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...
Very spacious, our favorite spot was the terrace where we always had breakfast, Sri lankan breakfast was the best!
The host and his mother were amazing, helped us out with everything! So kind with children.
Very close walking distance to the surfers spot and also turtle watching. Also the supermarket was very close and the main road so very easy for us to visit nearby beaches like Mirissa and Coconut Hill.
Also they helped us out for the transfer to our next destination! So altogether great!! Thank you for everything :)
The treehouse was amazing .. The property is located around nice green trees mini jungle so you can see lot of animals and close to the transport. Bus stop is next to the property . The beach is ininfront just cross the road and good for surfing and swimming .. The host and the family are very nice and friendly.. They are very helpful. The food was amazing and the best food we ever had in.Sri Lanka .. The breakfast is huge its enough for whole day.. Thank you very much and definitely come back again. Very
The location is great, in a quiet place. Beautiful garden, close to Polhena beach.
The room is big, with a big bathroom with both a bath and a shower. The bed is very comfortable and everything is very clean.
Last but not least Sisil and his family are so nice. On the 2nd night they cooked for us 2 tuna with salad and roast potatoes....delicious.
They also lend us mask and tuba to snorkel with turtules in the morning.
Next time we come back we will return with great pleasure to visit Sisil
Very clean and pretty new building and rooms (building in progress, but various rooms on the first floor are available and ready) beach view from your (spacious) balcony. Kitchen-like arrangement next to rooms. Large bathroom (new). No hot shower, but hey, who needs one here? 😊😊
Beach without the usual crowdedness. We were all alone during our stay. Nice waves nice view of Matara small island with Buddhist tempel.
Very friendly and hospitable owner. Helpful and very communicative.
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!

A gem on a beautiful surfer beach. Good WiFi, zoom-enabled, great rooms and fantastic modern architecture. A hotel with the standard in the price range is something very special compare to the quality price is very cheap. Clean and very nice service. Staff was super great. it has a very family atmosphere. We had a very nice modern kitchen in our room.beautiful balcony with sea view.beach is clean, relatively empty and swimming and surfing is possible
Its located on the surf beach beautiful secret beach.wonderful place comfortable rooms.valuable for price.delicious big sri lankan breakfast we had . They have nice rooftop amazing ocean views from there.best for surfers. Good clean kitchen. Beautiful garden with many varieties of plants.we can see monkeys there.very helpful kindly staff.sepa and his family treated us as their family.we definitely come again in few weeks.
The total experience was great! There's live music on Wednesday and Saturday and it will go until midnight. Be aware of that if you are an easily annoyed by part music. For us it was nice. There's the beach right in front of there and many nice restaurants in close proximity. I highly recommend to check out 360 Madiha which is few metres away. The outdoor shower and the toilet is amazing!
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!
Great location (quiet and calm) literally by the beach. Very comfortable bed. 1min walk to the lighthouse ; you'll fall asleep listening to the sound of the ocean. Food and drinks available. Very friendly hosts, family run business. Myself and other guests got invited to the birthday party of the host's little son, there was a very friendly and family-like atmosphere
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!
One of the best place in Sri Lanka! Suits are very clean and cozy well arranged with furnitures and plants. Nice sea view from the apartment.
Rooftop was great! They have very good surf lessons. Airport taxi services are great and professional recommended!
I will back again for sure with my family.
Thank you for your great hospitality.
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
Clean and comfortable little hotel exceptionally located in front of the beautiful beach of Madiha. The location couldn't be better! Rooms are very spacious and comfortable and have a large balcony with a superb view on the beach. The staff was very friendly and professional. We enjoyed the breakfast, served in their neat garden.
We loved our stay here. It was a great value and exceeded our expectations.
The staff and boss were very friendly. They treated us like family, let us use their washer for a minimal fee and served us hot tea when we came back from downtown during the storm.
+ The best wifi we had in Sri Lanka so far.
the place is built with little cute houses/bungalows with a shared pool. It is located 2 minutes from the turtle beach and 5-10 walking distance from other beaches. The staff was very helpful and pleasant.
We had a wonderful stay with this incredibly hospitable family away from the touristy streets yet close enough to restaurants and the beach. Safe, clean, quiet, and breezy. We hope to come back soon.
