Green Escape Unawatuna is a boutique hotel with 13 rooms, two villas and a garden pool at Dalawella, a little over a kilometre inland from Unawatuna Beach. Set back on Thalpe North Road, it has its own restaurant serving Sri Lankan, Asian and Western dishes, a bar and a games room, and suits families and friends who want a quiet base close to the beaches of Unawatuna and Galle.
All rooms and villas are air-conditioned and fully furnished, and every room has tea and coffee making facilities, an electric kettle and a mini fridge. The names below are the hotel's own.
If you are travelling as a family or a group, the two villas give you a kitchen and your own space; for couples, the balcony rooms have the best outlook over the pool.
The hotel restaurant serves a mix of authentic Sri Lankan, Asian and Western cooking, and the bar, with music, is the place to unwind with a drink after a day at the beach. Guests in the villas can also cook for themselves in their own kitchens.
The swimming pool, set in the garden, is suitable for both children and adults. There is a games room with billiards and indoor games, and yoga sessions can be arranged with local teachers. The hotel can also arrange diving trips, as the waters off Unawatuna are known for their dive sites.
Unawatuna Beach, with its sheltered bay, is a short tuk-tuk ride away. Above the bay, the wooded hill of Rumassala is crowned by the white Japanese Peace Pagoda, about 2.6 kilometres away in a straight line, and the rock temple of Yatagala Raja Maha Viharaya lies inland. Galle Fort, the UNESCO-listed walled city, is about 5 kilometres away in a straight line. Divers can visit the wreck of the S.S. Rangoon off Galle, and in season boats leave from Mirissa for whale watching.
Yes. The nearest stations on the coastal line from Colombo are Unawatuna, about 1.8 kilometres away in a straight line, and Thalpe, about 2.5 kilometres away. A tuk-tuk will take you on to the hotel.
The hotel is about 137 kilometres in a straight line from Bandaranaike International Airport. The simplest way to arrive is a private transfer from Colombo airport to Green Escape Unawatuna, which takes you all the way to the door.
It suits families, groups of friends and couples who want a calm, green place to stay with a pool and a restaurant on site, a few minutes from the beach rather than right on it. The villas with their kitchens work well for longer stays. For more choice in the area see our places to stay in Unawatuna.
