Nature. Natural food.
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.ChamilSri Lanka - 10Scored 10
Polhena is a nice village, Matara is a nice city with...
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.

People are so peaceful and feeling safer. Wow!!! I wish they had more pick me like taxi services but all fare and good. Beach need a little extra love from environmental authorities.

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...

- From $15 per night8.2Scored 8.2Very GoodRated very good· 21 reviewsVery 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 :)AnissaSpain

- 9.7Scored 9.7ExceptionalRated exceptional· 7 reviewsThe 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
