A Unique Boutique Hotel. Experience Nature to Heal the Mind, Body & Soul.
Discover Our RetreatBlack Roots is a boutique hotel tucked within the peaceful mangrove wetlands of Unawatuna, offering a rare blend of comfort and nature. Just minutes from the beach yet surrounded by water and greenery, the hotel invites guests to slow down, breathe deeply, and experience a quieter side of the south.
Set among mangroves, coconut palms, and a tranquil water body, Black Roots sits on land shaped by nature itself. What was once a quarry has become a thriving ecosystem of birds and wetland life, now preserved as the heart of the hotel’s atmosphere. Every stay feels close to nature, yet far from the noise of the world.
The hotel is built lightly on the land, with elevated structures that allow nature to flow freely beneath. Made using local materials and open design, Black Roots blends seamlessly into its surroundings, letting fresh air, light, and calm become part of every guest’s experience.
