Unawatuna Royal Lotus Villa  

In Unawatuna on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, tucked at Heenatigala Junction. A short drive from Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya and minutes from Sahana, Dalawella and Mihiripenna beaches — and close to the town center.

A small villa-style guesthouse with just six guestrooms and a laid-back coastal vibe. Expect a terrace, garden and a shared kitchen for casual self-catering. Rooms come with showers and complimentary toiletries, plus 24-hour room service if you want to keep it easy.

Take a dip in the outdoor pool, grill at the BBQ area, or plan excursions at the on-site tour desk — diving club access is nearby. Concierge, laundry and ironing services keep travel light. Free self-parking on site and airport transfers can be arranged for a surcharge. Wake up to sea-breeze mornings and easy beach days.

Complimentary wireless internet across the property and a 24-hour front desk. Luggage storage and concierge help make arrivals and departures smooth.

An on-site restaurant and bar serve guests, and English breakfasts are available daily for a fee. There’s also a communal kitchen if you prefer to cook.
