Geoffrey Bawa-designed boutique hotel on a private beach in Tangalle

Architecture & Design

The Last House Tangalle is the final residential project of renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. The property blends antique and contemporary design elements, with original Bawa furniture and art pieces throughout. Five individually designed double bedrooms open onto tropical gardens that lead directly to a secluded beach.

Accommodations

Each of the five air-conditioned double bedrooms at The Last House has an ensuite bathroom and private terrace or courtyard. The Moonamal suite offers a sunken bath (now filled with pebbles) and an outdoor shower in a secluded area. Guests in the Cinnamon Room upstairs fall asleep to the sound of waves, with doors and windows open to catch the sea breeze.

Dining

Breakfast at The Last House includes continental, American, full English/Irish, vegetarian, vegan, and Asian options, all made with fresh local produce. The on-site restaurant serves seafood specialties and Sri Lankan recipes, with ingredients sourced from local markets. Private dining on the beach or verandah is available by arrangement.

Wellness & Activities

The Last House offers massage therapy and yoga sessions on request, with treatments using Ayurvedic toiletries made from coconut, vanilla, and cinnamon. Guests can borrow badminton equipment, bodyboards, and board games from the hotel's collection. An outdoor swimming pool and private beach area provide spaces for relaxation and recreation.

Location & Beach

The Last House sits on Mawella Beach at the eastern end, a quiet stretch with golden sand and large waves, separate from busier tourist areas. The nearby Hummanaya Blow Hole and Mulkirigala Rock Monastery are within 30 minutes by tuk-tuk. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 63 km from the property.
