"Our stay at Awon Hotel was really good! The rooms were decent and comfortable, and the hygiene and cleanliness were excellent. The best part is the location, it is very close to the beach and most of the main attractions in Mirissa. Most importantly, the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful with everything, especially when it came to arranging transport and other activities. I highly recommend choosing Awon Hotel if you are visiting Mirissa"

We Are Surfers hotel

We Are Surfers hotel

📍 251/29A, Bandrawatta, Kapparatota, Weligama
★★★★ 8.7 (22 reviews)

"This is a paradise for surfers and those seeking solitude! I stayed in this atmospheric hotel right by the ocean – and it's the best spot for beginners in Sri Lanka! Cozy rooms with endless ocean views, a private beach to chill on after surfing, and the staff are simply legends – always positive and ready to help with anything from a surfboard to a minor issue. The attention to detail is pro-level: from the delightful lemongrass shower gel to the designer hangers that perfectly dry your wet clothes. And the coffee? The best on the whole island! I'll be back 100%, 🏄‍♂️☕ 5/5. If you want to learn to surf, definitely sign up for their surf school – it's amazing! I'd also like to give a special shout-out to the school itself and a huge thank you to Kolya and Asanka. They get you up on the board in no time; it's not just "paddle, stand up," they explain everything so clearly that you have no questions left. These guys know their stuff 1000% – technique, wind, tides, all by the book, but with fun and humor. After just 3 lessons, I was already catching my own waves confidently! Perfect for beginners and those looking to upgrade. I recommend it to everyone."

Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa Hotels in Matara

Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa

"Coming to Marriott truly gives you that vacation feeling. Everything from the hotel's amenities and service to the surrounding environment makes you feel relaxed and comfortable. First, the service: since there were no triple rooms or family rooms available when booking, we only reserved a twin room. However, the hotel proactively converted the sofa into a sofa bed for us, solving our child's sleeping arrangement. Second, the hotel's ground floor offers many free entertainment facilities like foosball, table tennis, and billiards. The pool isn't huge, but there are frequent live performances, enhancing the relaxed atmosphere. Moreover, the hotel boasts a superb location right in the heart of Mirissa Bay. From our room's balcony, we had an endless view of the Indian Ocean and rolling waves, which was incredibly beautiful. It's worth mentioning that surfing is a must-try at Marriott; I heard the waves here are perfect for beginners. Looking around, the entire coastline is dotted with surfers, but because the coast is so vast, it never feels crowded, which is incomparable to surfing spots in China (like Houhai). The beach is also very fine, with no broken shells or corals, which is also great for surfing (friends who have surfed in Houhai will understand). However, a word of caution to Chinese tourists: if you're heading to the beach from the hotel and encounter coaches renting surfboards, you *must* haggle aggressively down from their initial quote, then negotiate slowly. The actual cost can vary significantly depending on peak or off-peak season, so I won't go into specifics here. All in all, you won't regret choosing Marriott when in Mirissa, and surfing is definitely an experience not to be missed."

"We had a wonderful time at W15 in Weligama. The hotel is right by the beach, so we could hear the waves and enjoy the ocean view every day. It’s a stylish and clean place, with a calm and peaceful feeling that made me feel relaxed as soon as we arrived. The staff were super kind and helpful. They always made sure we were comfortable. Our room was cozy and nicely decorated, with everything we needed. One of our favorite parts was the pool. The views were stunning. The hotel is definitely a great spot for surfing, chilling, or just watching the sunset. W15 is a wonderful choice for your trip to Weligama."

Ocean Bliss by Sugar Coliving ★★★★
"Beautiful beachfront property. You can see the ocean while you are in bed because the rooms are elevated, giving you a beautiful view of the cliff, tropical surroundings, and ocean. The rooms are boho-inspired ocean-view rooms. My rooms also have an outdoor bathtub with an ocean view. It was worth the money, especially as we stayed during the off-season. The room was clean and the staff were very friendly. The only noise you hear is the sound of the beach waves, which is exactly why we came. Amenities are limited because this is a co-living concept, but you still have everything you need for a long stay: a shared kitchen, washing machine, working desk, high-back chair for work, a small shop inside, and a good coffee machine."

"Great place. We planned to stay 3 nights, we ended up staying 2 months. It’s beach front, the bathrooms are super clean, the rooms have a good size with balcony, there is a cowork with international standards, they organize activities to connect with other travelers and the food is great. Highly recommend Outpost. The whole team is super welcoming. Special shout-out to Ashita, Manuka and Ishanka for making the stay that nice !"

We Are Surfers hotel ★★★★
"The hotel is so beautiful, the view from my room was extremely stunning, the staff are so nice and polite especially the guy at the reception , definitely will stay there if i went again to that area , only issue i faced is that it kinda far from the main street but the hotel staff helped me to get the tuk tok when i asked them as i don’t drive, but if you do have motorcycles then that wont be an issue for you , either way the view from the hotel is worth the struggle"

Smeralda Beach Hotel Dikwella ★★★★
"We ate twice at the restaurant here. Both times they set up a table on the beach. The food and service were very good. As it was the birthday of one of our party they decorated our table and got a special birthday cake for us which was delicious. Prices are slightly higher than average Sri Lankan restaurants but not excessively and the service makes up for this!"
