“It was quiet in the night, I also liked the outside bathroom and the huge mirrors. You could also see that lots of birds had the same idea. It was nice that the owner left a smoothie maker and a coffee maker in the home.”

Company info

We are a Czech couple — Ladi and Mila — who first came to Sri Lanka in 2022. We came back in January 2024 with a simple plan: explore, rest, move around the south coast. One afternoon we drove through Unakuruwa, stopped at a tired village house on a lane between two beaches, and signed the deed before the trip was over. Eight months later, Aliya Watunu Hena opened — not because we planned to run a guesthouse, but because friends and early guests kept asking if they could stay. Aliya Watunu Hena is not an investment project for us but a long-term commitment to this place and the people who find it.

Property info

In January 2024, we came back to Sri Lanka and drove through Unakuruwa — a quiet village near Tangalle, between two beaches and a lane of palms. We stopped at a tired house: sandy soil, trees leaning inward, no grand gestures. We signed the deed before the trip was over, and spent the next eight months rebuilding it for ourselves — not for yield, but for the home we wanted to live in. We called it Aliya Watunu Hena (අලියා වටුණු හේන) which is what the local people have called this ground for generations — the place where the elephant once passed. We kept the name. In Sri Lanka, elephants do not belong to humans. Humans pass through their territory. That is precisely how we run this place. It became somewhere to stay only because guests kept asking.

Neighborhood info

Aliya Watunu Hena is two buildings on one compound: the Main House (two bedrooms, sleeps four) and the Cabin (one bedroom, sleeps two). Three beaches within 15 minutes on foot. Fiber broadband at 100 Mbps. A dedicated workspace — built for our own remote work first.
