Thaproban Pavilion Waves

Great location and the staff were 10/10, they were so friendly and professional, food was good and rooms were lovely and spacious with excellent views. The massage was exceptional and they put on a great fire show on our last night. Would stay again!

Thaprovan Pavilion and Waves Resort in Unawatuna is truly a gem for anyone seeking a serene and luxurious coastal retreat. Nestled on the rocky side of the beach, the location offers a unique charm with stunning views of the sea and an unparalleled vantage point for mesmerizing sunsets. We stayed here from 18th to 22nd December 2024, and every moment was a delight. The resort boasts two beautifully designed swimming pools that overlook the ocean, making it a perfect spot to unwind while soaking in the breathtaking scenery. There’s also a natural pool surrounded by rocks, adding an adventurous yet tranquil touch to the experience. You could easily spend an entire day lounging by the poolside, enjoying the soothing ambiance. The rooms are spacious, immaculately clean, and tastefully decorated, with each offering picturesque views of both the pool and the sea. The attention to detail in design ensures maximum comfort and aesthetic appeal. Housekeeping is top-notch, maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness and organization. What truly sets this resort apart is its impeccable service. The resort is managed with utmost professionalism, led by the remarkable manager, Gavish. His constant presence and friendly interactions with guests add a personal and welcoming touch to the stay. The staff, across the board, are courteous and attentive, ensuring every guest feels valued and cared for. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing escape or a memorable seaside adventure, Thaprovan Pavilion and Waves Resort delivers in every way. Highly recommended for its location, amenities, and outstanding hospitality!

Staff were great, view lovely, room was spacious and clean Tuktuk drivers in the area will charge you 2 to 3 more because you are at the end of the street. And bully other cheaper drivers to stay away pick me and uber much better value but you have to walk for 2km the main Rd because they get hassled by the other overcharging drivers.

The staff are the best thing about this property. Prasad in particular on reception was excellent and very helpful. Chandana the property manager ensured I had a pick up from the airport and a lovely stay. Dilrukshi helped me plan all my treatments. The bar manager was so kind and helpful and all the staff were extremely friendly and professional My massage therapist was fantastic. I had a massage every day. The Thaprobani signature was terrific. My yoga teacher did 90 mins of yoga every day at 8am in a beautiful studio at Thaproban Retreat. A couple of mins walk from Waves. Nandan was brilliant and I really enjoyed his class. Very worth while trying.

Everything! The rooms are fantastic (I stayed in a King room with a partial sea view, view over pool and great balcony), the swimming pool is large, clean and fantastic! The setting on the rocks overlooking the ocean, the food (seafood platter is GREAT value for money, curries and breakfast delicious), the staff, highly rated and recommended. We stayed at the Waves 5 nights and their sister property, The Beach House 4 nights and it was a fantastic combination! Waves gives you luxury and a great pool, while the beach house is a little less luxurious and no pool but ON the beach and in the heart of the town for shops and restaurants - I loved every moment and would highly recommend this! Thank you! Great wi-fi at Waves hotel.
