Unakanda is a boutique resort, natural sanctuary, and creative passion. It is located on over an acre of lush land atop the hill, a few minutes' walk above Unawatuna beach. Views are spectacular. The sloping site is studded with mature palms and fruit trees and wraps around an old stone quarry, now full of water, fish, turtles. It is a magnet for bird life and playground for monkeys. Since the beginning of 2013, in collaboration with our fabulous local team, we have been designing and building a jungle garden with gorgeous accommodation options. First phase opened July 2015, a village home converted into the "White House" containing two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Modifications were extensive to open the space to views, light, breeze and gardens. In September 2017 we added a contemporary two level building that nestles into a slope beside our infinity pool. It has a roof terrace amongst the tree canopy, upper level balcony, and lower level terrace with plunge pool overlooking our organic veggie garden. The new building adds two suites which may be rented independently or in together with the house for larger groups. The property is staffed by Manoj, Chi and Sujeeva, who have been delighting guests with gentle attention and beautiful food. With the design of every element, we attempt to combine a passion for new ideas, local materials, local skills, sustainability, functionality and a sense of delight. We hope design, eclecticism and natural beauty interweave throughout the property to create a unique and beautiful setting for visitors' experiences.
