Immerse yourself in nature on the shores of beautiful Southern Sri Lanka. Talalla Retreat is a beachfront resort located on a pristine, white sandy beach.

Right next to the beach, we arrived and saw turtles hatching and then released into the ocean. Staff were lovely, beautiful hotel and surroundings. The shower was amazing.

Featuring impressive ocean views and an outdoor swimming pool, Villa Atulya at Ocean's edge is set at the seafront in South Mirissa.

A beautiful colonial villa in Mirissa for some much needed calm and relaxation. The rooms are spacious and clean, the lawn and pool are great to chill by with the sound of crashing waves in the background, service is very good and food served is also great. The location is a bit away from main Mirissa so you'll need a tuktuk or scooty to get in and out easily (unless you don't mind walking 30min), but depends what you want - if you need close access to main Mirissa then it's far, but if you want to stay away from main Mirissa then it's the right distance. Tuktuks are easily available where the staff will order for you - they often gave us better rates!

Offering an outdoor swimming pool and a private restaurant, IMAGINE Villa Hotel is a beautiful beachfront property just 200 metres from Kamburugamuwa Bus Station.

Very peaceful a little oasis right on the beach. You can't really swim out the front of the hotel as the waves are very rough, but the pool is stunning, and the grounds are lovely. Lots of room of room for kids to run around and play.

Eraeliya Villas & Gardens a boutique oceanfront beach resort in Weligama South Sri Lanka offering accommodation for up to 22 guests while ensuring personalized care for each visitor.

Amazing stay and our room was beautiful. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The only downside - our toilet smelt quite badly in the room and the location outside of the gates didn't feel very safe. We felt for the price we paid, maybe a slightly bigger breakfast could have been served, as only able to choose 1 item from the list provided. Also not enough sunbeds on the lawn to accommodate all guests.

    The villa and pool is gorgeous, with stunning views of the ocean. The beds, rooms and kitchen were well stocked with good bedding and kitchen supplies. The caretaker was very helpful with meeting us and showing us where everything was and how to use all the facilities. The restaurants are not close by, but it is a very quick drive or a 15min walk away and not as busy as the surfer town of Hiriketiya.

    The property was everything we could have wanted and needed! The rooms are well designed, spacious and the bed was very comfortable! There is lots of secluded seating areas, where you can relax and get lost in this little hidden gem! Breakfast is included in the price and the team cooked us delicious pancakes with fresh fruit and coffee and they remembered our order the next morning!

    This place is a real diamond. We booked for two nights and ended up staying for three weeks. The design of this place is stunning. The rooms are not only comfortable but also so beautiful in a very personal style. That the house is imbedded in green vegetation adds to the magic. The owner and his staff make you feel nicely taken care of and right at home. As a bonus there is a small kitchen that we used to make early morning presurf breakfast and coffee.

    The property is beautifully designed and the build quality of the villas and rooms is very high. It’s located on an uncrowded beach with few houses and great waves. The owners are the best and most experienced hosts we’ve ever had and made us feel at home and welcome from the first minute we arrived. The staff is super friendly and go above and beyond to make you feel in paradise. Bonus: a superb pool area and heavenly yet affordable massages and great food.
