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!!!
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...

Neranda LakshithaChina - From $22 per night9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 31 reviewsLovely place in SK Town We loved Guillet beach home hosted by Lucky, with his lovely wife and daughter. Very welcoming, always there to help if we needed anything. The rooms are very clean and comfortable, bigger than shown on the pictures. A/C, hot water, everything you need. The kitchen facilities were perfect, with a fridge and all cookware we needed. They provided us spices. For this honest price you get quality and a calm environment. Thank you Lucky and thanks to your family. 🙏🏻DavidCanada
- From $22.68 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 54 reviewsSumi and Mal are amazing hosts and made us feel like home since the first moment we arrived. We were supposed to stay 3 nights but ended up staying over 2 weeks. Breakfast and dinners Sumi and Mal cooked were super delicious and we got to eat dinners also with their friends and family. I am glad we found a Sri Lankan family from Polhena. Room was spotless and was also cleaned during our stay. Location was excellent, close to main road and Polhena / Madiha beaches.HannaFinland
- 10Scored 10ExceptionalRated exceptional· 21 reviewsThe property is beautifully designed and the build quality of the villas and rooms is very high. It’s located on an uncrowded beach with few houses and great waves. The owners are the best and most experienced hosts we’ve ever had and made us feel at home and welcome from the first minute we arrived. The staff is super friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel in paradise. Bonus: a superb pool area and heavenly yet affordable massages and great food.

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!
