Beach & Bliss Mirissa
7.5 (68 reviews)

Beach & Bliss Mirissa ★★★★

📍 Beach Road (opposite, Ranawiru Mawatha, Mirissa

"This hotel property is advertised as a 4star but is actually as a 2 star - no reception area - only a small desk to check in - very small rooms - paint is peeling off the walls - the wooden staircase but is scratched and dirty - the sit out area is too small - overall a huge disappointment - we went there and decided to forgo the advance and moved to a better hotel in mirissa/weligama. I suggest that all future travelers please check out all the details before booking this hotel."

Mirissa Beach Villa
9.6 (40 reviews)

Mirissa Beach Villa ★★★

📍 Palawardena watta Thalaramba Kaburugamuwa, Mirissa

"We stayed at this amazing villa for five nights and it was the best accommodation of our Sri Lanka trip. Everything was great, I don’t have anything bad to say. The food for delicious and the service was outstanding."

Cascara Resort Weligama
9.7 (2 reviews)

Cascara Resort Weligama ★★★★★

📍 Pelana Polwatta Rd, Weligama

"As the first person to write a review, I'll say right away: I absolutely recommend staying here! This hotel is wonderful in every way, from the service to the secluded atmosphere. The breakfasts are excellent – even with just one main menu, there's still a good selection. I was surprised by how well-stocked the room was: I'm not talking about the mini-bar and drinking water, but the bathroom, which has absolutely everything you need, including perfumed toiletries. The conditioner, shampoo, body lotion, and scrub are all fantastic quality. The room is incredibly spacious, and the shower is wonderful. It matches the photos and description 100%. I want to thank the staff for their hospitality, the manager and owner for their smiles and morning chats, and the chef for the excellent cuisine and for helping with a special personal request. It's very close to the coastline, with restaurants, beach clubs, and shops nearby. It was my first time in Sri Lanka, and I have to say, in some ways, I liked this hotel even more than the island itself. Rating: 10/10. I will definitely be back!"

"Excellent location, a 3-minute walk to the beach and about a 10-minute walk to nearby restaurants. The breakfast is plentiful and delicious. The rooms are spacious and clean. Service is attentive."

Randiya Sea View Hotel Hotels in Matara

Randiya Sea View Hotel

"1. Almost no hot water. 2. We went whale watching in the morning, packed our luggage in advance, and told the front desk that we needed to be back before 11 am to shower upstairs. We also asked them to keep the key safe, and that we would check out if we were late. Good grief! We arrived at the hotel a little after 10:15 am, and they had already cleaned everything and then took us upstairs, expecting us to shower in another guest's vacated room?! This is absolutely terrible!"

Vis Ta VIE -Thema Collection Hotels in Matara

Vis Ta VIE -Thema Collection

"We stayed at Vis ta Vie after 16 days of travelling all round Sri Lanka. It is a small hotel and intimate. Right on the Beach, so just lovely to listen to the waves and wake to a lovely sunrise. It beautiful in the Lobby where inside meets outside.Exactly like the picture when you book. We had a lovely room with a big balcony. Meals are sitting by the pool listening to the ocean. The food is really lovely and attention to detail in the presentation. We were looked after by Nihal, Nuwan and chef Ruchira so very well. We just needed a little chill after a busy time and this was perfect for us. Some pictures will tell the story in this review. If you need a little chill, this is the spot. We stayed in another Thema Collection in Gal Oya and they are great destinations.Great staff,good food and great attention to detail. Highly recommend Vis ta Vie."

Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa - with 43 Metre Saltwater Infinity Pool

"We liked the relax atmosphere, our great ocean signature suit with ocean view, the pool, the beach, the food and the friendly service provided by the staff. Chamara took great care of us right from the start, when we checked in."

Eraeliya Villas & Gardens Hotels in Matara

Eraeliya Villas & Gardens

"I spent three nights here at the end of a busy tour of Sri Lanka. It is a wonderful place to relax set beside the Indian Ocean. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. The staff were lovely, polite helpful, efficient and courteous. The food tasted lovely though perhaps there was less breadth of choice than some of the other hotels. This was not an issue when staying for a short period of time. One could never tire of sitting on the terrace watching the surfers or swimming in the infinity pool. There is also a lovely cove at the foot of the hotel were you can swim in the ocean. The manager was always on hand and engaged with the all guests. A delightful hotel. Next time I'll stay longer!"

Cape Weligama - Relais and Chateaux Hotels in Matara

Cape Weligama - Relais and Chateaux

"Except for being expensive, there is nothing wrong with it. The hotel is owned by Dilmah, a famous tea brand in Sri Lanka. The whole hotel is on a cliff, so the beach is relatively weak, with only two small beaches, but it is a surfing paradise. The room density is very low, and the privacy is excellent. There will be a welcome drink when you check in, and you can order coconut or juice beer. The suite is very large, especially the bathroom, and the shower room can also be used as a wet steam room. Breakfast is ordered, with many choices, but they are all Western style, and the fruits are delicious. The room service is very good, and the towel elephants folded on the second night were so cute. I actually saw many peacocks walking in the hotel. The picture of animals and humans living in harmony is very interesting~"

Triple O Six Hotels in Matara

Triple O Six

"Triple O Six boasts a great location, right across from Coconut Hill, and offers spacious, well-designed rooms. However, the floors always seem slightly damp for some reason, which can get on your nerve. Another downside is the breakfast buffet charge—at 5000 LKR per person, it's just exorbitant. Despite these issues, the hotel remains a solid option for its location and comfort, just get your breakfast somewhere else."

