The Best Things to Do in Unawatuna

Let’s explore the best things to do in Unawatuna on your Sri Lanka villa holiday. First off, we’d like to start saying that Unawatuna is a beach lovers haven. The main beach of Unawatuna is crescent-shaped beach that stretches for miles, and all the way along you’ll find a range of popular bars, restaurants and even a late night club which gets pretty packed after 11pm. For some this is a haven where you can escape surfers and enjoy some proper sunbathing or even a trek to Jungle Beach which is a short hike up the hill toward Rumsala Temple. In this article, we take a quick look at the best things to do in Unawatuna on your Villa holiday with Monara House.

Look for the Perfect Insta Worthy Activities

If you thought swinging from a palm tree is only for the local kids, think again, Unawatuna is where you go to have fun and a rope-swing dangling from a coconut palm tree is pretty cool. Unawatuna has two of these; ropes dangling from a tall palm, over a sun-bleached white sand beach. So, go let out the inner Tarzan in you and head over to Mihirpena Beach and Wijaya Beach, oh and don’t forget the social media shots! By the way each of these beaches are pretty cool to experience and maybe one of the best locations to look for villas in Sri Lanka – yes, the perfect accommodation to enjoy island vibes!

Do a Day Trip to Galle Fort

The Galle Fort is a UNESCO World Heritage Site; built in the 16th century by the Portuguese colonists. The bastion was a stronghold for the Dutch and British who both captured and ruled over the island for many years. en.wikipedia.org/Galle_Fort

Galle is only 15 minutes from Unawatuna, so hop in that tuk-tuk and check out this awesome place. Wander cobblestone streets, stop for a snack at a breezy café, admire the vintage Dutch bungalows, pose under a historic lighthouse and admire the blue horizon from the fort’s ramparts.

Explore Jungle Beach

For times you hanker for quieter environs head out to Jungle Beach. A 45-minute hike from the Main Beach, this lovely sandy bank, lapped at by the Indian Ocean and framed by lush foliage is perfect for unobtrusive enjoyment. To get there, stay on the road past the Japanese Peace Pavilion and ask for directions.

Shopping and Roti

The small roads veering off the Main Road to the beach are lined with little boutiques selling a range of garments, souvenirs, hats, handbags etc. The cottons are of a good quality while the colourful knick-knacks make fab presents. Be a foodie eat roti at the Hut Roti Shop, go surprise yourself with the creative fillings!
