Tanamera Estate

10/10

Wow ! This luxuriously sprawling property has an amazing sea frontage - fab situation! The outdoor sitting and dining pavilion allows you to spend many happy hours at the pool without getting burnt. The sumptuous bedrooms oozes comfort and we had the best nights’ sleep. (it was hard to choose between the bedrooms) and there is a further TV / Study room - all beautifully done up with a great selection of DVDs . There is a further cozy dining room in the event of a tropical storm ( which we missed ) . The property is meant for 6 persons but the size allows everyone their own space and also to come together for meals. The staff are gentle and instinctive and nothing is too much trouble. It is the perfect getaway and hideaway without having to be somewhere remote. It is certainly value for money and we cannot wait to be back.

We had such a lovely stay at Tanamera. It is classic, very private, stylishly kept for great comfort with breath-taking views of the ocean right in front and never ending waves. The staff were very helpful and kept the place very pristine. A luxurious vacation that lingers on in one’s memory to go back.

The wonderful photos of this property can never prepare you for the understated luxury that awaits you. The staff are amazing, so friendly and attentive, they are always there when you need them and never intrusive. Sanath and his team are the best!!! We were looking for a relaxing holiday with friends, the team ensured every minute was memorable and catered for all our needs well above any expectations we had. We were incredibly lucky to meet the owners and hear of their visions for the future and their excitement for Sri Lanka We had such a fabulous time we are booked again for this year and planning another visit in 2016.

We were booked into Tanamera Estate for two nights. Four of us had been on a fairly intensive tour of the highlights of Sri Lanka and were in severe need of some chill time - which we certainly received. We arrived after a long drive from the hill country, and were greeted with ice cold lime sodas, exactly what was needed, although I did follow it up with an ice cold Lion beer. The staff were unobtrusive but had the knack of being present whenever we needed anything, sometimes even before we knew we needed it!. The two main bedrooms are huge with enormous beds, and had all that we could require. The food was delicious - Sri Lankan curry and rice on the first night, and a Japanese selection on the second night. The breakfasts served on the verandah were far more than adequate, and also very tasty. We were left alone (apart from the security staff) later in the evening, but were shown where to find the beer and wine. The sound of the ocean lulled us to sleep, and the sea views in the morning are spectacular. The pool is delightful. I guess this must be what it feels like to be royalty and have your every whim catered to.

We stayed here for a week. Those used to 5 star hotels will be upset .... With the 5 star hotels. The service was second to none, they literally read our minds and offered food and drinks. The view is incredible and having run up and down the beach I can safely say this it the best villa around by a long way. Whilst the shore is rocky the swimming pool is large so you can swim if you don't feel like going in the ocean. Food wise... Equally amazing... And cheap as we were only charged for the ingredients. In all... This is underpriced and while not cheap it's probably the best value for money around. Giving a tip was actually a pleasure as it was well deserved. *** hopefully the new owner will maintain this property as it is, it is a unique gem.

Tanamera Estate is without doubt a place to getaway from it all. Located 20min from Galle (by tuk tuk) it occupies 2 acres of prime real estate facing the Indian Ocean. Set amongst palm trees (naturally) the colonial style villa takes one back to another time! I can only agree with comments in previous reviews, especially the pool (salt water / 30 ft from the ocean), the staff, the food (you gotta try the ash bananas and fish curries) and the fact it has no tv - really there is no need for one. You won't go wrong with this place. Thx Jack and Sri Lanka in Style!
