I spend 6 nights at Arazo villa in December 2023. Since the first moment it really felt like home, being situated just about 10 minutes walk from the Unawatuna beach yet still very quiet and in the middle of jungle. It is a beautiful clean villa owned by amazing and caring Sri lankan lady who was trully like a mum to me. She is a great cook, will prepare huge delicious breakfasts, lunch, dinner, whatever you need. Her son helps her with everything so the communication was very smooth and easybefore my arrival too, I even came 1 day in advance and it was not a problem. You will love local dogs Tutu and Jimmy who was like my security. It was trully local experience which is hard to find in busy touristy Unawatuna. Doing business there is not easy for locals, so if you can, come to stay at Arazo villa, you will be rewarded by fair price, warm welcome, friendly atmosphere created by like minded people, great food and warm smiles. From practical side, the wifi and hot water are there with occasional blackouts which is typical for this location, the rooms are basic but totally sufficient for the cost of it. Supermarket, restaurant, beach with sunbeds and bus stop are just about 10mins walk away. The hill is there but nothing too big, you can always use tuktuk if you are too tired to walk up there, but if you are not disabled this will nto be an issue. Last but not least they provide taxi services and they gave me a ride for tuktuk price so it is really worth booking with them. Saying goodbye was not easy and I will miss this place greatly!
