The White House Lodge was amazing. Janaka and his family made us instantly feel welcome and at home. The apartment is quite spacious and you'll be provided with everything you need. the terrace is very beautiful as well. Everything in Madiha is in walkable distance. Janaka helped us with tuktuks and car rides as well.

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 51 reviewsRuwan Jungle Homestay
I recently had the pleasure of staying at an Airbnb hosted by Ruwan, and it was a delightful experience. Ruwan was an extremely warm and welcoming host, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to both the beach and Coconut Tree Hill. The lush green property felt almost like staying in a forest, offering a serene environment. The breakfast provided was very good, with a variety of delicious options. The room was a bit small, but it didn't affect our comfort during the stay. Additionally, Ruwan offers to help plan activities in and around Mirissa, which could add a lot of value to your trip. Despite the minor detail about the room size, the stay had its positive aspects, particularly Ruwan's hospitality, the excellent breakfast, and the beautiful surroundings. This Airbnb is a great choice for travelers looking for a welcoming host and a beautiful location.

I could not recommend this apartment more. The hosts are incredible nice and accommodating. We stayed both weekends we were in Weligama. Chaminda and Nishadi were so kind and helpful. Bringing coffee in the morning and even helping to go to the pharmacy when a friend was sick. The apartment was big and spacious and exceptionally clean. I will most definitely be staying there again when I return to Sri Lanka

Celine’s house was great for us. 6 persons (4 adults and 2 children 3 and 4 years old). + house exactly the same as on photos. + location is great. + almost private claim beach was good. + Christian and Indra are really great hosts. Please, read feedback from Helen (November 2016) "Myself, husband, two children ......." - it's still actual.

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviewsSecluded beachside house with pool and seaview
Our stay at “K-House” was nothing short of exceptional. The cooking was outstanding, and the service was impeccable—always attentive, extremely friendly, and ready to help at any moment. The property itself exceeded our expectations; it was even more beautiful and thoughtfully designed than it appeared online. The nearby beach was stunning, and the manager, along with the entire team, made our experience unforgettable. They went above and beyond, organizing a magical New Year’s dinner under the palm trees, complete with fireworks—an experience we’ll cherish forever. Everything was spotless and perfectly maintained, adding to the comfort of our stay. We would return to “K-House” just for the incredible team alone. Truly an amazing experience from start to finish.

4.84 out of 5 average rating, 19 reviewsYour own little home on the beach
We had a great stay at Jasin‘s place. We chose it because it is right at the beach front. It was a great decision, as the house is located at a less busy area, so there are almost no people at the beach. Some restaurants are very close, like a pizza place… or a surf school. If you want to dive into the nightlife, on the other side of the beach, only a short walk on the beach away, there are plenty of bars and restaurants. Also hiriketiya is very close and can be reached by foot easily. The apartment has a little garden with some sun beds and a outdoor shower. I really enjoyed relaxing there, as it’s even more private, than the empty beach. Jasin was very supportive when it came to checkin. He also brought us water without having to ask for, so we never had to go to a supermarket (which could be found very close too). Also we got bread, eggs, fruits. Jasin is a great host, can‘t recommend him and his apartment enough! Thank you Jasin, we had some great days at your place!

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 193 reviewsCococabana Beach House. Sole use with pool.
Very charming place at the beach with lovely hosts. We were staying as a family and the hosts kindly let us stay with a friend. It’s a great spot both for sunny and rainy days, with a great view of the ocean from the balcony, good WiFi for working, no need for an AC, with good breeze and fans, we were never hot at the place nor sunny days or nights. the dogs are charming pups, we saw a huge turtle laying eggs right in front of the house, we could buy freshly caught fish in front of the house from local fisherman, and the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and baking. Although the yard and pool are shared, it feels very private and tranquil, you don’t really see or hear anyone, except for staff sweeping the territory and morning cleaning, the rest of the day you are fully to your own. The beach is mirissa reef, so would need to walk to neighbouring beaches for a swim. The surf spots are super close by, plenty restaurants and local shops nearby. Would love to come back !

