Surya Garden Guest House BOUTIQUE HOTEL
( 077 714 7818; www.srilanka-vacanze.com ; Pubudu Mawatha;r from US$65)
Sri Lankan charm meats Italian flair at this personable little place, set on large shady
grounds 100m back from an idyllic beach. The three cabanas here have a mud-hut-meets-
high-style motif and feature lovely decor and outdoor bathrooms. The excellent restaurant
serves local and Italian dishes. Look for the turn at the 189km marker.
Goyambokka
047
The beautiful little coves around Goyambokka, with their turquoise waters and gentle
waves, are almost a cliché of what tropical beaches are supposed to look like. Look for
narrow Goyambokka Road just west of the 194km marker. Any bus travelling between
Matara and Tangalla will drop you at the turnoff. A three-wheeler from Tangalla bus sta-
tion costs Rs 400.
Sleeping & Eating
Quiet, leafy Goyambokka Road behind the shore is lined with several guesthouses and ho-
tels, although they are widely scattered and the overall atmosphere is much more natural
than commercial. At the main beach below Palm Paradise Cabanas you'll find a few
shacky beach cafes.
Green Garden Cabanas HOTEL
( 077 624 7628; www.greengardencabanas.com ;Mahawela Rd;r fan/air-con from US$28/35;
