Thaproban Beach House – A Favorite for Families in Unawatuna
About the Hotel
Rooms with Ocean Views
Thaproban Beach House offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, safes, and minibars. Rooms include four-poster beds with mosquito nets, flat-screen TVs, and private balconies. Some rooms have ocean views, though a few labeled 'sea view' offer only distant side views. The suite features two bedrooms, one bathroom with a bath and shower, and a balcony with sea views.
Dining on the Beach
The Thaprobane Restaurant serves local and Western dishes. Meals are available indoors or at the beachside dining area with tables and chairs in the sand. The same menu is served at the lobby restaurant and the small four-stool bar next to reception.
Snorkeling and Diving
The hotel is located on Unawatuna Beach, which features a protected bay and coral reef sheltering hundreds of fish species. The reef is safe for swimming and ideal for snorkeling and scuba diving. Guests can also arrange day trips to the Sinharaja Forest Reserve, about four hours round-trip.
Beachfront in Unawatuna
Thaproban Beach House is directly on Unawatuna Beach, one of Sri Lanka's best-rated beaches. It is near Welle Devalaya Temple (0.5 km), Japanese Peace Pagoda (2.5 km), and Galle Fort (3.5 km). The area has souvenir shops, yoga spots, and bars. A handful of basic local shops are right outside the front door.
Services and Facilities
The hotel provides a roundtrip airport shuttle, laundry facilities, and a library. Safety features include a fire extinguisher, smoke detector, and first aid kit. The property is part of a local hotel group and offers a mid-range, budget-friendly option for beach getaways.
