Today is yours to enjoy the day, whether you enjoy your hotel’s facilities or head to the beach. There are a few quiet places to eat after a day on the sand but if you want something a bit livelier then take a short tuk-tuk ride to Unawatuna, just up the beach where the evenings are full of fun.

Yoru time on the beautiful beaches of south-west Sri Lanka has come to an end – after breakfast you’ll be driven back to Colombo Airport in time for your onwards flight.
The south-west beaches of Sri Lanka are sunny and warm between December and March, while the summer months are a little wetter as the monsoon season kicks in. In contrast the north-east beaches shine on the opposite time of year so there are always beautiful sunny beaches to be found in Sri Lanka. The higher tea fields of Ella can get cold at any time of year but in general the climate is humid and tropical.
