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...

- 9.8Scored 9.8ExceptionalRated exceptional· 193 reviewsThis 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 🫶🏼

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.

- From £25.51 per night9.6Scored 9.6ExceptionalRated exceptional· 40 reviewsBeautiful 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🙏
ZackaryUnited Kingdom - From £12.47 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.

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.
