Situated within a few steps of Thalaramba Beach and 35 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium, PearlDrop Waves Mirissa features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Mirissa. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Guests can use the indoor pool, or enjoy sea views. It was an excellent place to stay, quiet, quaint and close to a beautiful beach, albeit not for swimming. We enjoyed the comfortable rooms with gorgeous views, delicious food and wonderful hospitality. We loved being off the grid a little too, but easily accessible to Mirissa beach, shops and restaurants. The manager was so friendly and very professional. The two cooks cooked Sri Lankan and western breakfast beautifully. The other staff were lovely and discrete and kept and wonderfully tidy and gorgeous establishment. Highly recommend!!!!!

Located in Hiriketiya and only 2.1 km from Hiriketiya Beach, Jungle Escape Hiriketiya provides accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. 5.9 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole and 19 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple, the property offers a garden and a terrace. The guest house features family rooms. I booked this property based on a review written by a family similar to ours. And the open air bathroom. We are a family of 4 with a 5 yr old girl and 2 year old boy. We rented the large family suite and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Less then 5 mins from the beach, large comfortable double beds with mosquito nets, a shared kitchenette, large comfortable bathroom with hot water and AC. The owners were such lovely accommodating people. The best part was the location. Hiritekiya is an Instagramy digital nomady hotspot, and Jungle Escape is located in the less developed part of the beach. So we were close to everything but in a more tranquil environment.

Set within 400 metres of Madiha Beach and 32 km of Hummanaya Blow Hole, Surf Lodge Madiha offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Matara. Situated on the beachfront, this property features a garden. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The Surf Lodge is beautifully decorated with a lot of love and taste. It offers amazing breakfast and a direct access to the beach. It is managed by the super kind Che who was always very attentive to help us organize a few things around the area. What we particularly loved about the hotel (apart from the amazing spacious rooms and the delicious (vegetarian) food) was that it is Che’s family home and has such a friendly and calming vibe :) it’s only a short walk to local restaurants and bars and Madiha’s main beach is also only a few minutes away. Thanks for having us :)

Offering a garden and garden view, Cashew Villa Hiriketiya is situated in Hiriketiya, 100 metres from Hiriketiya Beach and 5.1 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. Paba is a cool guy. He was very kind to us, allowing us to borrow and umbrella in the rain and letting us be late with the checkout due to a slow breakfast in town. Great space near both beaches and some nice restaurants. Would love to be back sometime.

Parasol dore is a recently renovated guest house in Dickwella, where guests can take a dip in its infinity pool and make the most of its free WiFi, private beach area and water sports facilities. Situated on the beachfront, this property has a garden. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. My partner and I recently enjoyed a 4-night stay at Parasole Doré, and it was absolutely perfect. Our room was immaculate and beautifully designed, offering stunning ocean views through bifold doors equipped with one-way glass for added privacy. The property had a wonderfully spacious and relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was a daily highlight, with a variety of delicious options that changed each morning, keeping things fresh and exciting. However, the standout feature of our stay was the incredible staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to assist. A special mention goes to Roshan, whose attentive and thoughtful service ensured our stay was nothing short of perfect.
