Hotel vacation rentals in Unawatuna

Great hotel! The location is 2 minutes from the beach, shops and cafes nearby. Friendly host, hearty breakfasts. The room has everything you need. I recommend it!

Cheap. Nice location. Comfy big bed. Room smelt a bit damp is only drawback. Good shower. Good location.

This was genuinely one of our favourite places in all of Sri Lanka. Incredibly peaceful and beautiful with a stunning view of the lake and just the sounds of nature. The room is very luxurious, from the big comfy bed to the beautiful bathroom with a hot waterfall shower, it was perfect! Madhu’s hospitality was expectional, we were so well taken care of and felt at home right away! We had dinner on the terrace by the lake both nights and it was the most delicious and varied local food we’ve had! The breakfast was also fantastic! One of the highlights was when Madhu offered for us to borrow her paddleboard of the lake where we went round the lagoon at sunset and saw lots of widlife! A truly exceptional place, would definitely recommend!!

The stay with Igor and Michele was just nice. It is quietly located, the pool and the many seating areas invite you to relax. We had breakfast together and the whole atmosphere was super friendly and familiar. We would definitely come back and recommend it 100%.

I stayed at the place for a week and was very happy with everything and can and will recommend it. You have a wonderful view and are surrounded by nature, you can hear the chirping of birds and you can smell the smell of cinnamon and relax in peace. You have a spacious shared kitchen where you can cook at any time including dining area. Since I am dependent on good and stable internalers due to my online business, I was very pleased that the internet was sufficient for this. The contact with the host family was very warm and you feel welcome and everything is done to help you and the food was fantastic. Thank you very much for everything, I will be back.

Located a 2-minute walk from the beach, and 5 minutes from a charming and lively street at night, this family is very welcoming and warm. Will always be there to help, and to make sure everything is okay. We even got a gesture from them at the end of our stay. I highly recommend it!

At first - super fast communication with host. It makes everything much easier! Thanks for that. Everything was good at the end, just a little minus - when we arrived at evening pool was dirty. Also on next morning there was varan (big lizard) swimming - but our kids will say that it’s a plus :)) After we asked about the pool it was immediately cleaned. Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was really great. We recommend this place! No worries about the pool we swim and everything was good :)) Beautiful view!

You will find a little whisper of magic in the middle of nowhere with this lovely house that Svava and her husband own ... each nook and cranny has a beautiful story to tell and if you happen to run into the hosts (as we fortunately happened to) they will tell you about the stories behind the elements of the house that they designed and built (So you can image the amount of love that has gone into this place)...Svava was super prompt and proactive with suggestions, tips and helped us out with our transportation as well. Please do not expect to find the luxuries & amenities of a chain hotel or resort - expect a lovely experience that lets you completely detach from your normal routine and be transported into their world & you will go back with your soul feeling like it just took a spa day :) ... it is a little cut off from the hustle and bustle of the Main Street and tourists - so you will have to use the tuk tuk to get anywhere. We wish we had more time to explore the areas around the place!

I spent a week at Meraki and loved it! Every detail—like a flower on the toilet paper, comfy pool cushions, pristine garden, and fluffy towels—added a personal touch. As a small, family-run hotel, Meraki stands out from large chains with genuine care from the owners and staff. On my first solo trip as a woman, I felt completely safe and welcome. The hotel’s design perfectly suits my taste, and I only wished my stay was longer (special thanks to Iona for accommodating a special wish of me!). The pool area is relaxing, and the yoga sessions were very nice (also for a beginner)! With an ideal location near the sea and attractions, plus an excellent breakfast featuring fresh fruits + a la carte options, and fantastic coffee, Meraki truly impressed me. Huge thanks to the entire team! Every single team member was treating me with kindness and I really appreciate this a lot 💚 in my opinion this is the perfect place to be in Sri Lanka’s south coast!

Such a gorgeous resort and hidden gem! Our room was clean and very comfortable, with a huge bed and large open shower. We stayed in many places in Sri Lanka but this was definitely one of our tops - wish we could’ve stayed longer! Food was also really nice, and very easy check in and check out process.

Rajive's place is incredible! It is on the lake rather than the beach, just about a 5 minute tuk tuk ride to the beach. The lake is so serene and private, away from the hustle bustle of the main hotel drag. The house is beautiful - well appointed, sparkling clean, great pool, and beautiful views. There are only a few rooms and they are all lovely. We stayed in the Junior Suite which was spacious, clean, and had a great view of the lake. The staff working at the property were excellent - the manager, assistant and chef. All were so attentive. The food was amazing! The chef made whatever we wanted, just ran to the market to get it and was so fresh and delicious. We had beautiful fresh lobster and jumbo prawns two days in a row for lunch. We went fishing on the lake which my husband really enjoyed and then the chef fried up the mullets we caught. Wish we could have stayed longer and strongly recommend it to those visiting Hikkaduwa! In Hikkaduwa do not miss the huge turtles at the beach - it was so fun to feed them seaweed and see them in the ocean :)

