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.

“The hotel enjoys a prime spot directly on Unawatuna Beach, perfect for those eager to dive into water sports or simply soak up the sun. I appreciate the artistic touches in the suites, which enhance the local Sri Lankan vibe and contribute to a memorable stay. Dining at the Thaprobane Restaurant, with its beachside charm, is a definite highlight-mismatched furniture adds to its unique, laid-back appeal.”
