"The best breakfasts that we had in Sri Lanka! The hosts are very kind and helpful! Beds are comfortable and showers are nice. Common space and use of a fridge is great too. Location was walkable to some beaches."

"There seemed to be a problem with small ants but I guess that is expected in the tropics near the beach."

"Easy check in. Facilities were good. It’s run by a family. They are sweet and are helpful. Also guided to explore nearby places"

"The family that runs this hotel are all amazing and they do everything to make you feel at home and enjoy your stay. The room is very clean and has probably some of the best sea views over the jungle you will ever see. Thank you for everything."

"Aura Villa is a lovely family-run property in a fantastic location in Unawatuna. Everything you need is close by, with beaches, cafes, and local attractions easily accessible on foot, or just a short bus or tuk-tuk ride away. My room was exceptionally clean and comfortable throughout my stay. I stayed in a top-floor Double Deluxe room with a corner aspect, which was filled with natural light and had a beautiful view from the balcony. The room was well set up with both a ceiling fan and air conditioning, making it comfortable at all times of the day. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was spotless with reliable hot water. The space felt calm, well cared for, and thoughtfully maintained. After spending 23 days here, Aura Villa truly felt like a home away from home. The welcoming atmosphere and attention to cleanliness made it a place I was always happy to return to. I would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Unawatuna."

"The room and the bathroom are really clean. Hosts are nice and helpful. The walk to the nearest beach is really short, but if you want to go to the Jungle Beach, be prepared for a 20min walk. The bus stop is also nearby so it's perfect if you're going by the bus."

"The balcony doesn't have railings so it's really unsafe to use. AC works too well I'd say. I couldn't turn it down so it was either freezing or turned off and got hot. Bidet isn't working. On our second night there was a dog in the hallway near our room and it was barking all night. It was really disturbing."

"Family-run accommodation with very helpful people who will help you arrange whale safari and taxi rides. The Jungle beach furthest away, at the peace pagoda is super nice and great for sunset views. Just down on the Main Street are multiple options for local food"

"If attempting to walk to Jungle beach, bring water. It is I bit of a climb and quite hot. Better to take a Tuk"

Guest reviews

"The property was beautiful. Great amenities (some of the hottest shower water I’ve ever had while traveling!) the ac works great and the bed is very comfortable along with very friendly welcoming workers."

"The hosts are very kind and hospitable, and provided a good breakfast. Beautiful view of a waterfall."

Avis de Joseph Saddle Cottage

"Absolutely beautiful resort right on the beach. It was the perfect place to relax and unwind. The food was delicious, the yoga classes were amazing, and everyone working there was so friendly and accommodating. I loved every minute of my stay and would definitely come back!"

"What an unforgettable stay! The location of this camp is beautiful and perfectly located for the safari tour. You have direct access to the dune area during sun set hours. Just be aware that you will have to walk quite a bit through deep sand and there are a lot of nature sounds during the night."

"It was the best booking for a trip to Sri Lanka. Clean and comfortable room, beautiful garden with birds and animals and the most wonderful host. There is a small cozy beach nearby, and the center is 5 minutes by tuk-tuk. Definitely recommend!"

"We had a great room at the top of the stairs Little table and chairs outside Great location 2 mins down a little side street right off the main drag Family are lovely!"

"A wonderful stay at Ceylon Olive. The room and bathroom were stunning, clean and spacious with a lovely terrace to sit out for breakfast with the monkeys! The team were helpful and attentive, always on hand to provide us a tuk tuk to and from the local areas. I would definitely recommend staying here for anyone looking to visit Galle / Unuwatuna."

Avis de Chelsea Ceylon Olive Galle
