We had a great stay at Arazo Villa. Manori and her son Masanjana made us feel truly welcome. We stayed for two nights and it was great. Manori was always there for us if we needed anything. Also, Masanjana drove us to the city of Galle for a visit and he picked us up again a few hours later. Breakfast was also great, including bananas from their own garden. We definitely recommend this place!

Jungle Beach is 1.8 km from Hiru Resort Inn Unawatuna, while Galle International Cricket Stadium is 6.7 km away. The nearest airport is Koggala, 9 km from the guest house, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

The location is very quiet 🤫, off the main road even in the centre, close to the beach and all the shops. The room was very clean, the property looks freshly decorated, new fitted bathroom, shower with the hot water, big bed with a mosquito net,small fridge in the room, very good value for the money. You have lots of monkeys in the area, which was fun to watch and you can feed them( they do not disturb you). The owners are very nice and generous people, will help you with anything. Very good wibes. Thank you 🙏

Offering a restaurant, Silva Rest is located just 1.3 km from the Unawatuna Railway Station. Free WiFi access is available in the public areas of the property.

Each room here will provide you with a seating area. Private bathroom comes with a bath or shower. You can enjoy garden view from the balcony.

I booked a place for 3 nights but stayed for 2 more nights extra. The location is in the center, near to the beach, bus station, and cafes. It was a bit too crowded right after the gate of the place, but I did not hear any noise in the room. The territory is green, there are monkeys and squirrels there. The staff is very friendly, I liked to have a chat with them. The room itself is nice and specious. I particularly liked the shower room.

Fort Edge Resort - Unawatuna features an outdoor pool, a restaurant, and complimentary WiFi access in its public areas. Free parking spaces are also provided.

A 5-minute drive from Unawatuna Railway Station, Fort Edge Resort is a 10-minute drive to Unawatuna Beach.

Total experience at the Fort Edge Retreat was amazing. We loved the beautiful view from any corner of the hotel. Property located on top of a mountain where you can nicely see greenery fields, southern tea estates, early morning sunrise and horizon in the evening. Most pictures uploaded by the owner doesn't really showcase the breathtaking view from the property, they must do a nice photo/ videos shoot using a drone. Beautiful property, loved the view of the greenery village, you can enjoy horizon from the room balcony. There are few peacocks always coming to the hotel property. Surroundings very calm and you will mostly hear birds singing. Friendly Manager and rest of the staff members at the property, they go for an extra mile to make the stay happy, comfortable and safe.

    Nil is a great host. Friendly, generous and always there when you need help. He also makes great breakfast! The butterfly jewel is located on a quiet street, but still just a few minute walk to the beach and buzz of Unawatuna. We truly enjoyed the house porch and outdoor kitchen where we could relax with a cup of tea in the shade.

    Great location, incredible ocean view. Nearby there is a grocery store, a cafe, a beach with turtles. You can also drive 10-15 minutes to the main beach. Friendly host, checked us in earlier than the marked time and helped with any questions. Breakfast was always fresh fruit, smoothies/coconut and scrambled eggs/sandwiches.
