“The best stay of our trip”
Real words from real guests on Google and Booking.com, photos included.

This was by far the best accommodation of our entire trip. Everything was spotless from the moment we arrived, with a perfectly clean pool and a beautifully maintained property that felt calm, private, and very well cared for. We also felt very safe thanks to the 24/7 staff at the entrance. We were warmly welcomed with coffee, fresh coconut, and even some food despite arriving early. The food was outstanding – both breakfast and the optional dinner were of very high quality.

Oura Spirit is perhaps the most lovely accommodation my partner and I have stayed in (globally). The staff are friendly, helpful and very willing to make our stay as wonderful as possible. The rooms are beautiful, the shared areas and pool are fantastic, and the complimentary breakfast is delicious. You also have the option to order lunches and dinners, which are very tasty and cooked with fresh market produce. Massive brownie points for Lola the dog!

“Immaculate in peaceful and relaxing setting”
A little oasis only 7 minutes from Unawatuna Beach by tuk-tuk. Very peaceful and well designed with lots of different areas to relax around the refreshing pool. The bedroom and bathroom were huge and immaculate. The breakfast was amazing – lots of fruit, sliced veg, different flavoured hummus, breads, pancakes, cakes, juice, eggs and fresh coffee. They organise tuk-tuk drivers and we kept the same one for all our travel.

Wow!! Probably the best hotel I have been in my life. This little Paradise is amazing. The atmosphere, the rooms, the food, the people, the building, the details. Everything is perfect. For sure very recommended, but actually I want to keep this for myself 😄 Thank you so much for the amazing stay, the amazing hospitality and the best relaxing days of our holiday. 10/10 without a doubt 🙌

“A peaceful stunning sanctuary”
Oura Spirit is a true sanctuary. Stunning greenery, beautiful architecture and a perfect pool with pods around it for lounging and reading. The team were truly wonderful. They accommodated my daughter’s and my coeliac disease, providing gluten-free breakfast. When making up our room the staff created hilarious creatures out of towels which entertained our 9-year-old (and us adults!).

Where we are
Between the beaches of Unawatuna and Galle Fort
A green, quiet lane in Unawatuna – easy for tuk-tuks once you know the way, and we always send directions.
Unawatuna
Our home village: a sheltered bay with calm water, beginner surf, cafés, yoga studios and boutique shops. Oura Spirit sits in a quiet green lane a 7-minute tuk-tuk ride from the beach.
Galle Fort
The UNESCO-listed Dutch fort is about 6 km away. Walk the ramparts at sunset, visit the lighthouse and museums, then come back to the calm of the garden.
Jungle Beach & Rumassala
A small cove below the Rumassala hill and the Japanese Peace Pagoda, just under 3 km from us. Good for snorkelling on calm days.
Dalawella & Thalpe
East of Unawatuna, Dalawella Beach is 3.1 km away, known for its rock pools and turtles close to shore.
