Set in Mirissa, a few steps from Kamburugamuwa Beach and 34 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, Vis Ta Vie -Thema Collection offers accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with an outdoor swimming pool.

Galle International Cricket Stadium is 38 km from the lodge, while Galle Fort is 38 km away. Koggala Airport is 24 km from the property. Location: The property is situated in a quiet part of Mirissa, offering stunning ocean views and a peaceful atmosphere. It was the perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. Cleanliness & Accommodation: The accommodation was spotless and well-maintained. Our spacious room had excellent air conditioning, a large balcony with breathtaking views, and high water pressure in the shower—every detail was well taken care of for maximum comfort. Staff & Service: The service was outstanding, and Leel, in particular, made our stay even more memorable. He took our food preferences into account, and made sure we had everything we needed. Thanks to him, we had the incredible opportunity to witness turtles coming ashore to lay eggs and later saw baby turtles being released from a nearby hatchery. His kindness and attention to detail truly stood out. Food: Every dish we tried was absolutely delicious, with generous portions. The chef engaging, frequently checking in to ensure we were happy with our meals. We even received complimentary desserts, making our dining experience even more special. Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. A special thanks to Leel and the entire team for making our experience so special. Highly recommended!

Situated in Deniyaya, Sinharaja Kurulu Ella Eco Resort features free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a terrace and a restaurant.

There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with free toiletries, a hairdryer and slippers.

A water park is also available for guests at the lodge. This was one of the best places we've been to on our trip to Sri Lanka. It's in the middel of nature, there is a beautiful waterfall where you can dip into the water and even get fish therapy about a 5min walk from the Hotel. The glass bungalow was incredible, the room was clean, very comfortable and there is a mini fridge with snacks and beverages. Apart from the room, the host and his wife are lovely people, so friendly, warm and welcoming. We had a tasty welcome drink, then they showed us the way to the waterfall, before dinner, the host took us on a little walk to see the surrounding area and after dinner he took us on a little night walk around the house to see the little animals living there. He gave us much information about plants and animals and also organized a guided trip to the rainforest the following day. His wife prepares breakfast and dinner herself and it was by far the best we've eaten on our trip. The accomodation is not easy to find and to access if you are not travelling by car, but you can inform the host and they organize a pickup at a reasonable price. This wasn't a negative point for us as we enjoy the sounds of nature, but if you're a light sleeper it's fair to mention that the sound of the waterfall is quite loud and you can also hear the frogs and circadas quite a lot. That's definitely a pro when you, like us, like to be surrounded by the sounds of nature but may be a con if you want to be in a more quiet place. We really recommend to visit this beautiful place when you are travelling in the Sinharaja area! Thank you so much for everything!! :)

Featuring mountain views, Natural Mystic Sanctuary in Deniyaya features accommodation, a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. Complimentary WiFi is available.

Some units have a balcony and/or a patio with lake views. Wonderful host! So caring and nice. The host texted me before our arrival and sent one of the staff mambers to meet us and help us to reach our cozy house. The property was so clean and with an outstanding view. We did some lunch and dinner there and the food was perfect (coffee as well)! You can ask some fruit plates and juice - it was so fresh. We spent our weekend just enjoying the view and the environment but there were nice routes to hike and explore the nature.

(important for us) 2. the room is extremely clean and well-thought out. very beautifully decorated with so much love and attention to detail. we had everything needed and couldn’t ask for more really. having our own kitchen was a huge plus and you can also do your laundry here. 3. the host Dasitha is one of the nicest (if not the nicest) person we’ve ever met. he was so patient and humble and truly cared about our experience…! very welcoming and friendly. great communication too. made our stay so special. helped us a lot in all possible aspects of our travel. feeling very grateful we decided to stay there and meet him. 4. the space: there’s a quiet outdoor area with sunbeds. we loved it! 5. unbeatable value for the price.! we couldn’t wish for a better accommodation! can’t recommend enough and look forward to coming back. thank you so much Dasitha!

Offering garden views, Subodinee Bungalow in Weligama offers accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Everything! The garden, the bungalow with it’s private space outside to chill, the common areas where people got together to drink, eat or just chat… It’s also a 1 minute walk from the beach and literally 30 seconds from awesome coffe shops and restaurants. The hosting family is kind and will help you with anything you need. I had the chance to know more about them and how midigama has evolved in the past 40 years. It was really interesting and they are the sweetest people. Also, 2 great surfing spots just a few minutes walk from the bungalows. I will surely come back! Thanks for everything!
