Unawatuna is known for its calm, crystal-clear waters — ideal for underwater exploration. Dive below the surface and you'll discover vibrant coral reefs, home to an incredible variety of tropical fish, sea turtles, and other marine life. It's like swimming through a living painting, filled with movement, color, and calm. Our coastline invites you to slow down, breathe deep, and immerse yourself in the peaceful rhythm of the sea.

Just a short distance from Unawatuna lies a truly unique attraction — Sri Lanka’s first Underwater Museum, located near Galle Harbour. Submerged beneath the waves, this artistic marine space features sculptures designed to support coral growth and provide shelter for marine species. Diving here is both an adventure and a conservation experience. As you glide past these underwater structures, you’ll witness how art and nature come together in harmony, creating a new home for fish and corals alike.
