Paddy Field View Resort, hotel in Matara

Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Paddy Field View Resort offers accommodation in Mirissa, 1 km from Mirissa beach. Guests can enjoy the on-site restaurant.

The people who work there, specially the lady, there were very nice and helpfully. For any request we had. They were happy to help. The place is nice, a bit far from the beach, but also that make it quietly and more peaceful. Had a nice view and the train pass every since wich make it special, yo can see it from the balcony. You are surrounded by nature, which is very nice. Even you are a bit more apart from the beach, it still very easy to get a tuk tuk or someone to drive you back to the hotel.

Talalla Retreat, hotel in Matara

Immerse yourself in nature on the shores of beautiful Southern Sri Lanka. Talalla Retreat is a beachfront resort located on a pristine, white sandy beach.

Great for 2 days disconnecting, surrounded by nature. The open air cabanas and rooms are amazing, especially the open shower, I saw 2 toucans chilling on my shower. Pool is great and there is plenty of space for sunbathing there when tired of the beach. Option to join a yoga class (morning and evening) or have a treatment at the spa as add-ons. Breakfast was good (mostly sri Lankan curry but some sweet options too)

    This was an incredibly lovely and cozy resort right by the beach. The hotel's restaurant had excellent cold drinks, which we enjoyed a lot. Additionally, the resort is incredibly close to some charming restaurants and cafes such as The Doctors House, Swell Cafe, and more.

    I really enjoyed my time at Beach Inns Holiday Resort. The guesthouse is located beside a beautiful beach in a peaceful area away from the busy main road. The large seaside terrace is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy the scenery, with the palm trees offering welcome shade during the heat of the day. My room was clean and spacious and the management and staff were very helpful and friendly. I would definitely stay here again.

    We were really happy with our stay in Culture Resort. Initially we didn’t like the room given to us at first so the staff immediately offered us a different option which satisfied us. The host was helpful. The waiters at the restaurant were really attentive. The rooms were clean. The pool was refreshing. The view and sound of the ocean made our stay even more comforting. We would recommend this place!

    Very nice and simple house right at the end of Polhena Beach, with great sea view from the room. Although quite simply furnished, everything is very carefully maintained and the staff is extremely friendly and helpful. And: you can watch Green Seaturtles from the garden in the afternoon and even swim with them in the morning! A very nice place, no luxury but a great nature experience!

    We ended up having the entire resort to ourselves as they are just beginning to reopen - the view of the water is beautiful. The pool was well maintained. Food was delicious and staff was exceptional at anything we needed.
