Location

Located at 812 Matara Road in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka, The Frangipani Tree is positioned just 50 meters from a public sandy beach on the first shoreline. It lies approximately 8 km from the historic Galle Fort and 62 km from Bentota River Airport (BJT). The nearest notable beaches include Wijaya and Delawella beaches about 820 meters away.

The hotel is set adjacent to a main road (the A2), but many guests report that ocean sounds generally mask traffic noise.

Tips

• Book a sea view or seafront room on the second floor for the best ocean views.
• Be prepared for noisy air conditioning in some rooms and request a room change if necessary.
