I recommend the place hands down! The pink house next door does incredible breakfast, make sure to have a coffee there!

Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. After exploring this beautiful Island, I was looking for a super cool place on the beach to chill with my daughter. She had to return and I found my family and stayed for my last week. The best part of an amazing trip is when you find your family 😀🍀😎 The place is very relaxing, Madura and his family will look after you and when you are cool you can experience real Sri Lanka life. The food was out of this world and I also got invited to the real local food and best company. Thanks for the most fantastic hospitality and inviting me in. The parties have been brilliant so the combination is perfect. Highly recommend!!!

Featuring a garden, shared lounge and views of garden, Hanuman Heights is located in Unawatuna, less than 1 km from Unawatuna Beach. The property is around 7.2 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, 7.4 km from Galle Fort and 7.4 km from Dutch Church Galle. Galle Fort National Museum is 7.3 km away and Kushtarajagala is 23 km from the hostel. A very welcoming and completely renovated property surrounded by greenery, very close to "Jungle Beach," a unique experience that immerses you in the true culture of Sri Lanka. Although the hostel is not currently on Google Maps, and therefore difficult to find, there is a Tuc Tuc service offered by the host who will take you from the first hostel, "Oops," to "Hanuman Heights"! Very nice! Definitely an experience to try at least once in your life.
