5 star hotels in Unawatuna

It was alright. The location was good.

We absolutely loved the Araliya Hotel. It's a great hotel with a fantastic beach, sand, and sea. They have excellent sun loungers exclusively for guests, and the beachfront area is guarded, so you don't have to worry about outsiders taking them. The beach bar/restaurant is superb, with excellent service. They always have cold beer, delicious cocktails, fresh fruit, and fish. Every day, they'd bring...

It’s nice beach side with healthy climate surrounding

Very good location for a holiday and relaxing, Aslam in the restaurant was very helpful with great service. All staff members including the security guards were very friendly and helpful, very safe inside the hotel

Didn't get a chance to visit the beach, but the room was excellent.

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by wonderfully friendly staff at the reception desk, and our positive impression continued when we saw our room. It was incredibly spacious and spotlessly clean and a perfect space to relax in. Unfortunately, our enthusiasm dipped when we looked out the window. We had eagerly anticipated the sea view we booked, but found ourselves on the first floor looking...

Located a bit away from beach and restaurants, no direct access to beach/sea, rocky cliff view with two swimming pools which are well designed and maintained. Breakfast and dinner buffets are at high standard, rooms are stylish and tidy.

Absolutely stunning stay. Very clean, beautiful and spacious rooms, lovely setting, pools are great, friendly and helpful stay. Short walk to the town with plenty of shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

This was our final hotel in Sri Lanka. We loved the accommodations: for a family of two adults and two children, we booked a suite (it's two-story, with windows only on the roof—a dormer—and in the bathrooms.) The hotel could use some cosmetic renovations, but that didn't spoil our experience. The staff was fantastic! Especially the girl at reception and everyone else in the restaurant. The hotel has...

We really liked the hotel. It's located away from the noisy street, in a picturesque spot. Our room had an ocean view, which was a major plus. The staff was very friendly. The breakfasts were delicious. There's a café called Lemongrass near the hotel, where we almost always had dinner. The portions are huge, and the prices are reasonable. When the hotel advertised an evening buffet, we dined there...

Very clean rooms and friendly staffs. Their seafood platter was awesome. And good breakfast with lots of of varieties.

The hotel is amazing! There is a swimming pool with unparalleled sunset views, and hermit crab children can be seen everywhere. The service staff are very nice, and their smiling faces at all times make people feel more friendly. The hotel rooms are spacious and clean beyond expectations, and the elderly and children in the family are infinitely satisfied!

I stayed here for four days in January and could not fault it. The food was lovely, and the staff couldn’t do enough for me. They chatted to me as if they’d known me for years and were always smiling and friendly. My room was also amazing! I was given a free upgrade much to my surprise, and the room was clean, spacious and the decor lovely. The bed was very comfy and so high I had a box to step...

A very nice hotel with a great design.

The hotel is amazing! The room is big and tidy, the air conditioner is strong and the beds are very comfortable. Without prior requests, to our surprise, one more bed is arranged for the 3 of us. The manager is super helpful and friendly, he recommended us a lot of nearby attractions. The location is fangastic. It was such a such a nice stay and I will definitely recommend this hotel!

Beautiful grounds, very attentive staff, ready to help and accommodate. However, the furniture in the rooms is tired and the cleaning in the common areas is lacking. Otherwise, it's a great hotel.

Super nice Hotel. Amazing friendly and helpful staff. Amazing location and view. I can recommend this place to anyone traveling to the south of Sri Lanka

This was my second time at The Owl and the Pussycat and it was even better this year than last. The standard of accommodation, the food and drinks were all we could have wanted. The staff were very friendly and helpful at oll times. And the hotel's eccentric decor works brilliantly.. The location is wonderful because you can see only palm trees, the ocean and small headlands in either direction. The...

Lovely calming and professionally run small boutique hotel. Amazing views yet great location close to Galle and the south coast. Plenty of tuk tuk's along teh main road so you dont wait long (tip get pick me even to verify the price it should be). The food is amazing and the breakfast i will remember for some time. Carefully thought out and all cooked to order, great juices too. Bedrooms very comfortable...

We enjoyed our stay , the view from our room was wonderful. the room was clean and comfortable, good style for a beach resort. It would have been good to have had a kettle in our room , but afternoon tea was free. Staff were always courteous and helpful. The breakfasts were nice but not up to the standards of some of the other hotels we have stayed in in Sri Lanka . Lovely pool but no swimming off...

The experience could not have been any more perfect. The hotel is located in a beautiful natural beach setting surrounded by palm trees. The architecture and interior design is a mixture of modernism and Sri Lankan chic, every detail considered. One could spend days on the poolside loungers enjoying the vista. The food is top notch, with a top class menu serving all tastes. The staff is just wonderful...

Fantastic venue with spectacular views right on Thalpe beach. The rooms were tastefully decorated, well equipped and comfortable. The service was exceptional, the food was delicious and Ajit the manager was very obliging attending to the guests to make sure everyone had a great stay. Will definitely come again

Beautiful modern villa with every room having a sea view. Spacious rooms & tastefully designed. The beach is right infront but too rocky to swim in. Staff were very attentive & the chef whipped up delicious food. My only complain was the corkage charged for liquor including usd25 for a can of beer!

