KAJU GREEN eco lodges, hotel in Unawatuna

Kaju Green Eco Lodges is unique Nature resort just in the middle of Eluwilla bird sanctuary. Located in the Unawatuna area, just 10 minutes from historical Galle Fort.

It is definitely a hidden gem in the wild. Either you love it or you hate it. We definitely loved it and had an amazing time. You will also love it IF you are a nature lover, want to relax in a very serene and natural atmosphere, are searching for a different kind of hotel experience off the beaten track and shiny 5 star hotels. Be aware, that you won’t have aircondition in your room, but due to the jungle location, it gets cooler at night than in other locations. The food is very delicious and offers locally sourced products. Our favourite was the green banana curry and the oat meals for breakfast.

    I've been to Unawatuna 4 times/years and that beautiful place changes for worse. There is new oversized monster-hotel, water scooters, loud music, fireworks, higher prices... In last 2 years 90% of tourists are Russians - some restaurants are only in russian. Most likely, I am not going back.

    Unawatuna beach has beautiful water and golden sand.

    Unawatuna beach has beautiful water and golden sand. The part of the beach where I visited, the ocean gets quite deep very fast, and the waves seem to cary you in quite easily. I haven't seen any lifeguards or flags that would indicate the wave's condition, but local people were very kind to give information. If you like hiking, the city has a nice trail to a beach called Jungle beach. Trough the same trail, you can pass by the Japanese Peace Pagoda, and if you are lucky you might see monkeys and lizards. The trail is more or less 40 min one way. The restaurants from the hotels are very much on the coast, sometimes seems to close from the beach. But the food quality is good and affordable, and lots of these restaurants offer alcohol. I stayed one day in Unawatuna and it felt enough time to discover what the city has to offer.

    Its a great beach, much busier than it used to be. Some great places to eat, generally inland a bit so do some research. Perfect place if you want a 15min trip into Galle which is a must. Nice and safe

    I heard that this used to be a great beach.

    I heard that this used to be a great beach. Unfortunately I do not think it is today. Very exploited and there are many beach places renting out sunbeds. They can get away with having (very) crappy toilets because there are new tourists every day, they do not need a good review. Having dinner on the beach was a strange experience, started out good but then a large company came and occupied the space next to us, ordering champagne, oysters and lobsters like there was no tomorrow, and we were forgotten about. There are plenty of other beaches in Sri Lanka that are much better.

    The hosts: Daniel and his wife, were absolutely amazing (you’d expect nothing less knowing Persian hospitality), location is great. Very comfortable and clean, food was also delicious (cooked by the hosts; even when we asked last minute and there was no staff available due to local NYE). The most enjoyable place out of all that we’ve stayed at in Sri Lanka (7 hotels ranging from $10 per night to $400). It was a steal, given the quality. Absolutely amazing! Oh and the most memorable fragrance of incense in every corner 🧡

    Oh my God! We have seen many great reviews from this hotel before i booked it and YES, it is a great place to stay when you are in Unawatuna. a short walk from the beach in a quiet place, and we were extremly lucky because we were the only guest in the hotel. We loved every morning to wake up for bird songs and the bonus was to enjoy breakfast when a monkey family come to the trees and they waiting for their bananas. amazing. The stuff was super helpful, breakfast was excellent

Their son was very friendly. They accommodated breakfast for my toddler last minute which was very nice of the hosts. Real Sri Lankan friendliness at its best! Away from main road so no vehicle noise. They closed the gate at night so it felt safe.
