Calamander Unawatuna Beach
About us
Paradise Found. Sri Lanka’s best beach resort.
The Best Beach: Calamander Unawatuna Beach (formerly known as UBR) is Sri Lanka’s most popular resort. It is located directly on Unawatuna Beach, the island’s finest, rated one of the best beaches in the world. The romantic palm fringed bay, famed for its golden sand, year round swimming and a hassle free laid back atmosphere, is indeed paradise. The bay’s gentle curve ends in a headland upon which sits a temple, providing a picture perfect setting for spectacular sunsets.
A New beginning for a Great Legacy: established over 30 years ago, UBR has been recently redeveloped as the Calamander Unawatuna Beach. The new UBR maintains the relaxed character of the old, the excellent service from long standing staff, the good food and al fresco dining; whilst dramatically improving the quality of the rooms and facilities to official four star class. The refurbishment delivers high quality rooms in a contemporary design with an emphasis on natural light, great bathrooms, a comfortable bed, high-spec connectivity and entertainment systems, and leading branded fixtures and fittings.
High Standards and Value for Money: standard facilities in all rooms include a double bed with 5 star quality mattresses, free Wi-Fi, a 32 inch flat screen Toshiba TV, satellite channels with international news, sports and movies, Hans Grohe showers, a modernist WC, balcony, new aircon, solid mahogany furniture, a minibar, hairdryer, kettle, and complimentary tea, coffee and bottled water. Luxury rooms include a spa bath and have a sea view. The hotel comprises 90 keys: 65 Deluxe rooms of 25 sqm and 25 Luxury rooms and Suites of 45 sqm.
The Best Food: the food and beverage, at Sri Lanka’s most beautiful beach side dining facilities, is renowned. Melt is the bistro style main restaurant. The full service menu includes a wide range of Western, Eastern and Sri Lankan favourites for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The popular... show more International Buffet continues to draw a big crowd with its established favourites, complemented with a quality a la carte menu and excellent Italian dishes. Brix Pizzeria is a light eating, café style concept and specializes in freshly baked pizzas, baguettes and sandwiches. The restaurants are sited directly on the beach, have a capacity for 250 pax, and are open all day, every day. A new bar: U-Bar and a café serving Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf premium beverages complete the hotel’s choice of food and beverages.
A Full Range of Facilities: sports facilities on offer include Unawatuna’s only swimming pool, marine water sports including snorkeling, diving and whale watching; badminton, table tennis, beach volley ball, a gym, aqua aerobics, boules and croquet. Wellness facilities include yoga classes in a dedicated yoga pavilion and a ‘Foot Rub’ brand outlet. Other amenities coming soon include a kid’s club, playground, full service spa, additional shops, a conference room and an Apple I-Pad station.
The Easiest Access: Paradise has never been so accessible. The new Southern Highway has reduced travel time to only 120 minutes from Colombo airport. The hotel’s travel company, the Ceylon Travel Agency, can arrange tours to any of the island’s varied attractions with our friendly, experienced, English speaking drivers.
