Turtle Watch Cabana

We stayed initially one night and the staff (Asanka and his beautiful family) have been really good from the beginning. The rooms (cabanas) are amazing, clean, big and rustic. Then we left for a place in Galle, planning to stay there for 4 nights. Terrible mistake, we decided to come back to Asanka and stay here for additional 3 nights. In so few time I can say that Asanka and his wife are now friends for us. Best human experience in Sri Lanka during our holiday. We also had the chance to see turtles ALL ALONE and without any other tourist, thanks to Asanka that the very first night brought us to live this extraordinary experience. A place where we left our hearts and souls and where we truly hope to come back one day. Do yourself a favour and give Asanka the possibility to became your friend! P.s. breakfast pancakes and fruits are AMAZING. Dinner is something extraordinary too!

Very friendly owner. The accommodation was very comfortable and relaxing, situated right next to the beach with easy access to local restaurants and attractions, including the turtle conservation project. Best place we stayed in Sri Lanka.

Little bit of bad smell in our room

Stayed here for a couple of nights and absolutely loved our experience at Turtle Watch Cabana. It's a lovely property away from the crowds, nestled in nature while also offering a very comfortable stay with beautiful cabanas. The beach is a quick 5-minute walk from the property, and it's free of tourists and crowds. The host Asanka took us to the beach at night to watch a giant turtle lay eggs. This was the highlight of our trip and an unbeatable experience. We were treated to great breakfasts and meals. Cannot recommend this stay enough if you want to spend some quiet time in nature and bliss.

All of the cabins had air conditioning which we were super happy about and the included breakfast was wonderful including a mountain of fruit in addition to other wonderful items that changed daily! The optional dinner for 2500 was equally delicious a with big portions. There are also a few great restraints/bars within an easy walk. Probably for many the highlight will be watching the turtles, the host knows exactly where they are and then are laying eggs due to his network of turtle watchers!

Nothing, we loved it. The cabanas are even cuter than the photos.

Absolutely fabulous place very rustic,as I remember Sri Lanka would I stay here again 💋 definitely!!

This place is so remote and peaceful! You can hear the sound of rolling waves, birds and other animals. No beach bars and human sound around. The beautiful cabanas are well hidden under shady trees. The room was spacious the bathroom has an open shower. We, that’s me and my two young daughters, were the only guests. The host took us to the turtle beach at night where we spend some hours spotting two huge greenback turtles digging holes and disposing their eggs. This was a unique beautiful experience. We were all alone there. He works for the conservation center as an official guide. Groups consist of dozens of people normally. Finally the dinner (classical Sri Lankan rice and curry) and breakfast were delicious. Kids loved it. I would definitely recommend this place.
