    Great location just 5 minute walk to the beach and close to shops and restaurants. I liked that they provided free filtered water refills so we didn’t need to keep buying plastic water bottles. The shower had great pressure and hot water. Big...

The host Gayan lived in Sri Lanka, India, Australia and Russia and is a travel enthusiast who has also been to Europe, West indies and Asia, Property land was inherited from his parents and he built Dunes with renowned Sri Lankan architect Mr Vijitha Basnayake. It has been a pleasure to make our guests feel at home in Sri Lanka and enjoy their holiday with the nature, wildlife and food Sri Lanka offers.
Unawatuna was a fisherman village and since a few decades ago tourists have come here to enjoy our beautiful beach and accommodation places. you can still enjoy the village life and vibe, Come and scroll through the fun street of Unawatuna with great restaurants, informal clothes shops and souvenir shops and bars and cafes. Try the bush walk through to the Jungle beach and the peace pagoda(Buddhist Temple), Travel by tuk-tuk, scotty or foot inland to see the paddy fields and nearest low land tea factory, Checking out the new recipes at various beach restaurants and cocktails and music at bars are an evening past time after visiting the many beaches we have around us.
