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.

Set in Ahangama, 600 metres from Kabalana Beach, Terra Resort offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a terrace. Located around 18 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, the hotel with free WiFi is also 18 km away from Galle Fort. The hotel has a children's playground and pool views, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. This might just be my favourite resort on the south coast of Sri Lanka. It was great value for money, the rooms were spacious and very clean. I slept amazingly during my stay as the bed was very comfortable. The manager and staff were friendly and very helpful with giving me recommendations and booking me tuktuks into town. I work online so the plus was the hotel had fast internet and good coffee. I’ll definitely be back at Terra.
