"This is truly a little gem! A fairly newly opened hotel, a small hotel of 5 rooms with personal charm. The staff mentioned that the plan is to complete the construction and add another 5 rooms. Located above a quiet restaurant in a very quiet area just outside Hikkaduwa, right on the beach so the waves and the beach are your table neighbors at breakfast. Clean, nice rooms and fresh bathrooms. Very affordable accommodation. We went into town to sunbathe and do a bit of cardio. With a Tuk-tuk it...

"This is quite frankly the nicest, most comfortable, and modern hotel I've ever stayed in here. It was BEAUTIFUL and serene, and spotless. This is a beachfront property and it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. The staff: Nirodha (manager) was very friendly, attentive without being intrusive, and the chef turned out delicious meals! Please stay here, I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed."

Boulder Garden Hotel

Kalawana

"Boulder Garden Hotel is the most beautifull hotel I have ever been to. It is located in the middle of a forest. Except for the rooms, everything is in the outside: the restaurant is located below a huge boulder, the swimming pool is in the middle of rocks. The personel is very friendly and helpfull. The food is very good and relatively cheap (our dinner was 12 USD for two). The hotel is very small: there are only 5 or 6 rooms. So nearly all of it is there for you only. I recomend it very much.

Taj Bentota Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beach view was superb. Private beach is clean and kids enjoyed a lot"

Thaala Bentota

6/10 Okay

"Lovely stay the hotel was very lovely nice staff very clean and lovely pool and grounds. Bentota was very quiet tho no beach bars restaurants nearby accessible from the beach. But there was more in town if you want to venture out. Drawback was the noise from the train its horn sounds intermittently from around 5am but that didn’t seem to bother others as much as us. If you like a beer have a few in your fridge for the moon festivals x "

Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon

6/10 Okay

"We had a nice stay. Our initial interaction upon check in wasn't great, the lady on the front desk was rather aloof and unwilling to help with a room issue. The rooms are a little 'grubby'. The floors are maybe swept but not mopped in what appears to be a high turnover property. Pool facilities are great, Breakfast great, The Italian restaurant was ideal for the kids."

DORMERO Hotel Sri Lanka Hikkaduwa Beach

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay at hotel Dormero. The hotels right in front of the beach which made it very convenient for us to go around swimming and other beach activities which were nearby. The room itself was kept spotless with daily housekeeping. The staff were very nice and polite. We even had the opportunity to celebrate new years with the staff and eat amazing food. Thank you for a lovely stay. Would recommend. "

Cinnamon Bentota Beach – Signature Selection

8/10 Good

"5 star worthy hotel on a beautiful beach. Food was outstanding with a huge choice - recommend all inclusive as the prices were also 5 star! Best desserts ever had. Great tour guide on the beach and hotel water sports. Most seemed to travel through - we stayed 10 days. Will definitely be going back. Only tiny complaint was the pool bar staff were quite slow and not up to the standards as the rest of the hotel but not far to walk to get your own. Seemed short staffed with a few weddings and conferences on. Good for couples and kids. My son learnt to surf on the beach. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ihalagoda?

The best area to stay in Ihalagoda is generally along the coastal stretch near Unawatuna Beach, particularly around the main road (Matara Road, A2) and the smaller lanes leading to the beach.

This area offers a convenient balance of accessibility and proximity to the main attractions. You'll find a good selection of guesthouses and boutique hotels located among lush greenery, often just a short walk from the Indian Ocean. The general layout is a mix of small shops, local eateries, and accommodations, all connected by narrow, winding roads off the main coastal highway.

For couples seeking a relaxing beach holiday with good dining options, staying close to Unawatuna Beach is ideal. You can easily spend your days swimming or sunbathing, and the evenings offer a variety of restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialities right on the sand. The area also provides easy access to nearby attractions like the Japanese Peace Pagoda, which offers stunning sunset views.

Families will also find this area suitable due to the calm waters of Unawatuna Bay, which are generally well-suited for swimming. Many accommodations offer family rooms or bungalows, and the relaxed pace of life means children can enjoy the beach and local surroundings without feeling overwhelmed.
