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.

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...
The room is clean and comfortable. Mini jungle in front of the bed room.. Linen, bed sheets and towels are very clean and comfortable. Nice bathroom with hotwater. Breakfast was amazing and big include Home made cocanut rotti, hoppers good fruits, Egg, toasted bread, butter and marmalade, tea and coffee .. Surfing beach infront. Very easy to public transport. Bus stop infront of the property. Tuk tuk and rent scooter provide for reasonable price.. Host and family are amazing very kind and really helpful with good tips. Definitely come back..
My stay here was beautiful. Pradeep and Shanika's house is beautiful. It is completely new and clean, stocked with all kitchen equipment, mixer, washing machine, iron (things that other accommodations in Sri Lanka lack). The house is very spacious, with a beautiful garden in a great location just a few minutes from Ahangama in total tranquility. The Wi-Fi works very well and is fast, so it is also a great place to work. I highly recommend this accommodation. Five stars is low. Thank you for everything guys ☺️
The location is great, in a quiet place. Beautiful garden, close to Polhena beach.
The room is big, with a big bathroom with both a bath and a shower. The bed is very comfortable and everything is very clean.
Last but not least Sisil and his family are so nice. On the 2nd night they cooked for us 2 tuna with salad and roast potatoes....delicious.
They also lend us mask and tuba to snorkel with turtules in the morning.
Next time we come back we will return with great pleasure to visit Sisil
Can not rate this place high enough! Jimna the host is probably the nicest person we’ve ever met, he went above and beyond to help us in any way he could plus the accomodation Is beautiful. Absolute water front and a easy stroll to the surf every morning, amazing room and great price. If your looking for a homely feel away from the hustle of the big hotels and resorts this is the place!! Will be recommending this place to everyone that travels to the south of Sri Lanka!

i loved it 🏝
Very 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!
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!
Super welcoming owner, gives free mango juice all the time, free laundry and bicycles to use, really spacious room by the sea, a/c, kitchen where to cook if you like me wanna cook your meals. Near the surf spots. Plenty of sea turtles easy to spot in the lagoon at Polhena beach, nearby. Very recommended!
Owner Mr. Kumara is a very nice person. he always did his best. it's avery nice place. ground floor has a Mini supermarket. Everything was exceptional. Food was so delicious with a wide range. The staff was the friendliest i have met so far. Rooms were new and clean. Highly recommended Hotel.
We got lucky. We were the only guests here and had the whole hotel for ourselves:)
It is build by Dutch/Sri Lankan couple and you can really see it in attention to architectural details. You see that they built this place so it would bring joy to them and all the guests.
I had a great stay here! The family is so hospitable and kind. They will do everything to make you enjoy your stay:) The room was nice and it was only a five minute bicycle ride towards Polhena beach. Would definitely recommend staying here!
The location is right next to the beach. Checking in and Check out was really smooth. Nice calm and well kept place. Various Restaurant and dine in options very close by. The hotel keeper was really Nice and very supportive.
This is an absolute gem. Clean, very cheap, friendly and well maintained. We had a large room with a wrap around balcony with pool, garden and sea views. The owners went above and beyond. Wifi was excellent.
