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."

★★★★★ 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!"

"Hands down the best place to stay in Mirissa! It felt like a home away from home, can't thank Kasun, Adeel and the rest of the team enough for their exceptional service from the beginning to the end. Super hardworking staff and most importantly, they made each of the guest feel welcomed. The view of course absolutely breathtaking, peaceful nights - what else could one ask for on a vacation.

We Are Surfers hotel Hotels in Matara

We Are Surfers hotel

"This is a paradise for surfers and those seeking solitude! I stayed in this atmospheric hotel right by the ocean – and it's the best spot for beginners in Sri Lanka! Cozy rooms with endless ocean views, a private beach to chill on after surfing, and the staff are simply legends – always positive and ready to help with anything from a surfboard to a minor issue. The attention to detail is pro-level: from the delightful lemongrass shower gel to the designer hangers that perfectly dry your wet clothes. And the coffee? The best on the whole island! I'll be back 100%, 🏄‍♂️☕ 5/5. If you want to learn to surf, definitely sign up for their surf school – it's amazing! I'd also like to give a special shout-out to the school itself and a huge thank you to Kolya and Asanka. They get you up on the board in no time; it's not just "paddle, stand up," they explain everything so clearly that you have no questions left. These guys know their stuff 1000% – technique, wind, tides, all by the book, but with fun and humor. After just 3 lessons, I was already catching my own waves confidently! Perfect for beginners and those looking to upgrade. I recommend it to everyone."

"I had a truly comfortable and peaceful stay at Niire Hotel Mirissa last night. The friendly and welcoming staff made the experience even more special with their excellent hospitality and attentive service. Everything from the accommodation, food, and overall service was outstanding. The location is perfect, creating a relaxing and memorable atmosphere for guests visiting the southern coast. A special mention to the Area and Terras Restaurants for their delicious food and wonderful dining experience. Every meal was flavorful and beautifully prepared. I strongly recommend all down south travelers to visit and experience the wonderful stay at Niire Hotel Mirissa. It is truly a memorable place to relax, enjoy, and create beautiful memories."

Parasol doré Hotels in Matara

Parasol doré

"Our four night stay at Parasol Dore was the highlight of our recent trip to Sri Lanka. The rooms are absolutely beautiful, the pool is perfect and the beach is so quiet with turtles just in the next cove. We stayed with our 4 year old and loved exploring the local area (highly recommend dinner at Smoke & Bitters and Verse Collective). The breakfast was an absolute treat every morning. Jeremy, Julie and family are the most wonderful hosts and we cannot wait to return. Genuinely cannot recommend a stay at Parasol Dore highly enough!"

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 !"