The Loka Boutique Villa was absolutely fantastic! We enjoyed every moment at the villa, staff was very friendly and helpful. The views at the villa were breathtaking and there was much to see and do nearby. We were also able to get transportation trough the staff which made getting around much easier. Overall, the experience was a 5/5 :)

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsHeritage luxury in Mirissa: full-staff, chef, pool
This villa takes your breath away. Thoughtfully redesigned by the owner and local architects it is a piece of Sri Lankan history which is a privilege to visit. Added to this, the food experience provided by the chef based at the villa was the highest quality we had while in the country and brought a totally unexpected but valuable part of the stay. Mirissa beach is also iconic and when the surf is up, is only a 2 min walk from the villa. We loved our stay. Thank you

4.93 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviewsSpecial rates! Stunning beachfront Nilwella Palms
We had an amazing stay at Nilwella Palms, which is essentially a big and beautiful beach house. The place was great, with plenty of space for 11 of us and lots of bathrooms. There were three standouts for us; The beach was absolutely stunning, the pictures do not do it justice. With four older ‘boys’ (21/18/16/15), plus fathers who love the sea, the waves provided endless fun - btw all the women in the group loved the beach too!. You have to be careful and stay close to shore (we received warnings from Tammy and locals). Ultimately however, great fun. The team at the house, Chef Pathum, Sous chef Dishan, Denish and Kavi were extremely attentive through our stay, making a particular effort on Xmas day, with fireworks over the ocean and the two chefs dressing up to do a fire dance! Huge fun for all. Dickwella beach for sunset, lovely, long with lots of cheap eateries and bars along the front, very quiet compared to Hirikiteya which we found a bit busy Would definitely stay again

Sajeeva was incredibly kind and helpful. He gave us great recommendations of locsl things to do. Nothing was too much trouble. He showed us around the school and we saw the puppies. it was inspiring to hear the plans that he has for the development of the building. All of the money for the rental goes towards the School. A real humbling experience.

4.83 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsExotic Encounter
It was a great pleasure to stay at Khasara's house. Very convenient location near many cafes and a supermarket. A big house. The hostess was very kind and helped us a lot with finding a car to rent. The family lives on the 2nd floor, but has a separate staircase, so there were no inconveniences. On the downside: The bed linen was old and smelly, and some cafes played music until 3 a.m. on Mondays. But it will be heard in any house in the area, so if you need a very quiet place, you need to look for it away from the center. Overall, very good accommodation and wonderful hosts!

We've spent fantastic time at Aravinda's villa. It was exactly what we were looking for - big villa with several bedroom, big kitchen and dining room and some place outside of the house where kids could play during the day. The house and kitchen is fully equipped, you will wind all what you need. The location is great - only 5-10 minutes of walk from the Polhena beach - cozy little beach that feels especially great if you are travelling with kids. There are plenty of local shops nearby so you almost don't need to go to supermarket, you will find everything what you need. Aravinda is a great host. He and his family were very welcoming and kind to us during our stay. They were always ready to help us with our numerous requests and questions.

We loved our stay here. The villa was equipped with everything we needed, and the host gave us a very warm welcome with fruits to enjoy. They were very helpful and we totally recommend a stay here. Not far from beach and shops, but I guess taking a tuktuk would be the easiest option into town. Thanks so much and we hope to come back here one day in the future

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviewsSuperior house with garden (dunwaththa Residence)
Kalini's very spacious house with its wonderful garden is very close to the seaside which is a bit off the beaten track. We, and especially the children, particularly enjoyed Pollihena beach, which is just a 8 min cycle ride from Kalini. The house is well furnished and equipped. The support from Kalini's father was particularly great: he was on hand to give us tips and contacts, brought us fruit, and was overall very helpful.
