Offering a year-round outdoor pool and barbecue, Culture Resort is located in Matara. The hotel has a sun terrace and views of the sea, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. Free WiFi is featured and free private parking is available on site.

I was with my two daughters and our stay at this beachside resort was absolutely magical! The close proximity to the pristine beach and mesmerizing ocean views created a truly blissful atmosphere. The family-friendly environment, great indoor pool, and attentive staff, including an extremely helpful owner, Prasad, made our experience unforgettable. We felt right at home, and the resort's commitment to guest satisfaction was evident in every detail. It's the perfect destination for a serene escape with loved ones. Highly recommended!" Added bonus: we were able to get up close with a turtle in the sea waters off polhena with the great guidance from the staff( and with the help of the snorkeling gear provided by the resort).

    Very clean and modern hostel. Offers a big common area with a nice pool and ping pong table. Beds are comfortable and offer privacy. Breakfast consists of different fruits with oats, eggs or hoppers and is a welcomed variation to dhal curry. Service was good (information and scooter rental) but probably due to low occupancy at our time the reception time was limited.

    Forget generic resorts! Lolo & Supun's beach haven is pure Sri Lankan magic. Steps from turquoise waves, wake to epic breakfasts & explore coral reefs with Supun. Lolo crafts your day trips, from hidden spots to whale whispers. Poolside sunsets & starlit chats seal the deal. Paradise found, we will definitely come back!

    The place was perfect for me. Staff were all very welcoming and friendly and my room was spotless. They’ve done a great job building the place and the skatepark next door. Lots of spaces to chill with friends or have some peace and quiet alone, was nice to be able to have a swim as well. Breakfast was really good, passion fruit jam blew my mind!