"Amazing architecture, beautiful place to relax the day away by the pool… fantastic local breakfast and lovely staff!"

Asaya Sands Mirissa Hotels in Matara

Asaya Sands Mirissa

"Asaya Sands is a wonderful accomodation. The rooms are clean, air condition with all the amenities you require. The gardens are well maintained and level of service is top notch. The food is unbelievably perfect from breakfast lunch and dinner. The staff are amazing and very responsive to anything you require. If you wish to relax around the pool or just sit on the beach and watch the waves roll in, a great place to relax after a day of touring the area. The ambience of the hotel is 10/10"

Villa Océane Hotels in Matara

Villa Océane

"We have just finished a 3 night stay at Villa Oceane and did not want to leave! The staff make this place feel like home from the moment you arrive - they simply cannot do enough for you. The homely environment they have created is something very special, right on the water, with the waves sending you to sleep soundly every night! We cannot rate Villa Oceane highly enough and a huge thank you to the staff for our final few days in Sri Lanka so special!"

Parasol doré Hotels in Matara

Parasol doré

"Very nice property directly on the beach with 3 rooms. The owners are very welcoming and helpful and the same can be said about their staff. Breakfast is amazing, lot of fresh fruits, everyday a different kind of pancake. I’ll definitely recommend this property to anyone who want to have a perfect stay."

Coral Beach Hotel Hotels in Matara

Coral Beach Hotel

"We stayed as a couple from April 12th to 17th. The staff was very friendly, and the view from the window was stunning. There's a café downstairs that barely disturbed us, except for the occasional smells from the kitchen. The hotel's location was great: the walk to the main street is shaded by trees, where you might spot chipmunks, and you can stop at the restaurant for coffee under a tree. After Mirisa, we drove to Hikkaduwa and appreciated the peace and tranquility. The room wasn't very comfortable. There's no place to put suitcases, no closet, coat hooks are nailed above the nightstand with a kettle, and there's only one chair. Room cleaning is available upon request; we requested daily cleaning. Beach towels are also available upon request. The room includes two bottles of water, tea, and coffee."

"I had a wonderful stay at Mirissa Beach Inn. The hotel is perfectly located very close to the beach, which made my stay even more relaxing. I especially loved the balcony, it was peaceful and a perfect place to enjoy the natural surroundings. The breakfast was absolutely lovely, fresh, and delicious. A special thank you to the owner, who is an incredibly kind, helpful, and caring person. Their hospitality truly made me feel welcome and comfortable throughout my stay. I really enjoyed the beautiful nature around the hotel and the calm atmosphere. Thank you so much for the excellent service. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to others."

Ocean Bliss by Sugar Coliving ★★★★
"The room faced the beautiful ocean view, but the conditions were average. The surrounding area is rural, and the hotel doesn't offer meals, making dining inconvenient. I booked the wrong dates, and Ctrip's service was excellent, proactively coordinating a full refund. Kudos to Ctrip! Ctrip truly provides excellent service for international travel."

AWON HOTEL MIRISSA ★★★★
"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"

NiiRA Mirissa
"I stayed at Niira in Mirissa and honestly, I fell in love with the place. The beach is just a few meters away – you take a short walk and you’re right on the sand. Perfect way to start the day. The rooms were super comfortable, clean, and just really cozy. But my absolute favorite part was the pool area – beautifully set up, calm, relaxed vibe… The staff is incredibly friendly. Not the fake “hotel smile”, but warm and caring people. The food is amazing, and definitely made with love. And here’s the part that says it all: I planned originally to go on a round trip and only planned to stay 3 nights. And then… After one night in another hotel in Yala, I decided to cancel my round trip and came back to Mirissa and stayed in Niira for another 4 nights. I felt so good there! That should tell you everything. If you’re coming to Mirissa: stay here. Really. I’d go back as soon as possible. 🌴💛"

Beach & Bliss Mirissa ★★★★
"The photos are incredibly deceiving — what’s advertised online is not what you walk into. It felt like dealing with a dodgy salesperson: all shine and spin, very little substance. The safe didn’t work, the sliding door wouldn’t lock properly (which felt unsafe and unacceptable), the air conditioner unit dripped water next to the bed and overall maintenance was well below standard. Presentation might look glossy in pictures, but in reality it’s poorly maintained and misleadingly marketed. I wouldn’t stay here again and would strongly suggest management address the basic safety and honesty issues before promoting it the way they do."

Mirissa Beach Villa ★★★
"Liked: Loved the place. Kasun - the property manager was extremely warm and hospitable. The Chef cooked what we wanted. The property was stunning. Room was large, bed was comfortable. I personally loved the food. Disliked: The location is a bit far from the main beach. And the property kind of feels dead post 7pm. Its a bit dull. Maybe they could add some music to the place!"

Cascara Resort Weligama ★★★★★
"I booked this hotel in a hurry and was a bit nervous when I saw it only had one review. However, after checking in, I was really impressed! The hotel facilities, service, room cleanliness, and amenities were all excellent. It was particularly pleasant to hear the raindrops on the banana leaves during the rain. The room's design was also very thoughtful; showering felt like being outdoors yet still private. The only downside is that the hotel's location is a bit remote, requiring a short walk down a small path. I highly recommend staying here if you get the chance!"
