"We stayed for 2 nights, and we both thought that the food and the public areas were amazing. We also booked the yoga classes which were great. The bungalows are very cool, they are open, so you get a pretty unique experience. The beds are a bit on the hard side, this should be improved."

Verified traveller

I personally didn't like Unawatuna. We have been a month in Sri Lanka amd there's plenty of beautiful and relaxed beaches without the high rise buildings and pretentious resorts. There's some nice restaurants and you can day trip to Fort Galle.

5/5 - Excellent

Bob

Beautiful beach with plenty of food and drink outlets right on the sand. Sheltered and good for swimming.
