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!

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 :)

Beautiful location near the beach, awesome people, very good atmosphere. Too bad I couldn't stay longer. I will come back and stay one week next time. There's also this juice bar right next to the homestay. It's lovely! You cannot find a better place in the area.

I had an awesome stay here! The hotel is in a great spot—quiet and perfect for unwinding. The beach almost felt private and there were plenty of sunbeds to relax on. The staff were super friendly and always ready to help. Breakfast was a bit the same every day, but we still enjoyed it, and the other restaurant food was tasty and fairly priced. A quick tip: rent a scooter if you can, though there are tuktuks parked right outside most of the time. Our room was clean and the WiFi worked most of the time. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this place for a chill getaway!

It is just heaven on Earth. We loved the location with the private beach, the stylish decoration, the garden and the pool is so lovely too. The hospitality we experienced just total over our expectation. We used the grill in the garden and the lady helped us to prepare the fish we bought (that we could catch it ourself with the fishermen nearby with whom you can go out if you have more time) in a local way within banana leaves and local dressing - it was just amazing. Ruzaik the manager used to be a tour guide and gave us some interesting insights for our trip further.

Welcoming hosts made us feel at home from the moment we walked through the gate. The room is clean, the bed is very comfortable, with extra pillows and blankets, cold AC, and is a decent size. The bathroom is also very clean with a good shower and plenty of water pressure. It's convenient to the train station (maybe a ten minute walk) and to shopping. We had to leave very early in the morning, and the hosts were up, with tea, waiting to wish us well and off a ride to the train station. Very lovely stay!

    What a lovely, welcoming family. This is why it's so great to stay in homestays rather than hotels! They were so accommodating to our needs and also helped book a tuktuk to Galle for us, which turned out to be great fun too!

    Great location right next to Madiha beach, which having explored the areas closest around was the nicest in the area. Breakfast was great - and the pool was lovely. All the staff were very kind and friendly. We were travelling with our baby so this made us feel very comfortable. Right next to Doctors house, which was fun and near local restaurants Mint which had delicious food, and Swell a surfing spot where you can have lunch too. Also just short Tuk Tuk ride to Marissa beach. Thanks so much x

    Magic magic magic magic magic. It wasn’t just the idyllic place, setting, and beautiful food (e.g. lobsters kept in the ocean below your feet, only removed when time to cook…with the most incredible family sauce)..it was also the kind, modest and epically friendly hosts..always on hand for a chat, but so calm and also fun. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

    Fun bohemic place right next to all great restaurants. Awesome surf spots closeby and a 10 minute walking distance to good swimming beach Polhena. There is also a small beach and snorkeling spot right there. Helpful and very friendly staff and owner Michel was always there to help with anything. We stayed with family and resort is very safe for kids and swimming pool was warm and nice.
