What Guests Said About Matara:

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...

- From $52.80 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very GoodRated very good· 15 reviewsMy 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 ☺️
DominikaCzech Republic - From $62.62 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 26 reviewsThe location was exceptional, beachfront and able to sit watching the surfers and the turtles while enjoying drinks and food from the little cafe. The staff, especially the main host guy were fantastic, so welcoming and giving us information about the property and local area. You have the choice of their 2 cafes, the seafood (yellowfin tuna and sea bass) was the best food we have had during our stay in Sri Lanka. We were sad to leave this place and will definitely be back!
HelenAustralia - From $33 per night9.1Scored 9.1WonderfulRated wonderful· 171 reviewsFor the price we paid, we couldn't ask for more. We really loved the location because this is situated right next to the beach. You get a clean, less crowded beach and amazing views. The Sri Lankan breakfast they catered was amazing. The staff, who are the family owners, were really nice. This is a budget hotel, so the rooms are not extraordinary, but they are good for the price. Highly recommended if you're staying near Polhena Beach, Madiha area.

CassieIreland - From $15.84 per night7.7Scored 7.7GoodRated good· 22 reviewsReview from a Western tourist’s perspective: An affordable, ideally-located run-down option a stone’s throw from the beach and surf that offers free breakfast. Very peaceful, quiet location with ocean and nature sounds, not road noise. For some reason it’s called Ocean Villa at Surf Spot on booking but Ocean Villa at Beach on google. The staff is pleasant but don’t go overboard.
