Mirissa Hostels

Peacock Villa is the most charming bnb I’ve had the pleasure of visiting. The owners see to all the most thoughtful touches: bikes for guests’ use; games, books, and a piano in the lobby; a map highlighting the routes to the beach; bug spray, medicine, and other essentials available… the list goes on. Breakfast was incredible, and their iced coffee was the best I’ve ever tried. I was only in Mirissa for one night but they let me check out late so I could make the most of my day at the beach. The father-son owners were so kind and gave great recommendations for swimming in Turtle Bay and surf lessons at Surf’n Lanka in Weligama. I only wish I could have stayed longer! Highly recommend for anyone looking for a home away from home in Mirissa 🦚❤️ PS Every other service provider in Sri Lanka has asked me to review them, but Peacock Villa didn’t need to. Their service speaks for itself.

Close to the big beach, the swimming pool in front of the building, the breakfast and dinner buffet is rich, the reception is good. The room on the first floor had a musty smell, and the room management leader said that it was a good room for the second floor. The manager of the room management department is very good, responsive, and responsible than the front desk leader, the front desk leader will only emphasize that there is no room, it has been booked for several weeks, and no room change!

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay here. The gardens are so beautiful and well maintained and the pool is outstanding and suitable for kids and adults. It is located away from the main beach (but not a long walk at all) and is also a great spot to stay if you want to be near Secret Beach (less than 5 mins by tuk-tuk, or walk-able if you can climb the steep hill). It really is a lovely spot to get away from the over-touristy parts of Mirissa and the staff are so friendly and helpful. Highly recommended!

Central Beach Inn has a bunch of different room types at different price points. We stayed in the deluxe balcony with AC. Overall the room was ok and a decent size. My friend had issues with the bathroom door since it is very short and he is 6’1” (he hit his head several times). The room has a sort of colonial romantic feel with dark wood furniture and a four-poster bed with white mosquito netting. Standard amenities – WiFi, safe, small fridge, overhead fan, mini bar (electric kettle and coffee/tea), and toiletries. The steps to the balcony were very steep with a higher than normal rise and were shared with one other unit. A basin with water was on the landing for the stairs so that you could wash off sand from your feet. A gate was at base of the stairs. Breakfast was not included, and we did not eat at the restaurant. We did not have the room serviced while there by choice, but I think you have to ask if you want it cleaned. Comparison time: We stayed at two places in Mirissa Beach – Central Beach and Dream Palace. The two hotels are back-to-back with Central taking the beachfront and Dream Palace taking the street front. They both have their pros and cons. The rooms were significantly nicer and cleaner at Dream Palace, but I liked mattress better at Central as it was a little less hard. Both places had the same room amenities. You hear the music from the beach nightclubs at Central whereas you get the early morning beeping and bread-tuk tuk music from the street at Dream Palace (although the rear rooms are much quieter). Central is beach front and Dream Palace means that you walk through another hotel, for which the gates may all be locked after 1:00 am (be warned!). You will have to climb stairs at Dream Palace, but you can get a ground level room at Central. The service was significantly better and much more friendly at Dream Palace (family run) compared to the more business feel of Central. Central has a full restaurant and Dream Palace does not. The WiFi was somewhat stronger at Central and allowed for internet phone calls. Dream Palace is more budget friendly since it is not beachfront. As for Mirissa Beach itself, the beach is beautiful! The waves are very large and consistently frequent which means they may not be good for children or those who do not like to get batted around by waves. However, there is an area at the end of the beach by Parrot Rock with very gentle small waves that is good for kids. The beach is very busy all of the time and people come here for the nightlife. At least one restaurant a night turns into a club with a dj (until 3 or 4 am). At one end of the beach, they will put out these lit up frames that kind of look like giant eggbeaters out front of the bar that will be the club that night. They also have live music earlier in the evening at some of the other places. Mirissa Beach is a good central location on the south shore to make quick trips to Weligama (surfing) and Matara (city), and longer trips to Unawatuna

Very good guest house, clean, fresh repair, everything necessary to eat. It feels that the hosts have done everything with the soul, very hard, always order, clean, comfortable, cute. Delicious home breakfasts. A good location, close to the sea, but no noise of the road that is near the sea. Rooms are spacious. There are steam rooms, family rooms. Hot water, WiFi, Conditioner. There are big balconies, good evening to sit) you can also sit on the roof, watch sunset/sunset. There are rooms with sea view. Near the cafe. There are two kitchens. You can take things to wash. The hosts offer interesting tours at a good price. The hosts helped us very much in everything, told where to go, that to see, helped with renting a bike, a tour of whales, to find a good yoga class. Very hospitality) we looked at several hotels and guest houses in Miris and very happy, That they found the village star rest, here and stopped for all the holidays and certainly didn't want to leave)

This hotel is next to the beach of mirissa. The owner is a female Canadian. There are 4 villas in total. The 8 rooms are very modern. There is a large area where you can have tea and coffee. The swimming pool is also very good. It has its own piece. The beach is great. The breakfast in the morning was also delicious and the experience was great.
