UNAWATUNA HOTELS

    
Unawatuna Hotels, Sri Lanka.
   
   
Unawatuna Hotels at the picturesque Unawatuna beach and in the interior areas of the village of Unawatuna are in heavy demand all round the year and especially during the main tourist season of Sri Lanka extending from November to April. Unwatuana beach is studded with a cluster of guesthouses: midrange and budget. However Unawatuana sorely lacks luxury hotels of international standing., Unawatuna Beach Resort , Sanmira Renaissance Hotel and Off Rocks are among the larger beachfront hotels on Unawatuana beach. However, the tourists who prefer smaller, individual properties to large generic luxury hotels are bound to discover good options among the small boutique styled villas and guest houses in Unawatuana.

Unawatuana beach is a lovely semi-circular stretch of golden sands fringed with coconut palm trees that hardly exceed a kilometer from the end to end. At both ends, the beach is well protected by headlands. At the northern headland is a gleaming white dagoba: an extraordinary sight on a beach. Protected by extensive coral reef the bay beach affords ideal swimming conditions year-round, even during the monsoon season. During the monsoon the beach would have some brief and intense but warm tropical showers only to be followed by bright sunshine resulting in enjoyable days at the beach one again. Unawatuana Beach is voted as one of the “top 10 most beautiful beaches in the world” by the Discovery Channel and Mark Ellingham, the founder of 'Rough Guides'.

The beach sheltered by the coconut palm trees is well interspersed with restaurants and cafes serving spicy hot local cuisine. Brought straight from the beach, fresh fish, prawns, lobster and crawfish are cooked in show kitchens to serve the tourists at these restaurants. Over and above the delicious sea food are luscious fresh tropical fruits: pineapple, mango, papaya, mangosteen, rambutan, water melon and banana.

6km north of the beach of Unawatuna is Galle, the sea port, home to a multitude of luxury, midrange and budget hotels. The luxury beachfront accommodation at Galle ranges from outstanding top-end hotels to luxury boutique guest houses located within the Galle Dutch Fort (World Heritage Site) at Galle as well as beyond. Amangalla , Tamarind Hill , Jetwing Lighthouse and Galle Fort Hotel , with the distinctive character of each of those, stand apart from the rest of the luxury hotels at Galle.

Unawatuna Hotels on the beach wouldn’t be top-end luxurious hotels, yet Unawatuna beach that affords safe swimming year round and Unawatuana restaurants on the beach that serves sizzling dishes of fresh sea-food are bound to become the overriding factors in the beach holidys at Unawatuana.
