"Boulder Garden Hotel is the most beautifull hotel I have ever been to. It is located in the middle of a forest. Except for the rooms, everything is in the outside: the restaurant is located below a huge boulder, the swimming pool is in the middle of rocks. The personel is very friendly and helpfull. The food is very good and relatively cheap (our dinner was 12 USD for two). The hotel is very small: there are only 5 or 6 rooms. So nearly all of it is there for you only. I recomend it very much. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Ihalagoda?
The best area to stay in Ihalagoda is generally along the coastal stretch near Unawatuna Beach, particularly around the main road (Matara Road, A2) and the smaller lanes leading to the beach.

This area offers a convenient balance of accessibility and proximity to the main attractions. You'll find a good selection of guesthouses and boutique hotels located among lush greenery, often just a short walk from the Indian Ocean. The general layout is a mix of small shops, local eateries, and accommodations, all connected by narrow, winding roads off the main coastal highway.

For couples seeking a relaxing beach holiday with good dining options, staying close to Unawatuna Beach is ideal. You can easily spend your days swimming or sunbathing, and the evenings offer a variety of restaurants serving fresh seafood and local specialities right on the sand. The area also provides easy access to nearby attractions like the Japanese Peace Pagoda, which offers stunning sunset views.

Families will also find this area suitable due to the calm waters of Unawatuna Bay, which are generally well-suited for swimming. Many accommodations offer family rooms or bungalows, and the relaxed pace of life means children can enjoy the beach and local surroundings without feeling overwhelmed.
When is the best time to go to Ihalagoda?
The best time to go to Ihalagoda is during the dry season, which runs from December to March.

During these months, you'll experience warm, sunny weather with minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the area's natural beauty and enjoying outdoor activities. The humidity is also lower, making for a more comfortable stay.

This period is particularly good for those seeking a relaxing beach holiday, as the sea conditions are generally calm and great for swimming or sunbathing.
