. We were just in love with this hotel! Thanks to manager of the hotel, he was nothing but nice and caring person!

Amazing peaceful location with friendly chilled staff

Bedroom was a little dark.

The quiet location right next to a dreamy and remote beach is unbeatable. Chalets are well equipped, the garden is beautiful and there is lots of greenery as well as animals (such as monkeys) around. Many breakfast options (Sri lankan as well as continental) available. Rooms are clean and we had the best bathroom of our trip here. Most of all we were thankful to have Mahesh as our host. He helped us with our every need and even served us coffee before an early morning safari at 5am. Wifi connection was very good too.

We knew ahead so that was fine with us, but you can’t swim right in front of the property. You need to go few min walk from there.

Our chalet was super comfortable and seconds from the beach. We also had our own table for breakfast and dinner in the middle of nature with view of the ocean. We could see monkeys and peacocks. The team was just fabulous and very attentive to our needs. If you wish to be a little far from everything else, that’s the best place for couple of days!

Not the fault of the property; unfortunately “the waves” on the beach are a bit punchy, level of jeopardy taking a swim and closed out for surfing but …. There is a small sheltered swim spot down the beach.

Location, on the beach view of the ocean, quiet and relaxing.

The Waves Beach Chalet is set on a glorious stretch of beach, in a beautiful garden. We loved it so much we stayed on for an extra night. Our host was such a gentleman and made our stay so special. The meals were prepared with love and so beautifully presented.

Our room was older and a little bit dark, the plaster was falling off in some places and the shower curtain was a bit moldy. But the bathroom was nice, there was a glass ceiling so light came through it and it was nice, especially in the morning.

The staff were so nice to us. We arrived late in the evening and they waited for us and made us a fresh dinner late at night. Our stay was during a New Year's Eve celebration. Our host helped us massively with information about what shops may be open at that time. He also called to train station to check if any trains were operating during the holidays for us to leave. He helped us arrange TukTuk and let us check out later than it was scheduled. The internet was stable and reliable with decent speed outside the room, but inside the room was worse. The location was awesome. The private beach was almost empty and we appreciated the privacy. We had breakfast and dinner outside with a nice view of the sea.

More sockets to charge electronics would have been great. Also a name board along the small streets to find the property can save time since it is little difficult to spot the property.

Access to a serene beach, nice food and hospitality. The rooms are big and comfortable beds. Recommended for nice, comfortable and relaxing stay.

Couldn’t swim at the beach.

Private dining area overlooking the beach, peaceful location. Cold drink and cold towel on arrival was a lovely welcome. There are only three chalets so it’s very private and peaceful.

Nothing to complain about the place

This is our first trip to Sri Lanka, and the first few days in Colombo were so tiring for us. But finally, we arrived at The Waves Beach Chalets, and it was our paradise, we could see birds and monkeys from our terrace. It was amazing. The host and his boys were super helpful, kind, and honest. He cares and helps us with everything. I felt so warm and touched. The service is beyond our expectations. The place is so clean and feel like we have our own beach which we can walk and see turtle next door. There are a few restaurants where we can walk from the property to have lunch or dinner. For breakfast will be served at a nice place where we can see the beach, it was super nice. Or if you would like to go somewhere else, the host also can help to arrange tuk-tuk with a reasonable price. We highly recommend this place in case you would like to come to Tangalle. The place is perfect.

We did like all

Amazing place if you don't like tourist heards. You don't feel anyone, you have this wild beach and we where lucky enough to witness a seaturtle mama laying eggs. However, we really want to stress that we did it only using red light and standing from at least 5m distance, so this is not entertainment but precious moment we where able to be parts of. But if you want to have a bit of a night life, only 10-15 min tuk or car ride from the hotel is this nice town of Tangalle and it had all the kinds of food and cool vibes places available.

The light on the terrace could be cozier. (A different light bulb would already make a difference.)

The accommodation is incredibly beautiful. It is located on Marakollya Beach, almost at the end of Tangalle, promising pure nature and beautiful solitary walks on an absolute dream beach. The beds were comfortable, there was a superb mosquito net, and even a cozy bedside lamp. While showering, you could see the trees and the sky through the large glass roof, making it feel like pure luxury. However, if you're looking for parties and hustle, this might not be the right place. For me, it was just perfect, and I would come back anytime, cherishing every moment. The hosts are nice, and there was even a welcome mango juice. They also cook for you, and nearby, there are a few selected beach restaurants that are really tasty.
