Ocean Bliss by Sugar Coliving
8.6 (50 reviews)

Ocean Bliss by Sugar Coliving ★★★★

📍 Kalukanda Road, Matara

"The rooms weren't large; we booked two. I personally thought the bathtub room was great value for money. The most recommended activity is the hotel's surfing; you can book anytime at the front desk. It's reasonably priced and includes a surfing trip to the beach. The service was excellent, and they offered many restaurant recommendations."

Southbeach Weligama
9.3 (40 reviews)

Southbeach Weligama ★★★★

📍 160 Palena, Weligama

"A wonderful oceanfront hotel with a breathtaking view! I was absolutely thrilled when my expectations were met! The staff is incredibly friendly and professional. Everything is clean. The interior and design are very stylish. The only thing I would like is more greenery by the rooftop pool. Otherwise, everything is wonderful 😊 I'm already recommending this hotel to my friends. Thank you"

Randiya Sea View Hotel
8.2 (58 reviews)

Randiya Sea View Hotel ★★★★

📍 Galle Road, Udupila Road, Mirissa

"I had a wonderful stay at Randiya Sea View Hotel! The location is perfect—right by the sea with a stunning view, especially during sunrise and sunset. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-maintained, with all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The staff were friendly and always ready to help, making us feel welcome from check-in to check-out. The hotel restaurant served delicious local dishes, and the breakfast spread was fresh and satisfying. What I loved most was the peaceful environment and the easy access to the beach. It’s a great spot for relaxing, especially after a day of exploring. I’d definitely recommend Randiya Sea View Hotel to anyone visiting the area and would love to come back again."

Mirissa Beach Villa
9.6 (40 reviews)

Mirissa Beach Villa ★★★

📍 Palawardena watta Thalaramba Kaburugamuwa, Mirissa

"I have never felt more pampered in my life. At Mirissa Beach Villa, I was able to completely shut off from all the stresses of the outside world, thanks to the management, staff, and the stunning villa itself. From the moment we arrived, my boyfriend and I were cared for, made to feel completely comfortable, and able to relax straight away. The staff were always attentive, kind, and friendly, often going above and beyond our expectations. I am so grateful for how they treated us each day. A special thank you to Kasum, the manager, who made everything easy. I arrived in Mirissa feeling somewhat disorganised, but he quickly offered guidance, expertise, and advice on everything I was considering doing in Sri Lanka. He organised tuk tuks for us and created an effortless balance—making it easy to feel pampered while also giving us space to enjoy private time in this beautiful home. We are so grateful to Priyantha, Basindu, and all the other amazing staff and security, who worked so hard to make our stay feel special. And of course, Janith, the chef, who cooked some of the best food we tasted in Sri Lanka. Each meal was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented in different outdoor settings every day. He made every dining experience feel unique and memorable. Every detail of the villa felt carefully considered. The design of the house is beautiful, the artwork is lovely, and the landscaping is gorgeous—I loved walking around each day, taking in the flora. The two pools were wonderfully relaxing, and the view of the beach is breathtaking. The attention to detail in the villa is second to none—even down to the scents, sounds, and overall ambience. I honestly wish I could live there. I would happily return again and again. Thank you to Kasum, Janith, Priyantha, Basindu, the security team, and all the wonderful staff who gave us such an unforgettable experience."

Cascara Resort Weligama
9.6 (3 reviews)

Cascara Resort Weligama ★★★★★

📍 Pelana Polwatta Rd, Weligama

"As the first person to write a review, I'll say right away: I absolutely recommend staying here! This hotel is wonderful in every way, from the service to the secluded atmosphere. The breakfasts are excellent – even with just one main menu, there's still a good selection. I was surprised by how well-stocked the room was: I'm not talking about the mini-bar and drinking water, but the bathroom, which has absolutely everything you need, including perfumed toiletries. The conditioner, shampoo, body lotion, and scrub are all fantastic quality. The room is incredibly spacious, and the shower is wonderful. It matches the photos and description 100%. I want to thank the staff for their hospitality, the manager and owner for their smiles and morning chats, and the chef for the excellent cuisine and for helping with a special personal request. It's very close to the coastline, with restaurants, beach clubs, and shops nearby. It was my first time in Sri Lanka, and I have to say, in some ways, I liked this hotel even more than the island itself. Rating: 10/10. I will definitely be back!"

📍 506 New Galle Road, Weligama

"The service attitude is super good. They will keep the WhatsApp of other guests to keep up with the needs of the guests, and reply very quickly. Although the hotel is small, the environment is first-class."

Dickwella Resort and Spa Hotels in Matara

Dickwella Resort and Spa

"The hotel is very well located, the breakfasts are good, that's where the positive impressions end, the rooms are old, the bed linen and towels are washed to a gray color, and most importantly, there was an infestation of bedbugs in our room, the first day after discovering bites, I thought it was mosquitoes, but when every morning I woke up more and more bitten, I realized that it was not the mosquitoes, when I went to the reception they told me that they checked and there was nothing there, but my poor body says otherwise, we stayed in room 31, so if you are placed in this room, watch your condition, because as far as I understand, no one is going to disinfect it"

Vis Ta VIE -Thema Collection

"I stayed at Via Ta Vie Mirissa with my mom for a short 2-day getaway, and it was exactly the quiet, relaxing break we needed. The place is very cosy and beautifully located right next to the sea, with lovely white sandy surroundings—perfect for anyone looking for a calm and peaceful atmosphere away from the crowds. The rooms were clean, very spacious, and comfortable, which made our stay even more enjoyable. A special mention to the hotel manager, Nihal, who was extremely helpful throughout our stay. The staff were all very kind and welcoming, truly reflecting the famous Sri Lankan hospitality. The location is also very convenient, with easy access to other popular spots around Mirissa, while still feeling private and serene. We had a really nice, much-needed quiet time here and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing seaside escape."

