Rashmika Mandanna recently took a short break with her closest friends and her vacation destination, and the property she stayed in, is on our moodboard.
Plus, the fact that she decided to steer clear of the country's more mainstream cities and choose Sri Lanka’s southern coast says everything about the kind of holiday she wanted. On Instagram, the actress shared images from her getaway with a sweet caption. "I recently got 2 days off and I got this opportunity to get away with my girls and we went to this BEAUTIFUL property in Sri Lanka.. 👯♀️ GIRL TRIPS - doesn’t matter how short are THE BEST!! MY GIRLS are THE BEST! Some are missing but THEY ARE THE BEST!!🥰❤️❤️✨" For those wondering where she stayed, we have the scoop. She spent her days in Tangalle, a beach town that boasts wide and untamed coastal waters. Resorts here are designed to work with the landscape rather than overpower it, which translates to low-rise structures, lots of open air, and views that do most of the talking. The property Rashmika checked into was Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort, one of the more secluded and lesser-known outposts of the brand, that sits above a broad sweep of sand, facing the Indian Ocean. Rooms and villas (with pools and views of the ocean) are spread across lush grounds, giving guests privacy without isolation. Food plays a quiet but important role here. At Journeys, you get all the international cuisines you'd want to try, but if coastal Sri Lankan food is on your mind, head to Verala, their beachside setting. For Italian flavor, Il Mare offers all the trappings. There's the lobby lounge for fine bites, tea and cocktails in Ceylon style while the pool bar is perfect if you're there with friends, like Rashmika was, for a quick dip and drink. For those who want a bit more thrill, surf lessons, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding are all on offer, perfect for friends’ getaways that are as active as they are relaxing.
