The Frangipani Tree

Beaches, Sri Lanka

The Frangipani Tree is an intimate, elegant beach hotel with ten exquisitely furnished suites in four villas. It is located on the west end of Thalpe Bay, a short drive from Galle, on a long stretch of secluded and picturesque beach.

Why we like Fragipani Tree

If you want to be close enough to Galle to nip in and out for shopping or dinner out, then Frangipani Tree is perfect. You are also close to the Talpe Beach Club, Waijaya and Unawatuna beaches. Why not reserve the Frangipani Tree complex for exclusive use? All individually designed suites can booked exclusively for your group across a four villa complex, able to accommodate 21 people.

Facilities

Each of the suites are large and airy with stunning ocean views. They are appointed with modern and elegant furnishings, four poster beds, covered terraces and verandahs with suns beds and private dining tables. The hotel focusses on providing an impeccable, personal service. There is a large outdoor swimming pool with surrounding gardens and access directly on to the beach.

Access to local restaurants and cafes, some within walking distance
