Wake up to the sound of the waves
"The hotel is ina quiet part of Unawatuna. You wake to the sound of the waves. Peacocks and moneys are all around. The pool is lovely and restaurant has good food/ drinks and service. The reception staff were fabulous and took care of all my needs."

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.
