Come for the views and room to slow down; stay for the garden, wildlife and stories you didn’t expect. Unakanda is a boutique resort and natural sanctuary perched on over an acre of lush, hilltop land above Unawatuna beach. Surrounded by palms, fruit trees, and a water-filled stone quarry, it’s a haven for wildlife and a playground for monkeys. Our journey began with the 'White House', a two-bedroom village home transformed into a light-filled retreat in 2015. In 2017, we added a two-level building with suites, ideal for a couple or for larger groups staying at the 'White House'. In 2023, we introduced 'Mango House' a lovely two level, 3 bedroom home with amazing sea views, perfect for larger groups and families. Our incredible local team provides guests with attentive service. At Unakanda, we blend new ideas, local materials, sustainability, and natural beauty to create a unique experience. We’re committed to making a positive impact on both people and the planet, prioritising eco-friendly practices and community support as we continue our sustainability journey.