This was our favourite stay out of all our extensive travels. Dilini and her family went above and beyond to make it special. Breakfast was home-cooked and delicious, with a variety of local, homemade delights every morning, offering new surprises and flavours. The New Year’s feast was particularly special, shared with us along with some great games we enjoyed taking part in. Dilini, Channa, and the boys were kind and patient playing with our children (4.5yrs and 9months) making us feel very welcome. Thank you for the special memories and sharing your home and culture; we will be back! The surrounding nature and animals were amazing, with monkeys, kittens, and dogs living in harmony. The pool was wonderful, refreshing, and shaded in the afternoons which was a welcome respite for the heat! The location was great, with shops, spas, and good coffee nearby. We couldn’t ask for a better stay! Thank you for everything.

what a place to stay! Such a peaceful spot close to some great surf spots with a ton of great food recommendations provided by Harriëtte. Really great place to relax with great breakfasts every morning. Easy to get to Weligama or Ahangama by bus or Tuktuk. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed our stay. Our host and staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. The space is very serene, and the location is perfect - not far from shops and restaurants but at the same time quiet and peaceful. We felt very welcomed and very well taken care off.

The place is beautiful and the location is super quiet and private. We felt right at home. Berni and Prabath were very nice, accommodating and always easily accessible. They also organized the transfer from the airport and a scooter directly for us. Thank you so much for a great stay, we would definitely come again!

Thank you for hosting. We’d love to come back to your place

We stayed in Shanil's place for 6 nights. We were greeted by Suranga and his team immediately after arriving we received a cool coconut drink and felt right at home. The staff was extremely helpful and accommodating. Suranga and his team did an excellent job. Especially the food was fantastic, the chef did an excellent job. One of the best Srilanken food we had in our vacation in Sri Lanka. We had breakfast and dinner as well. The even provided our kids with western breakfast. We felt welcome from start to end and didn't want to leave. Hopefully we are back. The house with the 2 double room and the separate house with the family room is well set up and gives each guest his own privacy. The location is great with the beach and the ocean right in front of the house. With a 15min. Tuktuk ride you are both in Mirissa and Weligama. Thank you very much for having us.

Great quaint little hotel, we had the place to ourselves and very child friendly. Staff were very attentive and ordered us breakfast and gave us great advice on local attractions.

Was a very nice stay, we enjoyed the villa, pool, common aera with our baby of 14months. Was perfect for us 😍

Very nice room with high ceiling and big windows and a nice view of the river. The large bed is very comfy. Unfortunately no A/C, but well tolerable at night with ceiling fan. No cooking facilities, but cheap restaurants within walking distance. The family is very nice - and uncomplicated when changing the reservation.

An absolute life saver for our small family. We even extended our stay by a few extra days. What Dom and Magda have created and built in Ahangama is a testament to their capabilities as a family and couple. They have achieved a level of comfort and detail that is incredibly hard to reach. They have designed a huge villa around the needs of young families with various suites and rooms that tick every box. They are also excellent hosts never too tired to help out and give advice or recommendations. Bravo guys 10/10 and we wish you every success for the future.

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Jungle. We stayed almost 3 weeks. The rooms are classy, the view is amazing, and the location is convenient to all the shops. the staff are professional and very polite and helpful. The sand on the beach is lovely, light, and soft to walk on. The ocean here has fantastic bug eaves you can watch. Its fun to wade in but dangerous to swim a lot of the time. Great for boogie boarding. The food was great and the restaurant service was impeccable.. thank you to all the wonderful staff for allowing us to feel right at home.

I recently stayed at a stunning villa in Weligama, Sri Lanka, booked through Airbnb, and it was an exceptional experience for my family and me. The villa was spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The bedrooms were cozy and clean, and the common areas offered plenty of room for our two children to play and relax. One of the standout aspects of our stay was the warm hospitality of the hosts. The host’s wife greeted us with a smile and served us the most delicious morning tea with milk . The villa is located in a very peaceful and quiet area, away from the hustle and bustle, making it the perfect retreat for families seeking tranquility. The environment felt safe and welcoming, and we appreciated how baby- and family-friendly the space was I highly recommend this villa to anyone visiting Weligama

We stayed a week at Slow Life boutique hotel. It felt very safe and contained . Our room was lovely upstairs with a little balcony ,air conditioning and our own bathroom. Everything was very clean our sheets and towels were changed . The common area was available but when in the hotel we spent more time in our lovely cool bedroom. Marissa was interesting to explore . The southern end of the beach was a lot calmer to swim in. It was great watching the surfers at the northern end of the beach . The only thing that wasn’t available was facilities to cook our own food . But that was fine as there were so many lovely places to eat in Marissa. Our hosts organised a scooter for us to use . Thanks very much for everything.
