Introduction
Marley’s Beach House is a cosy two-bedroomed beach villa in a fishing village called Mihiripanna, just five minutes away from Unawatuna on the Galle Coast. It benefits from a small tropical garden with swaying palms and steps leading down to the sea. This self-contained beach house is well equipped and can accommodate up to five guests. The interiors are colourful with modern furniture. The house is rented for a minimum of four nights on a bed-and-breakfast basis.

The living and dining area opens out to a verandah overlooking the sea. There is a family room with plenty of books and board games. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, six-burner cooker, and dishwasher. Guests can eat out, cook their own meals or have the in-house cook-cum-caretaker prepare Sri Lankan meals.

Why We Like It
The swing on the beach and white bench in front of the sea are just two homely touches in this well-located llittle beach house.
