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...
We loved our stay at Lakraj.
The location is wonderful, easy walks to restaurants and The doctor's house.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful.
Our first room didn't have a TV so we were easily moved to a new room with wonderful sea and pool views 😀
We hired a scooter right across the road and they organized a driver for us for a safari tour at Udawalwe safari about an hour and half drive.
The hotel pool was awesome, a natural sea pool. We saw turtles swimming right outside as well. All in all a wonderful experience
This was the best guest house we have stayed in after 7 years of living in Sri Lanka. The owner had thought of every little detail! He gave us welcome snacks and tea on arrival, the room was super clean with everything from beach mats, to a hairdryer to double sheets and the room even had an outside areas to relax and dry clothes. We were advised check out time was anytime we wanted and the breakfast was enormous. We were even given doggy bags to take away any food we couldn’t eat. Highly recommended 🫶🏼
Amazing place located in an attractive surf point with very friendly and supportive staff. The hotel is just next to the beach and guest can enjoy every single second.
Very clean and clam rooms with comfortable large beds, large bathroom with amazing sea view.
I have never seen such a wonderful place in downsouth region of Sri Lanka.
Very delicious breakfast with tasty Sri lankan natural spices.
I will definitely visit again ❤🇱🇰
Thank you The Ocean Villa for the valuble hospitality.
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! Kaine & Kate
Beautiful house nestled amongst the trees. Lovely to sit outside and watch the animals go by. It felt like our own private slice of paradise in Sri Lanka! Only a short distance walk from the beach and main part of town.
The house was spacious and clean and the hosts were always available if we ever needed anything. Super friendly and welcoming, we felt very relaxed during our stay.
We even stayed for an extra week we loved it so much!
Thanks again🙏
For 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.
This is an absolutely idyllic place, literally right on the ocean and a 10 minute walk to Polhena beach and loads of delicious food. The room was spacious and the fridge freezer made life so easy. Lovely terrace outside the room and sleeping with the sound of the ocean was amazing. We felt really welcome and Ruzaik is so friendly and helpful, we would have been lost without him!
As a backpacker and a digital nomad I had the best experience that I could ever dream of. Josh, Charlotte and the wonderful stuff hosted us and took care of all the we needed. the vibe in the hostel is very good and there are many backpackers and nice people. I highly reccomand the place. the facilities are also really really good and the place is brand new.
Directly across the road from the beach you can not get anymore central. There is a beach bus restaurant across the road which was super convenient. It is basic so don’t expect anything fancy here. No hot water and okay bed and there is noise from surrounding bars. We just enjoyed sitting on the balcony with a drink watching the world go by!
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!
Amazing private hotel, cozy, nice pool, great location facing the beach. The villas are well located so that there is privacy for all guests. The beach is great for surfing and swimming, clean sand, not many people. Myriam and Jean made sure that our stay was enjoyable and Axel helped us ride our first waves. Lobster dinner was the best
Gorgeous place just by the beach the view is amazing the place wasn't very crowded which allowed us to enjoy the calm.
Really nice natural plant decorations in the hotel and rooms.
This is a spot if you are looking for a surf vacation you can rent boards at the hotel for cheap prices.
You can enjoy your vacation highly in this place.
Right on the beach road just steps away from the beach. Can't beat this location. Easy to walk everywhere. Room was very clean. Ac worked well. Just turn it on before you head out for dinner and it's perfect by the time you get back. Lovely host, sweet and friendly. Dining options right in front of you on the beach.
Quiet hotel in a quiet area,restaurant and bar right on the beach with most rooms set back in a separate building across a quiet beach road. Food and drinks prices reasonable,swimming pool. Very helpful and attentive front desk manager.
Nice starnad of the facilities, great breakfast (we asked for Sri Lanka specials), close to the beach and to bus stop. Clean rooms with all you would expect from a nice, budget hotel. Helpful owner and staff.
I stayed there twice. And I'll be back! I saw the crocodile in the river! Very clean and cozy place. Located in the old fort. Close to the bus station and to the beach
Wonderful stay! The host was pleasant and welcoming. Facilities were clean and very comfortable. If you find yourself in Matara swing by Sunny Lanka and pay a visit.
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
Hosts were amazing and the coffee shop at the property is delicious. Also it is right on the beach and generally has a great vibe. Also the wifi was insanely good!
