Sumimal Resort Polhena, hotel in Matara

Located in Matara, 600 metres from Polhena Beach, Sumimal Resort Polhena provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant.

We had a wonderful stay with Summi and Mal. The house is very large and very beautiful. The room is very pleasant and above all there is a magnificent terrace where we had breakfasts and dinners. The food prepared by Mal is very good and very plentiful. We were welcomed by a very warm family and it was very pleasant to chat in the evening with Sara, Chathmi and Mal. In short, you understand, we highly recommend this address. I forgot to say that the family rented us a scooter during our stay for an extremely reasonable price. We were able to explore the entire region. Early in the morning we went swimming with the turtles. It's a wonderful memory. In short, you can go there without hesitation.

    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.

    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 used the 2 bicycles to explore the countryside. Self serve laundry, kitchen and drinking water on site were greatly appreciated. Also a ride to the bus stop when we were leaving.
