Airport Service
Villa in Paradise guests can order a dedicated airport pick up
service at special discount rates.
The scenic 120 kilometers ride along the wonderful South Coast
of Sri Lanka reveals the beauty of legendary holiday places such
as Hikkaduwa, Bentota and Mt. Lavenia before arriving at lovely
Unawatuna.
Just let us know about your time of arrival and we will send you
a van to pick you up what is probably the most convenient mode of
transport especially if you have lots of luggage. If required please
indicate when booking.
Cost around 7.000 rupees
Comment: Most convenient
However, from Colombo airport you have more choices in transport:
* Taxi/Van direct to Villa
* Bus ride from Colombo
* Train ride from Colombo
Any trip to Sri Lanka is not complete without a ride on a bus,
they are just crazy places and fun although I would not personally
travel this far on one. There are 2 types of buses - CTB (government)
& private. The Private air-con intercity buses are by far the
most comfortable. Just take any bus heading for Matara. It's first
come first served, and expect the bus to be packed, reservations
don't count.
Cost around 250 rupees
Comment: Best to buy 2 seats per person.
The Train is a great way to see Sri Lanka and the route takes you
down the pictoresque coast.
The train ride is more relaxed than the bus but still basic. Make
sure to book the express train otherwise you might have stop at
every station.
Nearest train station is Galle from where you will need a taxi
that may cost around 200 rupees.
Comments: Nice views, but it can be a risky due to breakdowns
and packed carriages depending upon time. Also the taxi from the
airport to Colombo may cost around 1.500 rupees and rates need to
be negotiated.
