Hotel Suisse

Green Palace Hotel is a modest budget property in Tangalle, on Sri Lanka's quiet southern coast. The stay is straightforward and economical — the kind of unpretentious base that suits travellers more interested in the area's beaches than in hotel frills. Rooms are simple and clean, aimed squarely at travellers who prioritise location over luxury.

Tangalle is one of the island's calmest coastal towns, with long sandy stretches such as Silent Beach and Rekawa nearby. The famous turtle-watching shores of Rekawa, where nesting and hatchlings draw visitors at night, are a short drive away. Mulkirigala Rock Temple and the Hummanaya blowhole make good half-day excursions. Good for budget travellers who want an affordable roof over their heads while exploring the south coast.
