Talalla Retreat

Talalla Retreat is a lovely boutique hotel which had barely been constructed when the 2004 tsunami hit, but then it was reborn after funds were raised and with help from the locals. The resort hired tsunami victims as staff as a way of payback for how much they helped after all the wreck and damage.
