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.

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.

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...
Very spacious, our favorite spot was the terrace where we always had breakfast, Sri lankan breakfast was the best!
The host and his mother were amazing, helped us out with everything! So kind with children.
Very close walking distance to the surfers spot and also turtle watching. Also the supermarket was very close and the main road so very easy for us to visit nearby beaches like Mirissa and Coconut Hill.
Also they helped us out for the transfer to our next destination! So altogether great!! Thank you for everything :)
We stayed in this beautiful place and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The owners of this place is really hospitable and they took care of us start to the end very well. The peaceful background and nicely arranged rooms . Very near to sea area and we enjoyed and had lot of fun with beach side. Foods also very delicious and we all enjoyed it . The staff is very helpful and always recommend this location for clam and peaceful visit. Surely next vacation hope to see you guys. Good luck 👍
Absolutely 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.
A gem on a beautiful surfer beach. Good WiFi, zoom-enabled, great rooms and fantastic modern architecture. A hotel with the standard in the price range is something very special compare to the quality price is very cheap. Clean and very nice service. Staff was super great. it has a very family atmosphere. We had a very nice modern kitchen in our room.beautiful balcony with sea view.beach is clean, relatively empty and swimming and surfing is possible
We only stayed here for one night during our tour of Sri Lanka but we wished we could have stayed for longer. The rooms are lovely, very tranquil and with pool view. The food was excellent and there was lots to do from and around the hotel. Specially The Madiha Surfing point.
The only resort that is closest to Madiha surfing point is Nildiya beach resort.
We want to thankful to the hotel staff, that they have made our stay very well.
Exceptional service! The staff was so nice and willing. Always helping and smiling. Rooms were great with balcony overlooking the surf. Nice breeze all day. We were on a surf trip, there is a nice break right in front of the place. The hotel is first line to the beach. Nice garden and pool. The location is Mostly good for surfing, not very lively around there, at least at the end of March. Very much recommended hotel
One of the best place in Sri Lanka! Suits are very clean and cozy well arranged with furnitures and plants. Nice sea view from the apartment.
Rooftop was great! They have very good surf lessons. Airport taxi services are great and professional recommended!
I will back again for sure with my family.
Thank you for your great hospitality.
Everything was perfect! Especially if you try to escape the bad air of the city and the huge crowds, this is the place to go! There’s a cute little beach 10m next to the hotel and the food is cooked by the family itself. If you come to Sri-Lanka you should definitely not miss this place. Make sure to also walk around the picturesque town!
The hotel is located directly on beach and from balcony is amazing view on the ocean. We were nicely suprised how helpful was local personal - preparison of delicious breakfast, notification for turtles on the beaches and advices related to locality. This hotel we can only recommend for staying in Matara.
It is so peaceful and beautiful there! The outdoor swinging bed is heaven! The grounds are lovely and the pool is a perfect place to relax.
When the tide is out, there's also a small beach.
They offered to prepare fish for us on our first night- it was delicious!
Great location. Beach front hotel. Nice and calm beach. All day surfing. There are many possibilities for short trips around.
Great food. Great staff. Actually, it's one of the best places we have been to during our one month traveling across the island.
Large clean room with balcony, good sized pool, really friendly and helpful staff. The hotel is in a great location as close to Polhena beach and lots of beach bars and restaurants, just down the road from busy Mirissa.
the location is perfect, views of the ocean from the rooms - walk to the beach - 4 lovely guys working the property- the cook is outstanding- great view of the ocean from the restaurant on the top floor
Beautiful setting in jungly nature, right across the street from the beach. The host and his family do everything to make your stay comfortable and the breakfast was delicious!
Very chill and cosy vibe, I felt like home. The situation was great, 10 min walk from Polhena beach and different places to eat around. Really loved my stay in Madiha
Cozy place near the beach where you can spot turtles. The room was big, clean and well furnished. Personnel is the best but tuk-tuk driver of the hotel overprices
