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!

I had a wonderful stay! The room was air-conditioned and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen area was perfect for making a quick bite, and the bathroom was excellent with great water pressure. I really enjoyed the spacious living area with access to the balcony. It was very thoughtful of the host to have Netflix already set up on the TV. The food service was excellent and quick too. Overall, a fantastic experience — highly recommend!

- very caring and helpful host (drove me to ahangama rail station for free) - room is very spacious and modern - big common open space with kitchen/minibar with very fair prices - a bit tucked away in the jungle, but still close to beach - perfect mosquito net - has scooters and bicycle for rent Recommendations: the beaches in Midigama are good for swimming and nicer than in Ahangama, I thought. Go have breakfast at Mr Sunils Roti and Juice Shop and/or Mermaid's kitchen in Ahangama.

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.

Initially I have doubts about the location but after reaching only I realized that it is the place I was looking at to enjoy the weekend. We walked a lot on the beach, which looks more like a private one to the property. Excellently maintained. Taken care of each and every minute detail in rooms as well as outside, as everything is custom made exclusively for The Seascape. Certainly not one of the rundown hotels and guesthouses in Matara. Would plan another visit in December when the Ocean is going to be pleasant.

The location was clean and beautiful. situated in a calm location, closed to Mirissa and Polhena beaches and not far from Matara town and it is walking distance to the Kamburugamuwa Train Station. The villa had two bedrooms, and both were Airconditioned, the kitchen is fully equipped. The Host is a very friendly and kind person. he went above and beyond for attend our needs.
