"Beautiful room and location - this guesthouse only features 1 bedroom (a minute walk away from the host's house) and is quite isolated. Perfect to spend time in silence, reading or meditating. There are a few guesthouses a couple of minutes walk and it is literally 5 minute walk from one of the entrances to the national park. The host is wonderful and is a guide himself, - his wife cooks great meals (recommended the vibe rice option)."

"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...

"Our four-night stay at The Merenchi by Alexander-Kane was nothing short of exceptional. Located right next to the Radisson Blu at Gintota, the property enjoys a prime yet peaceful setting, just a short walk from a clean, quiet beach that feels almost private due to the lack of crowds. We were privileged to be the very first guests and stayed in the Terrace Suite, which offered exclusive access to a private terrace with dual views—one overlooking a serene garden and the other opening toward the...

"Amazing hotel! Would highly recommend to anyone. Such a boutique private feel with a stunning setting right on the beach. The food at the restaurant for dinner and breakfast was such high quality and some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. The rooms are so stunning and clean, and have everything you need. The service is also incredible from the moment you get there to the moment you leave. Would definitely go back and recommend this hotel to anyone and everyone! "

Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely location and you can walk straight onto the beach where you can spot giant turtles swimming. Room was spacious with ocean front balcony, bathroom clean but tired. Good breakfast buffet with plenty of options. Great base for visiting Galle as well. Plenty of shops and restaurants outside. Friendly and helpful staff."

Villa White Queen Resort & Spa

Hotel Riu Sri Lanka - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"Housekeeping was excellent and spotless. The food was really tasty and we never had a bad meal here, the spread was very good. Service in general was very spot on especially Chaminda, who took really good care of us. The kids club ran by Shashini was very well received by our daughter and overall we had a really good time hear. We would love to visit again! "

Riff Hikkaduwa

10/10 Excellent

"Our little family had an amazing stay at Riff. The beach is beautiful, rooms are good (the cleaning of the rooms is super!), food is delicious! You can hear the waves from the ocean which is so nice to fall asleep to. You can go see the turtles and Turtle beach (5 minute Tuk Tuk), and snorkling. The staff is incredible and our 7 month baby Charlie was so well taken care off (they even fixed food for her!). Special thank to Benischa and the gang in the restaurant, Charlie misses you already! We look forward to visiting again in the future. Kind regards from Charlie and her parents ;) "

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.
