Nature. Natural food.
Nature. Natural food. Luckily, not too many tourists yet, and it is not too crowded like in other parts of the island (e.g., in Merissa.)Avoid Matara city itself - it's crowded. Look for places nearby, where Google View shows more green color.

Polhena beach is an excellent place to have a safe swim for a traveller and can see turtles in the sea if you are lucky enough. And can visit Matara light house and Kudawalla water air hole by travelling a bit from Matara which has another nice beach.ChamilSri Lanka - 10Scored 10
Polhena is a nice village, Matara is a nice city with...
Polhena is a nice village, Matara is a nice city with friendly people. There is lots to do in this area. For example guided snorkling at Polhena Beach where you can really swim with the turtles, a boattrip on the Nilwala Ganga where you can see crocodiles. Or visit the Starfort. A great restaurant in Matara city is Dutchmanstreet restaurant. In Polhena i recommend eating at Sunil Rest, Blue Corals or Reef Edge restaurant. Walking around at night in Polhena... take a stick and flash light with you, the street dogs just had puppys (cute) but their mother instinct gave me the creeps.

Matara is great transport hub, has fast bus connection with Colombo (via expressway). Also most buses on south pass through Matara. Though it's not a good place to stay longer - crowds, no good beaches, high prices.

People are so peaceful and feeling safer. Wow!!! I wish they had more pick me like taxi services but all fare and good. Beach need a little extra love from environmental authorities. But it was nice still. Thank you Matara. I love to live in Matara for real. Its so chill out places out there in all of the island . ❤🧡😊AAnonymousSri Lanka - 10Scored 10
We stayed at Turtle Eco Beach Hotel.
We stayed at Turtle Eco Beach Hotel. Olympic or near Olympic length pool, but only two lanes wide. Quite unique. The owners are French as are many of the guests. But so many languages can be heard there. Very family friendly! We traveled back and forth to Polhena Beach (about 1.5 km to the south) for snorkeling daily. (Between 08:00 AM and noon, the water is the clearest.) Sadly, during our stay, the daily low tides coincided with - roughly - that same span of time, so we had to be extra careful to avoid getting scratched up by the coral reef. Our stay was for three days from 15-18 January. We saw sea turtles every day and could even feed them "sea grass" by hand. We ate near the hotel or near Polhena Beach and avoided going into town...

- 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 182 reviewsThis was the best guest house we have stayed in after 7 years of living in Sri Lanka. The owner had thought of every little detail! He gave us welcome snacks and tea on arrival, the room was super clean with everything from beach mats, to a hairdryer to double sheets and the room even had an outside areas to relax and dry clothes. We were advised check out time was anytime we wanted and the breakfast was enormous. We were even given doggy bags to take away any food we couldn’t eat. Highly recommended 🫶🏼
AmySri Lanka - From $69.20 per night9.0Scored 9.0WonderfulRated wonderful· 149 reviewsIt was one of the best stays in Sri Lanka for us!!! Janaka is such a great host with a kind heart and a cheerful personality. We were sad to leave because Janaka made us feel at home and he became our friend. The location is great as you live right on the beautiful beach where you can learn surfing and you can buy amazing cool coconuts. Our room was clean and we were several times asked if everything is fine. Breakfasts were delicious as well as dinner. I 100% recommend this amazing place!
VeronikaCzech Republic - From $40 per night9.5Scored 9.5ExceptionalRated exceptional· 21 reviewsAbsolutely beautiful place. The rooms are luxurious, it’s modern, clean and well equipped with everything you need. The beds are super comfortable. The housekeeper was a very friendly lady and the owner is helpful and responsive. The place is so peaceful and in a quiet part of town, but only 5 minutes walk to the beach. It is probably the nicest place I have stayed in Sri Lanka. For the price it is an excellent deal and I highly recommend it anyone, you won’t regret staying here.
JonathanUnited Kingdom - From $49.50 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 317 reviewsThe location is perfect, its clean and quiet. The hotel itself has the most beautifully maintained garden, very serene and clean. The rooms are very clean with strong aircon. The beach is a few steps away . The staff are exceptionally friendly. We felt fully refreshed after our stay here and wish we could have stayed longer. If you're looking for somewhere calm, beautiful and easy access to other beaches to explore this is a great spot.SandanuwanSri Lanka
- From $48 per night8.7Scored 8.7ExcellentRated excellent· 309 reviewsThe total experience was great! There's live music on Wednesday and Saturday and it will go until midnight. Be aware of that if you are an easily annoyed by part music. For us it was nice. There's the beach right in front of there and many nice restaurants in close proximity. I highly recommend to check out 360 Madiha which is few metres away. The outdoor shower and the toilet is amazing!
Shashika MNetherlands - From $19.07 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 43 reviewsVery nice and simple house right at the end of Polhena Beach, with great sea view from the room. Although quite simply furnished, everything is very carefully maintained and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. And: you can watch Green Seaturtles from the garden in the afternoon and even swim with them in the morning! A very nice place, no luxury but a great nature experience!

- 5.8Scored 5.8Above averageRated okay· 5 reviewsDirectly across the road from the beach you can not get anymore central. There is a beach bus restaurant across the road which was super convenient. It is basic so don’t expect anything fancy here. No hot water and okay bed and there is noise from surrounding bars. We just enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a drink watching the world go by!

PetrRussia - From $25 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 4 reviewsIt was nice and clean. It's kind of between Hiriketiya Beach and Dickwella Beach, but it's on a hill, so just be prepared to be a little sweaty. 😉 The staff was very nice and there were almost no mosquitos in my room. The bed was comfy and there were plenty of plugs and light sources. Also a nice little patio to relax on outside.
