Ocean Bliss by Sugar Coliving

Ocean Bliss by Sugar Coliving

📍 Kalukanda Road, Matara
★★★★ 8.6 (40 reviews)

"Beautiful beachfront property. You can see the ocean while you are in bed because the rooms are elevated, giving you a beautiful view of the cliff, tropical surroundings, and ocean. The rooms are boho-inspired ocean-view rooms. My rooms also have an outdoor bathtub with an ocean view. It was worth the money, especially as we stayed during the off-season. The room was clean and the staff were very friendly. The only noise you hear is the sound of the beach waves, which is exactly why we came. Amenities are limited because this is a co-living concept, but you still have everything you need for a long stay: a shared kitchen, washing machine, working desk, high-back chair for work, a small shop inside, and a good coffee machine."

AWON HOTEL MIRISSA

AWON HOTEL MIRISSA

📍 Aluthgedara waththa, Udupila Road, Mirissa
★★★★ 9.0 (9 reviews)

"Our stay at Awon Hotel was really good! The rooms were decent and comfortable, and the hygiene and cleanliness were excellent. The best part is the location, it is very close to the beach and most of the main attractions in Mirissa. Most importantly, the owner was incredibly friendly and helpful with everything, especially when it came to arranging transport and other activities. I highly recommend choosing Awon Hotel if you are visiting Mirissa"

"Nice spot on the beach. The room was basic but did the job as we were only stopping over for a couple of nights. The attached restaurant was great and not too noisy. We enjoyed dinner on the first night; lovely atmosphere."

📍 Pelana Polwatta Rd, Weligama
★★★★★ 10 (1 reviews)

"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!"

Outpost Weligama Beachfront

Outpost Weligama Beachfront

📍 wadana watta, Weligama
★★★ 8.1 (35 reviews)

"Outpost Weligama exceeded my expectations. The facilities and staff were top notch and professionally run. The common areas, including the rooms were immaculate. Everyone was super friendly and attentive to my requirements, from check-in to food to booking taxis. Two things that really stand out were the quality of food at the rootop restaurant and the drinks prepared by their bartender Lahiru. In describing the former, the quality of food was beyond what I expected for a hostel/co-working space. The Head Chef worked in several resorts in the Maldives and in Dubai, which explained the exquisiteness of the food and the presentation. I couldn't believe the quality of the produce, size, flavour and presentation of the meals. The meals I had everyday and on New Years Eve 2024 were equivalent to what you'd expect at fine-dining restaurant in Melbourne, Sydney or Auckland. This was also the same with the cafe. Bartender Lahiru and his team made me and my friend feel very welcome. The drinks he prepared were sublime and matched the quality you'd expect at top bars around the world! I will definitely return to Outpost Weligama in the future!"

ZelonCey Villa Mirissa Hotels in Matara

ZelonCey Villa Mirissa

"Our stay was truly wonderful from start to finish. Himesh reached out immediately after our booking and provided excellent recommendations for local attractions, helping us make the most of our time in Mirissa. Sanjana was always responsive, friendly, and incredibly helpful, while Anjana went above and beyond by personally guiding us to Secret Beach and other hidden gems in the area. What makes this place stand out is the genuine warmth of this family-run establishment. We felt welcomed from the moment we arrived and were treated like family throughout our stay. A special mention goes to their mother, whose delicious homemade breakfast was one of the highlights of our visit. The property itself is spotless, modern, peaceful, and equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, including excellent Starlink internet. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the hospitality is second to none. I highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Mirissa. We left with wonderful memories and look forward to returning in the future."

Central Beach Inn ★★★
"Pleasant enough stay in a tired looking hotel Lovely beach front location in fact it’s the location that really is the best part of this hotel. It’s a nearly but not quite. Pictures show the rusty bathroom accessories and an uncleaned fridge from the previous guests. Stained bedside lampshade. The safe in the room didn’t work. There were no waste bins in the room just a v small one in the bathroom. Door out to balcony warped and difficult to open. We were there two nights but our room was not cleaned. Perhaps we should have asked ? Having said all that the price paid reflects that this is not a top lines hotel. Would recommend as the price is reflective of the tiredness of this hotel and as stated a very good location Ate here on our last night and chose fresh fish grilled with French fries. Sitting out on the beach eating fresh cooked fish was lovely. We booked a queen room with sea view. Mosquito net difficult to stretch over the bed as the headboard was stuck firmly to the wall creating gaps in the net. Also whilst we had a lovely balcony view note it is noisy from the beach bar music below till the early hours. Not an issue for us but may be for some. Giving 3 stars as the price paid recognises all these faults and location is great. Note : Hotel reception GBP/LKR rate was 320 for exchange. Exchange place over the road gave us 390 !!!! Don’t exchange money at the hotel."

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."

It’s beach front, the bathrooms are super clean, the rooms have a good size with balcony, there is a cowork with international standards, they organize activities to connect with other travelers and the food is great. Highly recommend Outpost. The whole team is super welcoming. Special shout-out to Ashita, Manuka and Ishanka for making the stay that nice !"