We stayed in the Yanai room at Sielen Diva, and it was possibly one of the best hotel rooms I’ve ever experienced. The panoramic ocean view from the bed is absolutely breathtaking — we spent hours just gazing through the window, completely at peace. This boutique hotel feels like it was thoughtfully and optimally designed around the oceanfront. Whether it’s the rooms, the lounge area, or the stunning...

Rooms are fabulous and the place is perfectly maintained. Excellent food, too. There's a beach, but sea too choppy to swim, and behind, a main road. Short rides to Unawatanu or to Thalpe itself if you aren't happy to just relax in a great place.

We came as a multigenerational group (12-82 in age) and were so well looked after by the team. The layout of the house works really well. The rooms are spacious but simple. This is a great destination, 10 minutes from the surf beaches, close to golf and 25 minutes to Galle. It is worth pointing out the sea by the house is very rough and not suitable for swimming, the swimming pool is really lovely...

We have just returned from an incredible 6-night stay at Frangipani Tree and could not recommend it highly enough. We had originally booked only 3 nights, but we loved it so much that we extended our stay! From the moment we arrived—very late in the evening—the staff greeted us warmly and made us feel instantly welcome. No matter the hour, they were ready to prepare a delicious meal. The location...

We had a fabulous holiday at this beautiful hotel. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We were given a room upgrade to an ocean view

A small boutique hotel right on the beach in Talpe ( a shortish tuk tuk ride from Galle) . Excellent food and friendly staff. The hotel has a beautiful pool (the sea near the hotel is not really suitable for swimming although it does look wonderful). The hotel is on a main road, although you can't hear the traffic. Recommended.

Palinda and his crew were without fault. Amazing service and so friendly and polite. Fragipani Tree is a truly heavenly place with beautiful and immaculately kept grounds. It is fronted by a virtually private beach and a wonderfully warm sea. In all perfect.

Beauty and serinity offered is par excellent! Food that taste heavenly added the flavour to the overall experience.

Such a beautiful place, gives you absolute privacy and very helpful staff. Food was out of the world! They were able to accommodate all our requests. Would love to go back.

Amazing service by the staff. Good food with great vibes. A must visit place.

Very nice place, feels like going back in time and experiencing the colonial feel sort of🔥❤️

Excellent hotel in the South Coast of Sri Lanka just twenty minutes from the world heritage Galle Fort. Excellent service under General Manager Nalaka who along with his staff attend to grant everything a guest asks for be it a tasty meal, a minor room matter. The chef is excellent. Steward Sanjeewa is most attentive helpful and makes ones stay memorable.

Had memorable stay in Era Beach.. Food was excellent.. friendly staff. Room was clean. great value for money. highly recommended.

Had a wonderful experience at Era Beach. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and comfortable, and the location was perfect. Great amenities and smooth check-in made the stay even better. Highly recommend!

This hotel may not be for everyone but it certainly suited us. There are only 8 rooms so things are very quiet and relaxed. There are a number of staff around but due to the nature of the hotel they often need to be tracked down to order a drink etc. The hotel is located on the beach front but you cannot actually go in the sea here due to the rocks. However there is a lovely secluded beach a little...

We had a great experience at era beach, the staff was very helpful and friendly. Nice food and beautiful environment. Great place to catch up with friends. Noticed that there was limited parking space. I recommend providing guests with more toiletries eg: shampoo and toothpaste.

My wife and I came here to relax after our two week tour of Sri Lanka. We were the only couple here with all the staff on tap to provide for our every need. It is beautifully appointed, scrupulously clean and staffed by the most friendly and attentive staff. The food was particular good. The manager was also very obliging to any of our requests. As we had seen the area in our tour we spent the time...

Great location on a hill, it feels like Nuwara Eliya, but it's actually Hunawatuna. The food is excellent, and the pools, including private ones, are fantastic. Private villa with 3 bedrooms + swimming pool is great for big family. The scenery is perfect for Instagram photos.

Rooms are fabulous. Clean and spacious. Great architecture design . I loved the bathroom with jacuzzi and it is totally open and outside the room with great sea view .but maintained the privacy. But the hotel 'S public area is not maintained properly. Broken stairs. Dirty garden and walls. Yet the general manager is very helpful and he was kind enough to offer me the suite room. Didn't choose cos...

Sometimes back we were at this place on our honeymoon.We were think to come back for last weekend and its really value for money Rooms are done well with clean linen and spotless.They serve main meals from Ala carte and only breakfast on buffet.Matching various and tasty food. Having two pools and what a view on sunset.we enjoyed everything and definitely comeback with friends.

The best stay ever. The environment was pleasant and welcoming. Lovely hotel with a wonderful restaurant. Very friendly staff. Hotel is full of great art. Just a charming place.Both check-in and check-out were professionally handled and easy. Thank you everyone🙏🏻 Cheers🥂👋 ♥️Shanaka Madanayake. ♥️Hansika karunarathne Madanayake.

Villa Thawthisa Hotel is a paradise in every sense of the word. If you're seeking a luxurious and tranquil escape with stunning views, impeccable service, and a touch of Sri Lankan charm, look no further. My stay at this remarkable hotel was a journey of relaxation, exploration, and pure indulgence. I can't wait to return and savor its beauty and hospitality once again. This place is a true gem along...

Villa Thawthisa is really amazing..the staff is very comfortable and the service is very good.I am really happy to have Villa Thawthisa as my weekend stay and I recommend everyone to stay at this hotel.
