Kotamba is a one bedroom beach front simple but stylish “hideaway” with its own garden. Its situated within the anchorage on the western end of the two kilometre long, crescent shaped, sandy and tranquil Mawella Beach near Tangalle on the Indian Ocean in the very south of Sri Lanka. Kotamba is named after the tree in the garden.

We have a large pool and pool house shared with only two other hideaways.

Fully staffed including a shared cook.

Living

Kotamba's bedroom has a large double bed (six foot wide) with a mosquito net and ceiling fan. The living room has two full sized sofas that can double up as beds for children or other guests (they also have special sized sheets. All the sheets are 100% white cotton). The bedroom has an ensuite bathroom finished in traditional Sri Lankan polished plaster with a large shower, loo and basin.

The prevailing on shore sea breeze varies in strength but generally provides Kotamba with a cool and airy atmosphere augmented by ceiling fans in all rooms. It does not have air conditioning.

Eating

Kotamba is fully equipped for self catering with china, glasses and cookware. The kitchen has a fridge, small oven and a separate gas hob. It does not have a dishwasher or microwave.

Alternatively, guests can book and eat local restaurants at the nearby hotels including Amanwella, Buckingham Place, Coco Tangalle or the small cafes on Mawella Beach.

Kotamba and the other two hideaways owned by the same team, share an onsite manager, a cook and a cleaning team.

If you like, the team will shop, prepare, serve and tidy up after meals. You choose what you would like to eat, the team will purchase in the local town, subject to availability, and you then pay just the retail cost of the ingredients plus transport.
