Hideaway Lodge

Came initially for four days and stayed for a further seven days. Very peaceful and quiet adjoining a large lagoon with an abundance of wildlife. Large variety of bird species, aquatic life is also varied, monitors and large numbers of fish can be observed. The rooms are very clean, linen is changed daily together with the towels, water is always hot. Staff are always at hand to be of any assistance. The meals are great with staff catering to each individual. Choice of western or local cuisine. There is transport available to visit the town centre, tours of the region can be organised. I highly recommend hideaway lodge with our experience here.

The hotel is beautifully located. The surrounding is peaceful and the view from the hotel is magnificent - so many beautiful birds. The room is very clean, big and comfortable. The owner and staff are very friendly and helpfull with everything what u need. Nearby beaches are beautiful and very quiet.

We opted to forego the canonical beach hut and decided to stay at the Hideaway Lodge and we were very pleased. First off, location is off the touristy "*****" closer to town, but a ~45 minute walk on the beach will get you there. With that, this location was very quiet, and mornings and evenings at the hotel deck were quite serene where was could watch the birdlife in the lagoon whilst hearing the waves break just beyond. Staff was amazing--friendly and helpful. Rooms were perfect with a cold AC.

Amazing place, very good room and very clean . staff is very friendly. many birds around lagoon . food was excellent, just 2 minute have to walk to beach . very beautiful beach and very clean . henri

Beautiful little place tucked away near Marakolliya beach but overlooking a lake that attracts loads of birds and other animals to it. The owner is very helpful and also manages the big resort in the area so you can use their restaurant and facilities. Very clean rooms with AC and fan, fridge, hot water and really tasty food from their chef. From the top floor of the back accommodation block all you can hear is jungle noises and the crashing of the sea, it's a bit special. Walking on the beach you can see turtle tracks leading to and from nest sites and there is a turtle conservation / hatchery nearby (this is not listed on Google and is only 10min walk from hotel)

Wow" great place to be, honestly it's not just hotel it's paradise moment we arrive at the hideaway Lodge thangalla, worm welcoming and great staff and owner was behind us and helping with our stay ferfect, wonderful seafood I ever had srilanka, breakfast was yummy, nice clean room, lovely nature around the hotel, cross the lagoon near to beach where you can swimming it's call rock pool, Manju have always good suggestions for us to plane next trip, 10 mint walks to lagoon paradise beach resort they have nice swimming pool. Everything was brilliant, definitely we come back,

was following Hideaway on instagram months before going to thangalla and I wondered if it would live up to the hype. Well....it did, in an even better way than I expected. I wasn't staying there but I went in for a morning yoga class (the best I had in all my journey), followed by delicous food and finally, a goooodddd coffee!! It was also the perfect place to come and have a drink around happy hour, and stay and make friends until the last call ;) The staff is super nice , It was great just to relax, barefoot in the green , and watch the turtle, near to beach where you can find Rock pool for swimming. perfect harmony. A little haven, really. Not pretentious at all. I also treated myself to a ayurvedic massage owner Manju was helping me to arrange it was great (and legit). You must take time to discover this place. Stutti to everyone at Hideaway xxxxMore

My recent stay at The Hideaway Lodge was exceptional, and a large part of that credit goes to the wonderful staffand owner particularly Manju and staff Their attentiveness and warm personalities made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. Owner Manju went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable. They were always available to answer questions, offer recommendations, and assist with any needs we had. Their positive attitudes and genuine smiles were truly infectious, creating a welcoming a**osphere throughout the hotel, also wonderful breakfast we had during our stay, food yummy, cocktails was brilliant, thanks Manju again for your kindness. Highly appreciated and Recommend for future travellers.
