About Us

Welcome to “The FlipFlop” – where cultures meet and dreams come true.

The FlipFlop is more than just a guesthouse. It is the result of an extraordinary love story and the merging of two worlds – German structure and precision combined with Sri Lankan warmth and joy for life.

Our story began in 2012, when we met here in Unawatuna. What started as a simple encounter on the beach soon turned into a deep love – not only for each other, but also for this beautiful place. After years of planning and dreaming, we opened our guesthouse in 2018, creating it with great passion and attention to detail.


A home with heart

In our guesthouse, we bring together the best of two cultures. Our rooms reflect German coziness, blended with the colorful, tropical warmth of Sri Lanka. Every corner of our home tells a story – from handmade furniture crafted with local materials to small details inspired by our travels and shared experiences.

Our goal is not just to offer you a place to stay, but a home away from home. A place where you can truly relax, be enchanted by the jungle view, and experience the genuine hospitality of our family.


Our family – hosts with passion

The FlipFlop is run by our entire family. Sachis parents lovingly take care of our guests on site, while we manage the organization and details from afar. Each of us plays a part in making your stay a truly memorable one.
