There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. Featuring family rooms, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace.

The place was very clean and well maintained. It was located around 10min walk from the beach, in a jungle. The only problem was very bad reception and super slow WiFi, but if you sat closer to the router it worked well. The typical breakfast of eggs, toast and fruits was included. The hosts were amazing, they upgraded our room without additional payment. What is more, they helped me when I needed charger after mine broke.

I am shocked there is only 1 review on Google - this place deserves a thousand reviews!! What a hidden gem of Unawatuna. A leisurely stroll away from the beach, nestled in nature with amazing owners and the nicest dog, Jimmy!🐶 It’s a spacious room, cosy double bed, hot water 🙌🏽 air conditioning, a little self contained kitchenette, even with a little dining table and chairs. It was really clean and tidy, well equipped and not to mention, the breakfast we had provided to us from the owner was one of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka! Oh also the wifi was super!!! I honestly hope you read this review and decide to stay there because we had a really lovely 4 night stay here. Thank you! 🥹♥️

The amazing hospitality and service of the staff. Always greeted us with smiling faces, very accomodating to all of our needs and most of them asked us how are we liking it during our stay. Most of them were very professional and attended to all our needs. Housekeeping was very prompt when asked to tidy up our room. We were also given a room with sea view and that was great!

We loved the location (the beach and calmness), the view from the balcony on 3d floor and last, but not least- people, who works there. The staff made our stay excellent, helped with every little or big request during our stay and after :) I forgot my facecream at the hotel, contacted them next day and they sent a tuk-tuk with my cream to Mirissa (25km from the resort!). We are grateful for the stay!

Looking for a holiday home?

Great for families or large parties, holiday homes are privately owned accommodation, available for long or short-term rental. These homes are furnished and equipped with kitchen facilities for self-catering, although breakfast may be offered as an add-on. These properties have their own independent front door, which makes them different to apartments.

    The resort is in the best position on the whole beach. The cabana looks directly onto the crystal clear water surrounded by a protective reef. The water is full of tiny fish swimming in schools it is mesmerising to watch while you snorkel. There are also three turtles that hang out during the day you can buy sea grass from the locals to feed them - it is amazing.

    Amazing place in the south of Sri Lanka! They built a beautiful resort with 9 individual guest houses that perfectly integrate into the surroundings. Food and entertainment program fits in very nicely. Staff and management really goes the extra mile to make your stay exceptional.

    We had a really nice stay at Galawatta Beach Resort. The location of the cabana was perfect and right next to the beach. While snorkelling we saw plenty of turtles in the water. The place itself was really beautiful and well maintained. The staff was very friendly and always helpful in everything. Especially the food was very tasty. We would highly recommend this place.

    I’ve been staying at the Galawatta Beach Resort Villa for two nights, and this was the best choice to stay in Unawatuna. Amazing palm garden and calm ocean with turtles coming to eat greens. Nice fishes to be watched while snorkelling. Lovely terrace to spend time in the evening. Charming owner of the resort gave several life hacks to make my life more comfortable.
