As the island nation takes a giant step toward economic progress with the launch of the second international airport in Mattala, Ranna212, Tangalle takes pride in being the closest star classed resort to this phenomenal development.

Ranna212, Tangalle is set on a marvellous stretch of pristine coastline with 54 rooms and suites, four dining outlets including a barbeque restaurant on the beach, a pool, a spa and more. The resort is in close proximity to the significant development in Hambantota including the international airport, the Hambantota Port, the international cricket stadium and more to come such as the proposed international convention centre.

The resort is ideal for a long beach stay during round trips, as a base for the multitude of excursions dotted around the resort and even as a quick stop over for much needed respite for those who are associated with the blossoming projects of the deep south. With the launch of the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, Ranna212 foresees significant levels of crew and passenger accommodation during airline layovers.

General Manager Reyhan Morris said: “Whilst diverse tourist sites are at the core of Sri Lanka’s promise, improved connectivity via developments in road, rail and air are a crucial aspect for today’s traveller.” Morris, an advocate of intensified regional development added: “These significant projects to develop the Hambantota district will have a multiplier effect on not just tourism but many other socioeconomic benefits too.”

Morris is of the opinion that vocational training and newly created job opportunities will uplift living standards for individuals across a broad spectrum in the deep south. He noted that the resort has already played host to many cricketing greats when matches are held at the international stadium in Hambantota and looks forward to exciting times with the launch of the airport.

A catalyst for economic advancement, the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is conceivably one of the most significant developments in the island after the ending of a 30-year long war. It is one of the platforms that will finally allow the island to reach its true realm of possibilities in tourism – Ranna212 is enthusiastic about playing its role in this significant time as Sri Lanka’s tourism takes on a new face.
