We stayed at Brave Resort for two days and had a wonderful experience. The resort is conveniently located just a 6-minute walk from Mirissa Beach and about 11 minutes from Secret Beach. However, we do not recommend Secret Beach, as it is very rocky with strong waves. Many visitors, including us, ended up with scratches on our legs and backs—it’s quite dangerous for swimming. The owner of the resort was incredibly kind and lives on-site with his family. His wife prepared a delicious breakfast for us every morning, which we really enjoyed. The rooms were clean and comfortable, making our stay very pleasant. One of the great advantages is that the owner also has a tuk-tuk and can take you wherever you need to go. He was always friendly and helpful. I highly recommend staying in a smaller resort like this rather than a big hotel. It gives you a more authentic Sri Lankan experience, allowing you to try homemade local cuisine and connect with the people, their culture, and their way of life. If you're looking for a cozy and welcoming place in Mirissa, Brave Resort is a great choice.

A very good accommodation with a friendly owner who helped us arrange the whalewatching trip and drove us to the port early enough so that we had the best seats on the boat. Beakfast was delicious and on the day of the boat trip they made package breakfast for us to bring along. The rooms have balconies, AC and a well functioning bathrooms.

Nothing to complain about!

Very clean … more or less western style accomodation. Location is calm though only 3 min walk from the beach. Owners are very nice and helpful. Definitely do recommend!

nothing! it was great (:

Rangana and his wife are incredible hosts and we would 100% stay here again! We stayed for 3 weeks and we’re so happy we chose their home. It was very comfortable and clean, and we felt so cared for. Rangana was there to answer all of our questions, teach us about his culture, and always help us figure out where/what to do! The breakfasts were delicious and so different every day - his wife is an amazing cook. Rangana was so thoughtful and would repeat things that he knew we liked while also surprising us often with fun new things - teas, fruits, cakes, etc. The neighborhood is pretty quiet, but a short walk to the beach, many restaurants, coffee, stores, etc. There is also a mini mart just down the street that we stopped at daily. We will definitely stay here again when we come back to Mirissa!

Nothing that I am aware of.

The location of the accommodation is close to the beach, the room was very spacious. The owner Rangada is a very lovely person and even upgraded our booked room from double to deluxe free of charge. He even owns a tuk tuk and took as at a very reasonable price to Handunugoda tea estate, where he waited for us and after that recommended us to visit the Sea turtle hatchery that we did not know about. By the way, the visit was worth it. In the morning we were served delicious breakfast and even we could leave our luggage at the accommodation until our departure to the airport.

Lovely friendly family. Nice room with good aircon.

A bedside light might have been useful.. But otherwise it was fantastic.

I never give 10's. But this place gets mine now. Just behind the beach but away from the very busy main road. It was a lovely 3 day stay where I wish we could stay longer. Spacious bedroom good aircon & roomy bathroom with lots of hot water. Our room was facing the rear and very peaceful. Only disturbed by the peacocks in the morning! Highly recommend 👌

Great location for proximity to the harbour for whale watching and in a quiet area. Close to secret beach and the main beach. Spotlessly clean with private entrance. Lovely room with private balcony. The most comfortable beds of our trip! Lovely family serving great breakfast loved the lassi.

Room could have done with another bedside table. Perhaps some drawers.

Lovely family guest house. Ranjan and his family were lovely. The local people around were very friendly. Really enjoyed our stay. Lovely Sri Lankan style breakfasts. Lovely room with balcony, very clean.

Here we felt very welcome throughout our stay - the hosts are lovely people. The room had everything we needed and breakfast was delicious. We liked that the accommodation is a little bit away from the city hustle, so it was very quiet and safe.

Rien

Brave Resort was excellent, close enough to the beach and food, but far enough that it was quiet and peaceful. Rangana and his wife were super accommodating and helpful, arranging tuktuks, snorkel trips, and even helped us with our souvenir shopping. Breakfast was really good as well. We would definitely stay again!

Great little guest house. Our host and family were super friendly and helpful, including taking us by TukTuk to Kolgalla, and arranging very reasonable onward transport to Tissamaharama.

Nothing really

The location is perfect. Far enough from the city centre of Mirissa to not be bothered by loud music, but close enough to walk to the centre or the two beaches (Mirissa beach and Secret beach). There is a different entrance for the guests so you don’t have to walk through the lovely family’s home which provides you with some privacy. The host is very welcoming and will help you with all your questions. Breakfast was always served in time and was different every day. The room has airconditioning which you really need as it can be hot in Mirissa.

Excellent location for Whale Watching and also the beach. Clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Really friendly family that went out of their way to make our stay superb. Even giving us free lifts in his Tuk Tuk

There was no wifi.

Location was only steps from the whale watching office and boat launch.the breakfast was large with perfectly cooked hoppers, yogurt, dessert, tea and fresh juice. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to help you. The rooms were spotlessly clean, with a new firm mattress and the best pillows so far on our trip.

Perfect location! Quiet and off the main road. 5 min walk to Marissa Beach, 15 min walk to Secret Beach. You can walk most places: restaurants, bank, grocery store, yoga class. If you're looking to go beyond Marissa, Rangana is happy to provide info on taking the bus, or make arrangements for a car/tuktuk. The breakfast was amazing and the property was not just clean, but spotless. Rangana, his wife, and 2 daughters are lovely people and so kind!
