Located in Unawatuna, 1.9 km from Jungle Beach, Villa Rumassala Luxury Chalets Unawatuna provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a fitness centre and a garden. This 5-star hotel offers a terrace. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. I had a fantastic 7-day stay at Villa Rumassala—and I loved it so much that I extended my visit by another 10 days. I was based there while completing a medical elective at a nearby hospital, and the villa offered the perfect balance of comfort and tranquillity. Tucked away from the main road, it felt like a peaceful retreat, complete with a serene pool and fresh towels provided daily. The Villas are located about 15 min walk from the main Unawatuna beach and shopping/food area or a short tuktuk ride to Jungle beach (unless you're ok with walking up some steep hills!). The rooms were spacious, exceptionally comfortable, and featured modern, spotless bathrooms. I particularly appreciated the communal kitchen area, which included a kettle and a washing machine—small touches that made a big difference during a longer stay. There was 24/7 security, making me feel safe throughout my stay. There was also a small gym that was open 24/7, however it did not have aircon which might put people off using in the Sri Lankan heat! What truly made my time unforgettable was the staff. They were incredibly warm and welcoming, always making sure I had everything I needed. I was even invited to join in the Sinhala New Year celebrations—a beautiful and memorable experience. A special thank you to Sasini, whose kindness and attention to detail ensured I was comfortable throughout my stay.

Located in Habaraduwa, a few steps from Koggala Beach, Josan Villa with a Glorious Beach and Sea View provides accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a private beach area. Among the facilities of this property are a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Each room comes with a balcony with a sea view. The WIFI was the best that we experienced in Sri Lanka - fast and reliable. Our room was extremely large with a big balcony overlooking the beach. It also had a sofa and TV with Netflix subscription which we enjoyed. The hotel is opposite both the railway station and the bus station which was ideal for us in order to travel along the coast in both directions.

The accommodation provides room service, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests. We had the most wonderful stay at Sundara over new year. The resort is on a stunning beach that is so so peaceful. Most of the time we had the beach to ourselves as there are no other hotels on the stretch of beach. The pool is great and the food was excellent. Special thank you to the sundara team for making New Year’s Eve such a special evening. we will for sure be coming back! It is also very much worth doing the river cruise that is near by - breathtaking scenery and highlight of the trip
