Overview

Ready to trade the city skyline for turquoise bays and golden sands? Unawatuna is one of Sri Lanka’s most beloved coastal escapes, famous for its horseshoe-shaped bay, calm swimming waters, and the hidden charm of Jungle Beach. Whether you’re heading south to surf at Dewata or to catch an iconic sunset at the Peace Pagoda, getting there should be as relaxing as the destination itself.

The journey from Colombo to Unawatuna covers approximately 125 km and is incredibly efficient thanks to the Southern Expressway. A private taxi is the gold standard for this route, turning a potentially crowded 4-hour train or bus trip into a breezy 1.5 to 2-hour ride. At Luxury Tours Sri Lanka, we ensure you arrive at your beach resort refreshed, cool, and ready to hit the water.