Ayurvie Weligama - Ayurvedic Retreat - Thema Collection

"Returning to the same hotel for a second year is probably the best proof of how much I enjoyed my first experience — and once again, I was not disappointed. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed with the same genuine warmth, kindness, and hospitality that I remembered from last year. There is something very special about returning to a place where you already feel comfortable and cared for. This year, I stayed in a **Courtyard Room**, located down in the beautiful garden. Last year I stayed in a different type of room, but I have to say that the Courtyard Room was equally lovely. Being surrounded by greenery, peace, and the beautiful garden atmosphere made it a wonderful place to relax and unwind. The room was comfortable, spotless, and beautifully maintained. Once again, I was impressed by the entire team and by how much care goes into looking after the guests throughout the day. I would like to sincerely thank **the hotel management and every member of the team**, including everyone at reception, the restaurant, housekeeping, the pool, and the Ayurvedic and medical team. Even those whose names I may not mention individually deserve recognition, because each of them contributed to making my stay so enjoyable. The reception team was always welcoming, professional, and ready to help whenever needed. The restaurant experience was excellent as well. The food was fresh, delicious, varied, and prepared with great care, and the entire restaurant team made every meal a pleasant experience. I especially appreciated the attention and kindness of the restaurant management and staff, who were always making sure that everything was running smoothly and that guests were comfortable. The Ayurvedic treatments were, once again, one of the highlights of my stay. I am particularly grateful to my therapist **Sriyani**, whose professionalism, gentle approach, and personal attention made every treatment a wonderful experience. I would also like to thank **Dr. Isuru**, whom I had the pleasure of seeing again this year. His professionalism, knowledge, personal approach, and genuine concern for my wellbeing made me feel that I was in very good hands throughout my stay. I would also like to mention **Kaveesha from housekeeping**, who took such good care of my room. Everything was kept perfectly clean and tidy, and I truly appreciated his attention to detail and the care he put into making sure everything was comfortable. The pool area was another lovely part of the stay, with the staff always attentive and ready to assist whenever needed. Small gestures, friendly smiles, and the willingness to help really make a difference when you are spending many days in a place. After two consecutive years here, I can honestly say that this is a place I would happily return to again. It is not only the beautiful surroundings or the treatments that make the experience special — it is **the people**. The genuine care, warmth, professionalism, and attention from the entire te"

"A beautiful and stylishly furnished accommodation right by the sea. We had a sea view from our room at all times, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We didn't want to leave at all. The pool isn't large, but it's refreshingly cool and perfectly adequate, as the accommodation only has three rooms. The breakfast was also incredibly delicious (especially the cinnamon pancakes). It was the best breakfast of our entire trip. The hosts were also incredibly kind. We would come back anytime ♥️ Thank you for the wonderful time. Who knows, maybe we'll manage to come back again someday."

A special thank you to the owner, who is an incredibly kind, helpful, and caring person. Their hospitality truly made me feel welcome and comfortable throughout my stay. I really enjoyed the beautiful nature around the hotel and the calm atmosphere. Thank you so much for the excellent service. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to others."

"I stayed at Niira in Mirissa and honestly, I fell in love with the place. The beach is just a few meters away – you take a short walk and you’re right on the sand. Perfect way to start the day. The rooms were super comfortable, clean, and just really cozy. But my absolute favorite part was the pool area – beautifully set up, calm, relaxed vibe… The staff is incredibly friendly. Not the fake “hotel smile”, but warm and caring people. The food is amazing, and definitely made with love. And here’s the part that says it all: I planned originally to go on a round trip and only planned to stay 3 nights. And then… After one night in another hotel in Yala, I decided to cancel my round trip and came back to Mirissa and stayed in Niira for another 4 nights. I felt so good there! That should tell you everything. If you’re coming to Mirissa: stay here. Really. I’d go back as soon as possible. 🌴💛"

Triple O Six ★★★★
"Triple O Six boasts a great location, right across from Coconut Hill, and offers spacious, well-designed rooms. However, the floors always seem slightly damp for some reason, which can get on your nerve. Another downside is the breakfast buffet charge—at 5000 LKR per person, it's just exorbitant. Despite these issues, the hotel remains a solid option for its location and comfort, just get your breakfast somewhere else."

"I booked this hotel in a hurry and was a bit nervous when I saw it only had one review. However, after checking in, I was really impressed! The hotel facilities, service, room cleanliness, and amenities were all excellent. It was particularly pleasant to hear the raindrops on the banana leaves during the rain. The room's design was also very thoughtful; showering felt like being outdoors yet still private. The only downside is that the hotel's location is a bit remote, requiring a short walk down a small path. I highly recommend staying here if you get the chance!"
