The hotel is newly opened, with beautifully renovated rooms. It’s close to Weligama beach for surfing and walking distance from the magnificent jungle beach for swimming. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. WiFi is good. Breakfast was delicious. And the two rescued kittens stole my heart.

We stayed at this beautiful new boutique hotel in Mirissa with a group of friends from Greece, and we absolutely loved every moment. The location is perfectly set with views of the coast line — peaceful yet close to everything — and the facilities were top-notch. The rooms are spacious, stylish, and thoughtfully designed. We especially appreciated the air conditioning — it was perfectly set up to let you sleep like a baby, even in the tropical heat. What really made our stay special was the incredible hospitality from the staff. Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. The highlight for all of us was definitely the swimming pool nestled in the jungle — pure magic! A serene oasis where we could unwind and connect with nature. We truly had a fantastic time and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Mirissa. We’ll definitely be back!

Incredible hotel - everything is beautifully designed and very comfortable. Thoughtful and caring customer service and amazing food at the hotel. There are only 9 rooms at this property, so the care feels very personal and staff are there 24/7. The location is very close to secret beach which is one of the best beaches in Mirissa. The pool is also very nice and enjoyable views around the property. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our time in Moringa Mirissa - room was comfortable and large. We couldn’t fault anything! Warm water was working, no problem at all. The whole stay was beautiful, with the most amazing breakfast - both options (Sri Lankan + English) were really lovely. Manager was wonderful, so engaging and helpful throughout our stay and booked us a transfer to other destination for reasonable price. Make sure that you book tuktuk + taxis through Moringa boss as he always arrange decent drivers and save you lot of hustle and some money. The location is 10-15 min walk from beach, side from hustle and party noises. They don't have a pool but there is optional pool close by (BluOra Mirrisa) with large pool just 1 min walk from accommodation where you pay 2000 rupees for whole family and can swim for 3 hours with Pina colada included. We have traveled with two small kids and accommodation is really family friendly, both boys employed by Moringa were really lovely to our kids and had good manners and politeness. We couldn’t thank all staff enough for everything they did to make our stay so enjoyable. We didn’t want to leave neither did our little girls Agata and Beatrice. Also you can see a monkey family right from your window jumping on electric cables. If you have a skateboard with you - you can skate next door to Moringa as they have old school skate pool like in Movie Lords of dogtown. We had splendid time in Moringa.

The Rainforest Ecolodge - Sinharaja with Shuttle Service from Car Park

From US$290 per night
Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7
Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 12 reviews
Absolutely the Best Way to Explore the Sinharaja Rainforest! This was our favourite place we stayed on Sri Lanka trip. This eco-lodge is hands down the ultimate way to experience the magic of the Sinharaja Rainforest. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear you’re in for something extraordinary. The location is beyond words—completely surrounded by lush rainforests, making you feel truly immersed in nature. It is so peaceful and quite - no noise from roads, traffic etc. The staff made our entire stay seamless and stress-free. They have a convenient car park in the nearby village, where they meet you and transfer you up to the lodge in a 4x4—what a fun start to the adventure! We stayed for two nights (but would have happily stayed a 3rd). The accommodation is spectacular. Large windows on every side of the room allow you to feel like you’re right in the heart of the jungle. Waking up to the incredible sounds of the rainforest was unforgettable, and we even spotted monkeys and exotic birds right in our room! Amazingly, you also get wifi in your room. The staff were outstanding, from the friendly restaurant team to the knowledgeable guides. On arrival, the Duty Manager, Mithun, warmly welcomed us, explained all the details about meal times, and helped us plan treks into the rainforest. They offer a variety of treks and provide you with a guide. They are also pretty flexible, We wanted a longer trek to explore more of the jungle and this wasn't a problem. The trek itself was a dream. We spotted an incredible variety of wildlife, including lizards, snakes, and a stunning array of Sri Lankan birds. The guides were so knowledgeable and enhanced the experience. Overall, this was incredible value for money. Running such a well-maintained eco-lodge in the middle of the rainforest can’t be easy, yet they make it feel effortless. If you’re looking for great value for money and an unforgettable way to explore Sinharaja, this is absolutely it.

My favorite spot was definitely the beachfront area right in front of Paradise Beach Club – calm waves, golden sand, and perfect sunsets. I also loved Coconut Hill, just a short walk away, with its panoramic view of the ocean and palm trees. Where I Ate- Most of my meals were at the Paradise Beach Club restaurant, which offered delicious Sri Lankan curries, fresh seafood, and good international choices. For variety, Mirissa has some great little cafés and beach shacks nearby – I especially liked the fresh juices and seafood BBQs along the beach. Mum's Kitchen, Big Belly & All you can eat were equally good. Mirissa is very easy to get around. Most places are within walking distance if you’re staying near the beach. For slightly farther spots like Weligama or Galle, tuk-tuks are everywhere and quite affordable. we booked our car for the entire trip. things to do- Whale watching tours Sunset at Coconut Hill Beach hopping Surfing

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.?

Talalla beach is clean and not crowded like many on the South coast of Sri Lanka. Relax all day under the sun and take a dip in to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean. Not really a surfing beach but the right hand end in front of Talalla Retreat is safe for swimming. Friendly locals and a small supermarket nearby. Ate at all the local restaurants - they were all excellent, especially Manju Cinnamon Hut.

Mirissa is a popular tourist destination, and one where...

Mirissa is a popular tourist destination, and one where tourism income trumps everything else - usually at the expense of the environment. So, if you’re looking for an idyllic escape to a pristine, tropical paradise, you’ll need to lower your expectations quite a bit. Unfortunately, the businesses lining the beachfront have been allowed to attempt to artificially hold back the sea, by building awful sea walls, sandbagging, etc. This has resulted in far less beach than there would naturally be. The other inescapable truth is that it’s quite polluted - mainly with discarded plastics (bottles, drinking straws, bags, etc.) and other rubbish. It really is heartbreaking to see, and it’s everywhere. Picking up a few bags of it everyday on my walks didn’t even make a dent! (This problem isn’t limited to Mirissa, by the way. It’s everywhere in Sri Lanka. Substantial regulatory change and investment in education are needed - now!) As a visitor, do your part and at least set a good example by not discarding your rubbish. On the plus side, the people are very friendly and welcoming, and there are quite a few great places to eat and enjoy a cold drink. I found the better restaurants on the main road rather than the beach. There are also plenty of lovely, small, family-run restaurants throughout the back streets that are worth seeking out.
