Located in Galle in the Galle District Region and featuring a pool, 3.1 km from Galle Light house, Abundia Home Stay boasts a barbecue and views of the lake. Free WiFi is provided and free private parking is available on site.

Abundia was our last stop after a 3 weeks round trip through Sri Lanka and it was one of the best! We were so warmly welcomed by the host, got a welcome drink and wet towels for refreshment. Everyone who worked there was extremely helpful and nice. We also had dinner twice which was amazing. One thing I also have to mention is that this was the ONLY accomodation where the Wifi worked perfectly! The host also organised a good airport transport for a fair price, the rooms and balcony area were spacious and perfectly clean. I can only recommend everyone to stay here, we enjoyed it a lot!

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.

The private bathrooms are equipped with a shower and hot water, ensuring a refreshing experience. Take in the serene garden views that enhance the overall ambiance of your stay.

Dandelion was a great guesthouse! The room was big and the owner was always extremely helpful, breakfast was also delicious each morning. We got the Sri Lankan option and loved it. It was about 10min walk to the beach which was fine and the walk was also very nice. the owner also had a generator which came in handy since we were working remotely and there were lots of power cuts in that time period.

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

Everything, from the beginning till the end the staff were so friendly and helpful and they even extended their breakfast buffet as we went on a boat ride to see dolphins and whales and returned a bit late. I recommend this lodge to everyone as it’s well worth the money and experience!

    Room had a fantastic location; only a short walk to the main beach and plenty of great restaurants and bars closeby. Despite central location the room was still very quiet and comfortable. Easy communication with the host for check-in/check-out and he also helped provide a transfer to my next destination. Room was very clean and had all the expected amenities.

    Beautiful location set in 10 acres of land. Super quiet you just hear the jungle noises. Gorgeous swimming pool. Old colonial style bungalow full of charm and antiques. Our bedroom was facing the front lawn spacious and charming. We had the SriLanka breakfast which was delicious and also had supper of traditional vegetarian ‘’curry and rice’ which was really so tasty.

    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.
