Everything at Eraeliya Villas & Gardens is designed to make you feel like you are straight out of a movie scene. All rooms are filled with artworks and handcrafted pieces. Lush tropical gardens, an infinity pool, and the scenic beach at sunset will make your heart skip a beat in the best way possible. Our stay at Erealiya Garden Villas in the Ocean Loft was magical. The eclectic, thoughtfully designed interior filled with charming details like daily water changes, towel swaps, and a sweet Sri Lankan candy surprise made us feel right at home. It’s a peaceful jungle retreat that soothes both mind and body. The staff went above and beyond, ensuring our comfort in a place where everything is already perfect. From cold towels and fresh fruit to daily chats, their kindness truly made our stay. It’s worth noting that the entire team – from the gardeners to the cooks to the security staff – work harmoniously to create an exceptional experience. The complimentary nadasve was a lovely touch, and the facial I booked was so relaxing I dozed off during the treatment. The breakfast options were amazing. Everything was so fresh and flavorful, it will be hard to satisfy my tastebuds when I return home. However, we did notice some behavior from other guests that didn’t sit well with us. The staff is incredibly hard-working and pure-hearted, always going the extra mile without being asked. It’s disappointing to see rudeness or arrogance directed at them, as kindness and respect should always be the standard. To the owner: Be proud of your team. The warmth and joy of the Sri Lankan staff made our experience even more special. The villa’s location is perfect – away from the tourist crowds but just a minute from the local beach, complete with a bar and a surfing school. We loved borrowing bikes to explore and meet locals. When my mom had a surfing injury, the staff was incredibly responsive, helping us find medical care and even arranging breakfast for us when we couldn’t make it back in time. One suggestion for the Ocean Loft: adding anti-slip strips to the stairs would improve safety. In summary, our stay was extraordinary, and we’re sad to leave. Erealiya Garden Villas is a truly special place, and we’ll definitely return!

Featuring impressive ocean views and an outdoor swimming pool, Villa Atulya at Ocean's edge is set at the seafront in South Mirissa. The building is an exclusive villa and features colourful rooms with antique furnishings and free Wi-Fi. The villa is beautiful. The rooms, open shared spaces, the furniture and art work are all tastefully down and help to make the villa like a beautiful home. The views from the second floor of the waves in the morning and evening are incredible. However, my favourite part was the pool and the garden. The pool is so refreshing and relaxing especially in the evening. There is a large lawn area with tables for breakfast if you wish and plenty of room to relax outside. The villa is about a 25 minute walk to the main swimming beach area along the busy main road, or you could take a 5 minute tuk tuk. I walked in and out on both days, multiple times and it was totally fine. I loved my stay here and I felt totally relaxed the whole time.

Situated 1 km from whale watching at Mirissa Lagoon, Morning Star Guest House offers a spacious common living area with plush sofas, a flat-screen TV, and a seaview balcony. Complimentary Wi-Fi access is provided. Location was fantastic—right across from Turtle Beach, just a 1-2 minute walk, and only 2 minutes to Petti Petti Pool Club. The rooms were spacious, and the big outdoor pool was amazing, especially with all the monkeys around it! They even came onto our balcony almost every day, which was so cool to watch. We really enjoyed our stay!
