Swell Shacks is the best place to stay in Mirissa! 🌴 It’s such a peaceful and detoxifying spot — perfect if you want to truly relax and destress. Their amenities are very modern and well thought out, and the breakfast they provided was amazing. The staff are so warm, kind, and hospitable, always making sure guests are comfortable. Honestly, I can’t say anything bad about this place — everything was perfect. Highly recommend for anyone visiting Mirissa!

Fresh accommodation. Beautiful , comfortable to stay in. Just bathroom can do something about the smell, but it’s kind of common in Sri Lanka. There are dogs in territory, yes. But there was no dogs barking in the night at all. Very nice garden. And also we had good fresh made breakfast. Cool

    Matara, was a good place for me.I stayed at La Polena,for 12 nights.The breakfast was excellent and the lady that made it changed the sheets and cleaned my room twice.I do think that they could give visitors a bottle of water daily.Also a jug to make a cup of tea in each room.Very little money is spend on maintaining the place.Also a sign with numbers for hiring Tuk-Tuk drivers would help.The manager is nice ,but a little slow in offering advice. Island rsetuarant past the Doctors had teh best food.I also needed more veg.So bought carrots,tomatoes and cucumber for myself.Also egg,roll in town. Restaurants at the beach are a rip off.10% added for tax.This is nonsense.Tuk driver from the Railway station to hotel.600 rup The one Hotel to Trainstation 800 the train from Matara.4 -5 hours 600rph.?

    Matara is a beautiful coastal town in southern Sri Lanka, full of charm and local culture. The beaches are clean and peaceful—perfect for swimming, surfing, or just relaxing. I enjoyed exploring the historic Matara Fort and visiting nearby places like Polhena Beach and Parey Dewa Temple. The local food is delicious, and the people are warm and welcoming. It's a great place to experience authentic southern Sri Lankan life with a mix of nature, history, and the sea.

    Polhena

    Polhena If you are looking for a tourist only beach, this isn't it. Mostly locals and that's why it was so lovely. Very small beach with no waves. A dead reef but some fish and turtles. Local people there were really kind. Which is what made this place special. The area itself was a bit of a tourist trap but the beach was actually was a small and cute meeting point.

    Matare is part of a chain of cities along the southernmost coast of Sri Lanka. It has beaches for expert surfers as well as beginners and those who just want to be by the beach. The beaches along the coast are all sparkling translucent and enticing. Find hotels along the shore because the traffic on the roads is dense and sometimes unpleasant to westerners the beaches and the kindness of the population more than make up for it.

    Nice place, but you have to make an effort to explore, which is nice. Not the commercial fully packaged commercial tourist deal. Good quirky options. Has quite a lot of Sri Lanka's history, forts, but courts, and old paved streets, as I said, a great if you make a little effort to explore. The Duchman's Street is a great beachside restaurant!

    Nature. Natural food.

    Nature. Natural food. Luckily, not too many tourists yet, and it is not too crowded like in other parts of the island (e.g., in Merissa.)Avoid Matara city itself - it's crowded. Look for places nearby, where Google View shows more green color.

    The most amazing stay in Sri Lanka. Rooms are clean, bright and modern with a neat design. Location is a bit further from city centre so you can enjoy calm and relaxing evenings , but close by are all the restaurants,shops and beaches you need. Breakfast is super good- fresh and filling. Hosts are the best people you will meet in Sri Lanka. They’re gonna be there for everything you need, at any time. (Even at night time getting my wife flowers, for Valentines day) Best stay in Sri Lanka by far. 10/10

    The room is big, clean and newly made, at least it looks like it. The hotel stuff is amazing friendly and extremely helpful with anything. In particular the Manager Gobi is the best person which we made in Sri Lanka, helpful with any kind of question, very fair and friendly. We cannot say enough thank you to him. Besides the tuktuk drivers for the hotel are also amazing the first time in Sri Lanka since 2 weeks we had trustworthy driver. Full recommendation for the place.
