Luxury Hotels in Matara

We had the most incredible time at Shades, what a treat it was! It’s tucked away in a quiet spot amongst all the incredible nature. I’ve seen so much wild life during my stay there is no need to go for a safari tour. Waking up in the morning to the sounds of the jungle, starting my day with a swim in a beautiful huge pool and a delicious breakfast by the amazing team. Hospitality is outstanding, your every need is anticipated! Food was incredible, great variety and very balanced flavours. Room was so comfortable, I had the best sleep and a phenomenal view. Location was also great, all the beaches are so easily accessible and I enjoyed being away from all the hassle and busyness of the town, returning to this peaceful sanctuary after exploring around. Can’t wait to be back, thank you team!

We absolutely loved our stay here! Ushun was extremely helpful and made us feel right at home! The resort is really easy to get to plus it’s it is in the jungle! There is space for cooking as well if you like!

Sabine Holiday Resort is an absolute gem! The location is simply perfect—right on the beach, making it an amazing spot for surfers and beach lovers alike. Waking up to the sound of the waves and stepping straight onto the sand was a dream. There is also a great restaurant right next door with great blues and jazz music. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Their warm hospitality added to the already fantastic atmosphere, which was relaxed, inviting, and full of good vibes. Whether you're here for surfing, relaxing, or just enjoying the beautiful surroundings, this place is a fantastic choice.

This is a true gem💎 I can really recommend this place, just 3-5min from main road walking. So clean, and tidy! Great pool area and garden. All very well maintained. Standard is high for the price and the beach is very nice here too. Only wish I found it earlier and skipped Mirissa. Good quality amenities and water in room The hairdryer actually works great! nice restaurants in the area too.

Where do I even begin? This might be a long post 🙂 This was hands down one of the best places my wife and I have ever stayed at—and we’ve traveled quite a lot. I had planned a 5-day trip to Sri Lanka for my wife’s birthday, with the idea of staying here for 2 nights and then moving to Colombo for the rest. But we ended up staying here for 4 nights straight, simply because it was that blissful. I can’t point to just one reason—we loved everything. Here are a few highlights: 1. The Location Perched on the highest point in Mirissa, this place offers the best view in town. You don’t need to go anywhere else for the sunset—just grab a drink, head up to their terrace, and enjoy. Plus, it’s only a 5-minute walk to Mirissa Beach. 2. The Food Unlike other hotels, there are no standard buffets here. Instead, a thoughtfully curated menu of Sri Lankan and European dishes. The food was absolutely outstanding—simple, fresh, and delicious. I’m a vegetarian, while my wife eats chicken, and both of us loved every meal. 3. The Rooms & Facilities We stayed in a double room—spacious, spotless, and perfect. The property has two swimming pools, one at the top with breathtaking views. What stood out was how well-maintained they were, with little to no chlorine, so no itchy eyes—such a thoughtful detail. 4. The Hospitality One word: Finest. From the receptionist to the GM to the owner, every single person radiated warmth and positivity. When I had an issue with my Forex card, they went out of their way to help. They surprised my wife with a birthday cake and even gifted us souvenirs. Honestly, they made us feel like family. “It felt like home away from home.” We’re already planning to return, this time with more family, just to experience it all over again.

Fabulous boutique hotel with a great location right on the beach. Beautiful rooms , lovely pool and great staff everyone made our stay magical. Shout out to Roshan the chef, amazing food from breakfast to the dinners. We only had dinner once but they went out of the way to make sure as vegetarians we were well taken care of. Nihal the manager also made sure our stay was just perfect.

The personnel of the hotel were very kind and the food was really good, breakfast was awesome. If you rent a motorbike or car you can visit the best beaches on the area within a short period of time. Our stay at the hotel was super so we highly recommend this hotel as an option to stay on the south of Sri Lanka.

They where very helpful. The staff was great. Beautiful location ! And stunning view. We had a great stay and will come back anytime

Beautiful place, very close to the beach, welcoming staff! Definitely recommend!

The beach in front is great, the house itself also, very peaceful.
