The Frangipani Tree - Unawatuna

The 9 lovely suites are spread across 3 villas, and you can fall asleep to the sound of the ocean in each. They’re named after types of sea turtle and you may even see the species bobbing about in the waves, just steps from your front door. Each of the suites has stunning ocean views and is appointed with modern and elegant custom furnishings, four-poster beds with beautiful linens, covered terraces and verandahs with sun beds and private dining tables. An impeccable personal service caters to every whim of the guests. The Frangipani Tree is an improbable juxtaposition of simplicity and luxury overlooking the turquoise Indian Ocean.

Lunch and dinner include lots of fish and seafood, as well as traditional Sri Lankan curries, light salads and sandwiches. They feasted on delicious grilled calamari, fresh yellowfin tuna and a magnificent lobster curry. Those with a sweet tooth will find tempting desserts, such as a flourless chocolate cake served with real vanilla ice cream. A simple breakfast can be served on your terrace at a time of your choosing. They were served tea and coffee, fresh fruit juices, a fruit platter and homemade bread with eggs cooked to order. Frittatas, pancakes drizzled in honey and Sri Lankan hoppers are also on offer.

Offering an outdoor pool and views of the sea, The Frangipani Tree is set in Unawatuna, 3 km from Japanese Peace Pagoda. The hotel has a sun terrace and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar.
