WOW. The best place we have ever stayed.

Reviewed By Chelsea F

WOW!It’s hard to describe just how special this place is. The most amazing Villa we miss so much. We spend a week here in March, surrounded by nature, monkeys in the trees, squirrels running around, the sounds of birds was truly something else. We had the double garden view balcony, saw some incredible sunrises and spent a lot of time around the pool and eating here. The food was outstanding, fresh seafood each day. Try the tuna! The staff are all so accommodating, really beautiful people that are all so friendly and accommodating. We have to give a shout out to the chiefs Sandaruwan & Istzan and also Bandula. Special thanks to: Buddhima, Saranga & Palitha, and the local tuk tuk driver for making our stay that little bit more magical. Without doubt the best place we have ever stayed. We are planning on coming back next year in a bigger group.

Ginganga Lodge

Beautiful rooms and pool- highly recommend!

Reviewed By Sarah C

My mom and I stayed here in 2018 and planned our trip around their availability this trip as we had been dreaming of coming back to this place the last 2 years. This time we stayed in the newly built rice paddy villa, a gorgeous suite/bungalow with 2 private patios (and soon to be private pool). The beautiful decor, style and being surrounded by tree with monkeys running around is truly magical. It's a super short tuk tuk ride in Galle Fort for happy hours and shopping and Indika the owner is always around to take you. Thank you Indika, Dineshi and staff we hope to be back next year! Also to note the hotel arranges PCRs on site, affordable transport around the island etc,. so feel free to just book and really they can help organize everything as you lounge by the pool. Super relaxing and beautiful place to stay!

We offer a selection of local dishes and other specialties and an inviting cocktail menu

Great bar right on the beach

Reviewed By Paul B

Great place for a drink right on the beach sand. Hostel cabins looked great but we didn’t stay there. Just had a great night with drinks and met lots of cool people. Bara holds the odd party now and then and if you are lucky enough to be in the area when they do I highly recommend joining them.

Villa Olga

Villa Olga is a simple lodge situated in Unawatuna. We are not a luxury hotel but provide good value for money. All our rooms are air conditioned and have private bathrooms. We have double, triple and single rooms making it ideal for couples and families too to enjoy a great vacation in popular city of Unawatuna.

This is amazing...

Reviewed By Joao M

Me and my wife are on our honey moon and we are here right now. Do not even spend a single more minute searching for other places. Stay here. This guest house competes directly with 4 star hotels we have been and where we paid like 80 euros per night. Probably the Best spot we found on Sri lanka and we have been in a lot of places. The staff is amazing, the room is better then many 4 star european hotels and the food (ask for the creamy soup) is Just great. The only bad thing i find is the fact we are staying only 2 nights...
