Had a very pleasant stay at Slow. True to its name, the place is very relaxing and has an amazing view. However, do not that the climb is very steep and not accessible by regular cars. The host provides a pick-up from the main road in its tuk tuk....

Geweldige locatie in Tangalle. Vlak aan de kust, tegen een hele steile helling. We hadden onze eigen tuktuk en kwmen zonder problemen boven. Heel mooi uitzicht over de zee en het ligt heel erg rustig. Prachtige B&B van een Franse eigenaar. De...

Wat een heerlijke kleinschalige plek, met zulke lieve mensen! Alles was zo fijn, de prachtige kamers, heerlijk ontbijt en fijne tuin. En natuurlijk iedere keer na een stranddag even een zelfgemaakte ‘galato’ als beloning voor de steile klim omhoog…

Property info

SLOW, it's time for a break : Nestled between the jungle and the ocean, you will enjoy the quietness of our villa and garden. Built on top of the hill, the property offers a breathtaking view over Unakuruwa Bay. The beach below is less than 5 minutes walk, perfect to swim, snorkle and surf. Our tropical garden, its majestic tree and the local wildlife living around are an invitation to slow down. Take your time. Enjoy every moment. Birds singing at sunrise. Soothing breeze in the middle of the day. The flavour of a ripe fruit. The grimace of a monkey watching you... before jumping back into the jungle. The color of the stones at sunset. The magic of a moonlight night. Access to the villa is via a sloping path from the main road. Vehicles can park at the top of this slope. The uphill walk, a bit sporty, is rewarded by the breathtaking view, the calm and freshness you will enjoy from the hilltop.

Neighborhood info

The villa is located in the heights of Unakuruwa and all points of interest in the village are at walking distance. There are several beaches below. Unakuruwa beach (less than 5 minutes) is a fishing bay, perfect for surfing, snorkeling, bodyboarding or swimming. The bay is protected and allows to bathe safely with children most of the time. A little further (10-15 minutes), you will find paradise beaches such as Silent Beach and Walatha Jungle Beach. There are small shops in the village (grocery, fruits and vegetables, seafood, etc.) and several restaurants (local food like rice & curry, grilled fish and seafood as well as western food). We can also connect you to local partners offering experiences such as surfing lesson, srilankan cooking class, lagoon kayak, yoga, massage... The main town nearby is Tangalle (less than 10 minutes by tuktuk), where you will find a big market, craft shops, all kind of stores and services (health, banks, etc) and 2 supermarkets. If you are looking for a more lively vibe for a change, Hiriketiya (15 min by tuktuk) offers other attractions: many western restaurants, cafes, bars, shops... Hiriketiya is also a nice bay, very popular for surfing.
