AQUA Hotel

Overview

The Unawatuna bay is the perfect place to soak up some sun and local culture. Nestled between Galle and Talpe, it has built up a reputation for having one of the best beaches in Galle. A “Bohemian-esque” culture has evolved and tourists can find good food and creative cocktails, safe swimming and snorkeling throughout the year. There is also some decent nightlife – who doesn’t want to party on the beach! Way back in 2004 Unawatuna was voted on of the best beaches in the world on Discovery Channel.

Other Unawatuna attractions in and around include Rumassala. A short (yet scenic!) walk inland from the beach leads to a patch of protected, tropical forest that is rich in unique biodiversity as well as mythology.

AQUA Luxury Hotel in Unawatuna unashamedly surveys an idyllic ocean scene and is the first affordable boutique hotel along this sultry stretch of Galle coastline.

Neighboured by private villas and sandy beaches stretching hazily into the distance, AQUA Luxury Hotel is private, trendy and chic. Of the 15 well-appointed rooms, 13 have stunning views of the beach through floor-to-ceiling glass windows and private furnished balconies. AQUA also features two contemporary suites, which come with a host of added luxuries including private jacuzzis.

Individually designed, air-conditioned rooms are decorated with colourful pop art and polished wooden flooring. A flat-screen cable TV and DVD player are included. En suite bathrooms come with double sinks and hot-water showers.

AQUA Luxury Hotel is also home to COCONUT - a fusion restaurant promoting innovative Sri Lankan and Thai cuisine - and the famous Playground Beach Bar, flaunting a diversely inspiring cocktail and wine list.

Both a calm oasis and a private party paradise, AQUA is stylish, modern and urbane – an accurate embodiment of the Cantaloupe & Co philosophy and lifestyle. Every guest is entitled to dictate the pace of his or her experience at AQUA. The vibe fluctuates with the mood of the crowd, ranging from beach club to chill out lounge. Ambient lounge and chill out music plays throughout the day to keep the AQUA atmosphere alive.
