We feel like we have no words for this place. Let me start by saying, if you doubt between staying 1 or 2, or 2 or 3, or 3 or 4 days, allways go for the most days because you will regret having to leave. This is one of the most special and wonderfull places we have ever been. First of all, the bay of Unakuruwa is everything your mind can imagine when you think of a tropical beach. Though the south coast of Sri Lanka had many beatifull beaches (we visited quite a few) this one is unique for it is the perfect combination of authentic Sri Lankan fishermans village (with the boats lying on the beach and you can see all the fisherman going early in the morning) but also some facilities being present which makes the stay comfortable as a visitor. There is a bar, and a lovely little restaurant (Moon Cabanna, where we stayed one night after we sadly couldn't stay here any longer, also really, really, wonderfull) where you can have the freshest fruit shakes and coconut water, als wel as tasty meals (both local as more Westernstyle). The beach itself is great for swimming, and there is hardly anyone there. I think that on a daily basis, about 10 tourists stay in a room in Unakuruwa, and about 20 visit with a tuktuk from somewhere else and thats it. So at any given point, there was a maximum of 10 people on the beach, excluding the fishermen. Off course, tourism is low because of corona right now, but even if you would double those numbers, you still essentially have the beach to yourself. Also good to know, in some parts of Sri Lanka, you can feel a little watched by the locals for walking around on the beach in a bikini, but that wasnt the case here. Now thats all about Unakuruwa beach, but this accomodation brings even more to the table. I know sometimes places say 'with a beach view' and you have to glare between some trees so see the sea 200 metres away, not here.

As mentioned, there could be some more space for your stuff, and a bedlight would be nice, but we feel that even if the price per night was 2 times what it is, we still wouldn't be allowed to complain about that.

This was the kindest family, we have ever met. Even though we spent there only one night we felt like part of the family. They made us dinner and breakfast and let us try the coconuts from their garden. We called them 2h before we arrived and they did everything they can to welcome us. 1.5 years they haven't had guests due to the covid pandemic. The stars rather present the potential of the accommodation so give them a few more days and they have the bungalows 15m away from the beach prepared. 100% worth it!

Not entirely ready for guests which is understandable since we called them 2 h before we arrived. They didn't welcome guests for 1.5 years before due to the covid pandemic.

This family is super sweet, warm and welcoming! Especially our little daughter enjoyed the familiar atmosphere and friendliness. The room is almost next to the beach. You can be at home and feel like you are on the beach which was great with a small kid! The father is a fisherman and they will prepare the catch of the day for you if you like as well as many other delicious curries. We could even prepare an ambarella curry with them one day with ambarellas from their garden. In the morning we enjoyed drinking our coffee on the view terrace next to their house from where you can see the surfers well. The room could have more possibilities to put your stuff, some more shelves would have been really helpful. The bed is very big and comfy, good moskito net but the fan really needs to be replaced, it broke down a couple of times during our stay (no air con here but really not needed with the sea breeze) Also the breakfast could be a little better and more.

The best experience of homestay in Sri Lanka. The room is clear, clean and there is some air. The bed is huge and super comfortable. There is a great terrace with see view, and it's 30 meters from the beach. It's perfect. The family who's running the place is extraordinary! So kind and interesting. They will help you the best they can, and try to satisfy all your wishes despite of the fact they don't have much. The best people I've ever met! I felt like home. Thank you so much Hope to see you soon again!

Wonderful experience! Good room & heartfull familly hosts. Very good room, sleeping well with the wave's sound. Big confortable new bed, quality mattress. Easy to use mosquito net. Sometimes we did not sleep with the fan cause it's so close to the océan, we felt the chill of the seabreaze. The familly was so nice. Really kind people who love to help and share with others. Thanks for the cooking lessons ans the tasty breakfast I recommaned this place and this smal remonte fisherman beach.
