Hideaway Lodge

Absolutely fantastic place. Staff is extremely friendly and you can enjoy meals with the view over shallow pond full of birds, pelicans and spoobills including. Pool is also awesome and available all day long. Highly recommend.

The hotel lies next to a lagoon and is truly a hideaway from the outside world. Here you can find peace and relax from traveling. It’s close to the beach in walking distance and not too far away from Tangalle. The owners are super friendly and helpful with any wish or advice you would like to get if you wanted to take a day trip to destinations close by for example the Yala Nationalpark. The staff is really friendly too which makes you feel welcome at all times. The food is very delicious, it’s freshly cooked and particularly in combination with the view (the restaurant is situated on a platform at the lagoon) an absolute paradise to relax. I can highly recommend to stay here.

Hideaway Lodge was a real find! It has a private location with friendly and helpful staff. The food there is amazing. They just recently finished renovating their own pool. The location is really close to the ocean. You can walk along a deserted beach for kilometers and see wild turtles hatch. The village is small and quiet there, so no one will bother you. 9.5/10

Beautiful and relaxing place. We stayed here for one night, the room was nice and clean. Part of the accommodation is a large spacious garden, full of greenery, flowers, a chill zone together with a restaurant and a bar. There is also a beautiful new swimming pool, with pleasant warm water for swimming. This whole place is such an oasis of peace and harmony. Beautiful place.

Located around 200m to the beach where it is unsafe to swim as it is wide open to the Indian ocean swells but there are safer locations. The staff are friendly & helpful.|My double delux room was a decent size, clean & well appointed. The aircon & ceiling fan were quiet & the tv worked well. Couple of bench furniture & bench space either side of the bed. A clothes rack in lieu of a wardrobe. The small red bulk fridge will only accept small items.|The bed linens were clean & I had a comfortable sleep. Power points either side of the bed but note one is 3 flat prong & the other 3 round prong.|The bathroom was a wetroom but a good size so only the area around the shower became wet. Good hot water & pressure.|The restaurant food I had mixed feelings. The breakfast was selecting western choices from a menu. I was content with an omelet & 2 small sausages, mixed fruit & juice. My dinner choices were good with the exception of the fried chicken & chips. The chicken was dry & tough. I woukd recommend giving it a wide berth. I felt the prices were a bit pricey but your a captive audience if you don't have your own transport.|They provide their own tuk tuk for tours & general hire.|Overall, I had a comfortable stay.|Tip: If you book direct you will get a better price than online.

Very selfish, played al night very loud Music, also al day. This is a disaster for al the birds in the lake and al the hotels around the lake.

Away from the hustle and bustle of Tangalle, Hideaway Lodge is a real find. The location is a short walk to an open, attractive beach. Unfortunately it's not safe to swim, but pleasant to walk along. The small lake on the property hosts a variety of birdlife, and the deck over the lake is a wonderful place to have breakfast or a quiet drink.|Our room was comfortable and spacious. |Ranga and the other staff were very helpful and friendly and made us feel very welcome. They were happy to accommodate my gluten free diet too.

I have stayed here many times. it is run by a family that has very good experience in running such spaces. the rooms are spacious and well kept. the property is very safe for solo female travelers as well. they have a small restaurant, but if you are a foodie, you can explore the variety of restaurants in the area, including one that is by the beach, owned by the same family. this property is by the lagoon and not the sea. the beach is a short 5 min walk away. it is silent and you can explore the local village and go for long nature walks.
