Buckingham Place

Oh my what a place …. This is a truly original and beautiful place to stay. Nick and his team looked after us during our recent 3 night stay as though we were part of his family. (Made all the more special because for some of the time we were the only guests - a very rare occurrence I imagine) The style of this place creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere where you can just enjoy the ambiance, the view, the food and the service provided by the staff. The restaurant produces the most amazing food and it’s served with Sri Lankan charm and hospitality. If you are looking for somewhere unique to add to your itinerary then Buckingham Place has to be in there somewhere.

We spent a night in this beautiful hotel, and it was unforgettable. The atmosphere is amazingly calm and relaxing; it is just perfect for those who want to unwind from the busy crowd. One of the highlights were their art sessions and the peaceful space they provide for yoga, which added a lovely creative and mindful touch to our stay. What also really impressed me was their environmentally friendly actions, like having a water recycling plant and trying to avoid the use of plastic water bottles. It inspires me that a hotel could care about the environment while offering great comfort. We also joined a turtle hatchery during our stay. It was truly unforgettable to see a turtle up close. Then we also found out that they host movie nights under the stars, a very lovely concept. In terms of the cuisine, it was very delicious and had a pleasant hint of traditional flavours. The Team was very friendly and took good care of us and incredibly kind, considerate, and genuinely welcoming. Special thanks to Mr. Arshad of the Sales Department for his excellent support and warm hospitality during our stay. In all, this is a wonderful place when one is seeking peace, good hospitality, and a meaningful experience in calm and Relaxing environment! Highly recommended!

Our stay in Buckingham Place in Tangalle was really unforgettable. Since our arrival, we were greeted with so much warmth and hospitality that it made us feel at home instantly. The surroundings were very peaceful, full of lush greenery, and beautifully maintained grounds, which perfectly created the setting for relaxation. The room was spacious, spotless, and so thoughtfully designed that every single detail added to the comfort of our stay. Food was excellent: fresh, delicious, and very well prepared. A word of particular thanks is extended to Mr. Nick Buckingham, Mr. Arshad Jalal (Head of Sales), Mr. Kalpa (General Manager), and all the wonderful staff of the hotel for their courtesy, professionalism, and very sincere commitment to making us feel welcome. Every member went all out to make us comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. Overall, Buckingham Place is truly a gem in Tangalle: tranquil, elegant, and full of warmth. We will be very happy to go back there and will recommend it to anyone who is looking for a peaceful and memorable getaway.

Buckingham Place has a magic about it that makes you want to smile, whether your a guest or you work there I never thought after our first visit it could get any better but like a good wine it simply does and the warmth and magic this place has, embraces you the minute you drive through the gates and like we have never experienced anyway before This is our fourth visit which considering we never go back to the same place twice speaks in volumes to how special Buckingham Place is. What draws so many repeat guests here, is everything that this truly stunning place offers It’s not like any hotel we know, it feels more like your staying at your best friends luxury villa amongst like minded people in a beautiful location with every single person whether staying one night or 30 treated equally As mentioned many times on previous reviews, the rooms are large airy and beautiful situated facing the lagoon and set in lush gardens. The pool is a delight and nothing beats the sound of the waves crashing onto the beach which is totally unspoilt and wild and beautiful to take yourself off for a walk along it There is another smaller pool in the nature garden equally as beautiful and tranquil The food is a culinary delight. Served in the oceanfront restaurant which overlooks the pool, palm trees and the Indian Ocean. The breakfast is probably the best we have ever experienced in a hotel. No buffet here and every plate served is beautifully presented and amazingly delicious, oh and no set breakfast times here either as breakfast is served right up to midday The culinary delights continue at lunchtime if you can manage it after the splendour of the breakfast and at dinner where a pre dinner cocktail and a chat among other guests if you choose can be had at the quaint bar area. The meals in the evening which are a mix of western and Sri Lankan are a feast for foodies like us and the kitchen staff are a real credit to the hotel. The presentation of each plate along with the flavours served are a treat and a real delight A splendid addition from our last visit is Sanja a charming and talented pianist who entertains guests around once a week, sometimes during the day while your chilling around the pool and the other times in the evening while everybody is enjoying there evening meal and it enriches the already wonderful ambience and experience of your evening I have left the very best to last as what makes Buckingham Place stand head and shoulders above anywhere else we have ever stayed is the charismatic and endearing owner Nick such an interesting and very special man and the truly amazing team headed by the wonderful Kalpa Every member of this amazing team, many are long standing employees which says it all and each and everyone adds there own little bit of magic to enrich your stay. The smiles and warmth from them are infectious and captures your heart We can’t name every member of the team but we want to thank all in housekeeping, the kitchen staff, ga
