Dilum and Shriyani
Varan Mawella Beach Guests house is small two story house beach front property with 2 guest bed rooms. Literally on the stunning mahawella beach , the location and view of this property is ideal for anyone looking to enjoy some beach time, in proximity of Tangalle, Matara, Mirissa and even Galle.
Dilum and Shriyani have lived at this location from birth and survived the tsunami in 2004. They rebuilt their home and now have a family with 4 kids, all helping out at the family business (offering guest house, restaurant and cooking classes) Shriyani is an excellent cook and both are wonderfully hospitable, kind, genuine and honest
Mawella (Mahawella) beach is a 2 km long beach with white yellow sand with local fisherman and their colourful boats. Sunrises are stunning and the beach still an authentic undiscovered vibe
