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 ★★★

📍 Palawardena watta Thalaramba Kaburugamuwa, Mirissa

"This lodge is wonderful, it's something special. I stayed there with my family at Easter and it was one of the best experiences in Sri Lanka. The service is excellent, the manager is very polite and always attentive to any need, highly recommended!!!"

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!"

Hey Lala Talalla

"This is a very cozy spot that makes you feel like you're living in solitude with nature, right among the rocks. Yes, there's a road nearby, but it absolutely doesn't disturb your rest and relaxation. Everything is clean and tidy, and there's a kitchen, which is very convenient for longer stays. The beach is just a few minutes' walk away. If you're looking for a peaceful place with a nice atmosphere and close proximity to nature – I wholeheartedly recommend it!"

Sailors Mirissa Hotels in Matara

Sailors Mirissa

"Excellent location of the hotel, everything is nearby. The ocean is across the road in 70 meters, there are many shops and cafes around for every taste and budget. For professional surfers there is an opportunity to surf, for lovers of a quiet holiday snorkeling on the turtle beach (there are always turtles and fish too) and beaches equipped with sun loungers. The manager of the hotel Kumara is very sensitive, attentive and caring, will tell you everything about the city, where and how best to get there, will answer any of your questions and will always help. The room has everything you need: safe, air conditioning, fan, and most importantly a mosquito repellent that will make your stay comfortable, the bed linen is clean, the rooms are spacious. Right next to the hotel there is a bus stop, you can go to the nearest settlements. The hotel is located not far from the police, so safety is guaranteed. I liked everything)"

Mirissa Beach Inn Hotels in Matara

Mirissa Beach Inn

"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."

We Escape Weligama Hotels in Matara

We Escape Weligama

"An amazing week spent at Kima Surf Camp Weligama, where I improved my surfing skills thanks to all the great guides. The guides gave me individual feedback after each wave, so I immediately knew what I need to change in order to level up. On top of the great time spent surfing, we were able to enjoy a delicious breakfast or dinner, participate in different fun activities, relax by the pool and/or follow much needed yoga classes. Special thanks to Benja, Sam and Roma for the greatest experiences for the last session, also with the video analysis!"

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."

Mandara Resort Mirissa Hotels in Matara

Mandara Resort Mirissa

"The hotel facilities are complete, but the indoor facilities are very simple. The sea view room is very beautiful, but the lake view room is not in the main area of ​​the hotel, so the quality is very poor. It should also be noted that the quality of seawater in this area varies greatly. This bay has a good view, but the seawater is not suitable for swimming."

"The B&B is right by the beach 🏖️ and it's super clean. The owner even gave us a big bottle of mineral water. The value for money is incredible; for less than 19 RMB, it's worth it anywhere in the world!"

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"

"The location is amazing. Friendly staff. Food is delicious. Extensive breakfast! The gym is bad. And they should wash their windows of the rooms more often. Fo to the local small beach next door. There is a cool bar with swings from a coconut tree. Would recommend."

NiiRA Mirissa
"Our stay at NiiRA was simply amazing. It was our very first stop after the wedding, and we truly couldn’t have chosen a more beautiful place. It’s definitely a place we would love to return to again. Everything about our experience was perfect from the delicious food to the stunning presentation. And of course, the location itself was absolutely breathtaking! A big thank you to the entire team for your exceptional hospitality. We genuinely felt at home. ♥️ Thank you once again, Team NiiRA! Wishing you all the very best.. We will definitely be back! 🫶🏻"

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 ★★★
"Honestly can't explain how great this hotel is! My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights and we really would have stayed for longer if we knew how great this place was. The rooms and swimming pools were lovely and we were right on the beach! Jagath and his team were soo friendly, welcoming, helpful and looked after us so much. Jagath is man of many talents, he was the general manager, chef and he had many other roles. He is honestly the BEST CHEF in Sri lanka. He made special vegetarian food for us and it was the best food we had in our Sri Lanka tour. Jagath really welcomed us nicely, cared for us so much and he always had a smile on his face. Everyone should really experience this incredible hotel and the amazing hospitality that Jagath and his team gave!!!"

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!"

Outpost Weligama Beachfront ★★★
"The Outpost is nicely located on the beach, the staff is nice, the beachside rooms are nice but not cheap. The standard rooms are more like hostel rooms. Unfortunately, the building is very noisy and the air conditioning was either on full blast or not working at all, which made the night miserable. We then changed hotels and are still waiting for our money today, despite the offer of a refund. It's obviously all about the money and not about giving the guest a good experience. If someone likes to sleep with earplugs, then I can recommend the Outpost with reservations."
