At the guest house, every unit has a desk. With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, units at the guest house also feature free WiFi. At the guest house, units have bed linen and towels. It was an excellent place to stay, quiet, quaint and close to a beautiful beach, albeit not for swimming. We enjoyed the comfortable rooms with gorgeous views, delicious food and wonderful hospitality. We loved being off the grid a little too, but easily accessible to Mirissa beach, shops and restaurants. The manager was so friendly and very professional. The two cooks cooked Sri Lankan and western breakfast beautifully. The other staff were lovely and discrete and kept and wonderfully tidy and gorgeous establishment. Highly recommend!!!!!

Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with desk and outdoor furniture. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries. At the guest house, some units are soundproof. I booked this property based on a review written by a family similar to ours. And the open air bathroom. We are a family of 4 with a 5 yr old girl and 2 year old boy. We rented the large family suite and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Less then 5 mins from the beach, large comfortable double beds with mosquito nets, a shared kitchenette, large comfortable bathroom with hot water and AC. The owners were such lovely accommodating people. The best part was the location. Hiritekiya is an Instagramy digital nomady hotspot, and Jungle Escape is located in the less developed part of the beach. So we were close to everything but in a more tranquil environment.

At the guest house, all units have a wardrobe. The units are equipped with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a terrace and some have sea views. At the guest house, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. The Surf Lodge is beautifully decorated with a lot of love and taste. It offers amazing breakfast and a direct access to the beach. It is managed by the super kind Che who was always very attentive to help us organize a few things around the area. What we particularly loved about the hotel (apart from the amazing spacious rooms and the delicious (vegetarian) food) was that it is Che’s family home and has such a friendly and calming vibe :) it’s only a short walk to local restaurants and bars and Madiha’s main beach is also only a few minutes away. Thanks for having us :)

The units at the guest house feature private entrance and soundproofing so guests can enjoy a peaceful stay. There is a seating and a dining area in all units. All units at the guest house are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. Paba is a cool guy. He was very kind to us, allowing us to borrow and umbrella in the rain and letting us be late with the checkout due to a slow breakfast in town. Great space near both beaches and some nice restaurants. Would love to be back sometime.

Some units in the guest house have private entrance and are fitted with desk and wardrobe. Each unit includes a private bathroom, while certain rooms are equipped with a terrace and others also boast a sea view. At the guest house, certain units are equipped with a kettle and fruits. My partner and I recently enjoyed a 4-night stay at Parasole Doré, and it was absolutely perfect. Our room was immaculate and beautifully designed, offering stunning ocean views through bifold doors equipped with one-way glass for added privacy. The property had a wonderfully spacious and relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was a daily highlight, with a variety of delicious options that changed each morning, keeping things fresh and exciting. However, the standout feature of our stay was the incredible staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to assist. A special mention goes to Roshan, whose attentive and thoughtful service ensured our stay was nothing short of perfect.

All units at the guest house are fitted with a seating area. The guest house features some units that have sea views, and every unit is equipped with a private bathroom and a desk. At the guest house, all units include bed linen and towels. The family who owns the place is so nice- they have arranged everything from whale watching tour to tuktuk drive. The location of the hotel is great, rooms are comfortable and clean and have nice jungle view, you can watch monkeys playing on the trees from the balcony. We liked the hotel so much we reserved it also for our second stay in Mirissa.

Full English/Irish and Asian breakfast options with warm dishes, local specialities and fruits are available. At the guest house, the family-friendly restaurant is open for dinner and lunch and serves American cuisine. Definitely one of the best stay at Sri Lanka! Saman and his family are very welcoming hosts, the property is beautiful — you stay in the middle of the jungle with a fascinating panoramic view. Don’t hesitate to order a Sri Lankan breakfast — it’s delicious! Also I would like to mention the exciting jungle tour we had with Saman and his friends. Saman organizes unique tours — you start at one entrance and exit from another one, so you don’t go one way twice. During the tour he tells you a lot of interesting things about the nature and animals around you. Even though 14 km through the jungle can be challenging, it’s an exciting experience! Thank you very much! Istuti 🙏🏼
