Located within the Whale Watching Mirissa district in Mirissa, Perfect view mirissa has air conditioning, a balcony, and sea views. With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio.

The stay has amazing view. Watching sunset from this property was breathtaking and it is 3 mins walk from secret beach. The property owner was very helpful. He helped us arrange passes for whale watching at a very reasonable price. The property owners brother drives tuk tuk which was an added advantage for us as he picked/dropped us from the restaurant and bars even late night. I’d totally recommend this stay.

We had a lovely stay at the Ancient Tree guest house. Location was excellent - short walk to the beach and restaurants but also quiet. The family who owns the place was super helpful and welcoming. Thank you!!

Located 400 metres from Thalaramba Beach, Casa Mira Boutique Villa offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace. With garden views, this accommodation provides a patio and a swimming pool.

We enjoyed our stay in Casa Mira. The host was really friendly and polite, the room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and prepared by us on spot so you get fresh food. The place is not in Mirissa center but we used Tuk Tuk to go where we wanted or walked to the beach which is near by. Also, there is nice restaurants where to eat around the hotel. Everything was great and highly recommend to stay here :)

Featuring a patio with garden views, a garden and a terrace, Ramesh Guesthouse can be found in Mirissa, close to Thalaramba Beach and 2.3 km from Weligambay Beach.

What an absolute gem this place was! This homestay was super central, quiet, clean, spacious and just perfect! It had super fast internet, which is very important as I work remotely. The bed is super comfortable and I love that they have mosquito nets and a fridge. The family was just the sweetest family and I was really sad that I had to leave, but glad I had 5 amazing nights. One night when it was raining heavily, they even gave me food and ice team so I didn’t have to leave the property in the rain. Talking about food, the breakfast was absolutely delicious, every single day! I also renter a scooter from the, which was super convenient and I also used their laundry service and transfer to my next destination. I would highly recommend this place to anyone going to Marissa. It’s so nice, very inexpensive and you get so much value for money.

    Everything. Large, clean room with strong AC. Great location, 15 minute walk away from the beach and all the restaurants in Mirissa, but still quiet at night. Staff were very generous and hospitable. Offered tea/coffee and homemade snacks upon arrival. Breakfast was included in the price, and was varied with each day was a different dish. Hosts were attentive, offering advice, laundry services, and any extras we needed. If we were to return to Mirissa, we would stay here again!

    A lovely guest house with a hostel vibe of community. Very clean, quiet and social enough without being noisy. The owner Jacko made such an effort making me feel welcome. He also puts on social events in the garden like film. night or football on the big screen, yoga classes and ice baths to bring people together. The room was a good size and the location was perfect. Near enough to the beach, and other places.

    The family running the hostel is really charming, always there and with an exceptional breakfast. Location is 10mins walking to the main beach and restaurants and the neighborhood is quiet and full of animals, and trees. Definitely if I come back to Mirissa I will stay in same place

    Very charming with all the nature around. The host was very friendly and catered to my gluten free needs for breakfast. Not far to walk to the beach. It is up a hill but very manageable to walk and felt safe at night. There are 2 yoga shalas on either side of the guest house. Monkeys and squirrels playing in the trees just outside.

    I loved staying here. The room and bathroom were clean and comfortable and the location was perfect! - Close to Mirissa beach and restaurants but also nice and quiet. The host was lovely and kind and helped me sort out my taxi to the airport. The breakfast was amazing - loved all the fresh fruit!

    Room was clean and comfortable with great location. Host was really flexible and take care for us well,he helped to plan whale watching and surfing and suggested to pick us with tuk tuk and drop us there. Breakfast was delicious at the terrace with beautiful view to the garden. Wifi connection was stable. Where was no problem with hot water. This Guest House has a kitchen where you can cook if you would like to do it. If you need there is also oportunity to do laundry for a cheap price or do laundry by yourself.

    Great hostel - brilliant pool and chill out areas. When I was there it was very social with multiple travellers but obviously dependent on when you stay. Very close to the beach however in a great location so the hostel stays very quiet. Rooms are massive and all the beds have curtains and the toilets and showers and main spaces were cleaned everyday. Very quiet aircon and great storage space. Also nice kitchenette with multiple people cooking. Would really recommend!
