Welcome to Tanderra
Sri Lanka South Coast Villa - Private, Pristine and Perfectly Yours...
Located on a secluded stretch of the pristine Kalametiya Beach, this exclusive beach villa occupies a rare and idyllic position between the shimmering Indian Ocean and a tranquil lagoon—making it one of the most enchanting of all Tangalle villas.
Conceived and built by an expatriate family from Sydney, the villa takes its name Tanderra—meaning “a restful place” in the language of the Indigenous Australians. True to its name, Villa Tanderra embraces the natural beauty of its setting, designed to capture the cooling ocean breezes and the rhythm of coastal life.
Offering relaxed, open-plan living, the villa is a sanctuary where friends and families can gather to swim, explore, feast, or simply unwind. Whether basking in the golden sunsets, discovering the nearby wildlife, or enjoying leisurely meals together, Villa Tanderra provides a timeless escape on one of Sri Lanka’s most breathtaking coastlines.
