Ridee Villa  

On Unawatuna Bay in southern Sri Lanka, Ridee Villa is a boutique guesthouse-style villa a short walk from Unawatuna Beach and just 2 minutes from the Unawatuna Diving Center. Galle City is about a 10-minute drive and Galle Fort around 15 minutes away.

Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms, traditional dark-wood furnishings, warm lighting, a work desk and phone. The place runs a home-hotel concept—amiable owners on hand—so expect a calm, personalized stay rather than a mainstream resort. A shared kitchen is also available.

On-site restaurant, free Wi-Fi, free parking and a massage room with Ayurveda options. There’s a library, BBQ area, tour desk and easy access to diving and vintage car tours around Galle. Front desk is 24-hour and the property offers laundry, dry cleaning, car rental and a safe-deposit box.

A conference hall is available for meetings, board sessions or interviews, and the 24-hour desk can assist with arrangements. Free Wi-Fi and on-site parking add practical convenience for business travelers.

The villa’s restaurant serves Sri Lankan and Western dishes, with room service on request. Expect local flavors and relaxed meals after a day on the bay.
