Colombo airport to Unawatuna taxi

Unawatuna is a sheltered bay beside Galle, with calm water, guesthouses and beachside restaurants. It is where our own office is based, so local knowledge comes as standard.
The last stretch off the main road is narrow and busy in the high season. Your driver will confirm the best approach to your door and message you once close.
