Workation in Unawatuna: the essentials

Five kilometres southeast of Galle, Unawatuna is in practice a suburb of the city, wrapped around a reef-sheltered bay that is calmer for swimming than the surf beaches further east. Jungle Beach and the Japanese Peace Pagoda on the Rumassala headland are a short walk away, and the endangered purple-faced langur still lives in what remains of the forest. Guesthouses, restaurants and yoga studios stand close together, and the village feels crowded in high season. There is some coworking on offer, and Galle Fort is a quick tuk-tuk ride. Bandaranaike International Airport is about 135 km away.
