Deep South Beaches

  • A legendary curved bay with reef protected shallow water that offers safe sea swimming. Unawatuna is primarily a resort for budget and independent travellers, with a long line of guesthouses cramming the beach. Many luxury boutique hotels and villas are found at nearby Thalpe.

About Staying In The Deep South
  • The Deep South contains a unique mix of either budget guest houses or very up market boutique hotels and villas. There are only a handful of ‘resort’ type hotels.
  • It is best to reach the Deep South from a tour that goes through Yala. Those wanting to reach Galle and The Deep South from the Hill Country, Kandy and especially Dambulla should consider a stopover night on the way.
  • If flying with Sri Lankan Airlines, there are scheduled Seaplane Transfers from Koggala Lake, which is only 20 minutes away from Unawatuna, Thalpe, Weligama and Mirissa beaches to Colombo Airport . This connects with the daily 13:15 flight to LHR.

Ahangama, Weligama And Mirissa Beaches
  • The South Coast Road hugs the Indian Ocean between Galle and Matara, passing stunning beaches where the island’s famous Stilt Fishermen are to be seen especially near Ahangama. Weligama has one of the world’s most scenic bays, leading to the beautiful hidden beach at Mirissa.

Things To Do In The Deep South
  • The historic town of Galle is the focal point of the Deep South. Inside the ramparts of the old fort, chic boutiques, shops and restaurants cater to an interesting mix of expats, travellers and a large local Moorish population that lives inside the Old Town.
  • Spend your days beach-hopping between a series of legendary beaches that are located in the Deep South. Unawatuna has safe sea bathing in shallow seas, while Mirissa has a ‘secret’ beach just waiting to be discovered.
  • The interior of this part of the island is just as beautiful. Tropical rivers and lakes with lush vegetation give way to tea and rubber plantations among mist laden hills – all easily experienced by spending a few days at an inland villa.
