10/10 Excellent
"As a Sri Lankan living abroad who has travelled to many countries, this was a rare and memorable find in Sri Lanka. We had an excellent stay at this beautiful, eco-friendly hotel. It is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of Mirissa Beach, and the property is exceptionally well maintained. The staff were warm, friendly, and always happy to accommodate our requests. A particularly nice touch was being personally greeted by the owners during breakfast, which made us feel genuinely welcome. If you’re looking for a peaceful, sustainable place to stay in Mirissa, I highly recommend this hotel."

"Our stay in the garden villa was really great. It was clean and spacious with a semi outdoor bathroom. The pool area was straight in front of the ocean so you could watch the waves from your sunbed. Surf board hire was cheap with a large range of boards. Drinks were cheap and food yummy."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Polhena?
The best area to stay in Polhena is right along Polhena Beach, particularly the stretch between the main Polhena surfing point and the natural swimming area.This area offers direct access to the beach, which is known for its calm, shallow waters protected by a coral reef. You'll find a relaxed collection of guesthouses and small hotels, many with private beach access or ocean views. It's a linear layout, with accommodations and eateries lining Beach Road.For couples, this beachfront stretch is ideal for a tranquil and romantic getaway. You can enjoy snorkeling right off the shore, watch the sunset from your balcony, and easily access beachfront restaurants for dinner. The calm waters are great for relaxed swimming and enjoying the marine life together.Families will also find this area highly suitable due to the reef-protected waters.
