Certain units in the guest house have private entrance and are equipped with desk and outdoor furniture. There is a private bathroom with bidet in some units, along with bathrobes, slippers and free toiletries. At the guest house, some units are soundproof. I booked this property based on a review written by a family similar to ours. And the open air bathroom. We are a family of 4 with a 5 yr old girl and 2 year old boy. We rented the large family suite and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Less then 5 mins from the beach, large comfortable double beds with mosquito nets, a shared kitchenette, large comfortable bathroom with hot water and AC. The owners were such lovely accommodating people. The best part was the location. Hiritekiya is an Instagramy digital nomady hotspot, and Jungle Escape is located in the less developed part of the beach. So we were close to everything but in a more tranquil environment.

At the guest house, all units have a wardrobe. The units are equipped with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a terrace and some have sea views. At the guest house, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. The Surf Lodge is beautifully decorated with a lot of love and taste. It offers amazing breakfast and a direct access to the beach. It is managed by the super kind Che who was always very attentive to help us organize a few things around the area. What we particularly loved about the hotel (apart from the amazing spacious rooms and the delicious (vegetarian) food) was that it is Che’s family home and has such a friendly and calming vibe :) it’s only a short walk to local restaurants and bars and Madiha’s main beach is also only a few minutes away. Thanks for having us :)

The units at the guest house feature private entrance and soundproofing so guests can enjoy a peaceful stay. There is a seating and a dining area in all units. All units at the guest house are fitted with a private bathroom and bed linen. The villa it’s in the jungle but the peace you get from there it’s amazing. Every morning I practice my yoga on the garden - the best way to start the day. You are surrounded by animals.

Some units in the guest house have private entrance and are fitted with desk and wardrobe. Each unit includes a private bathroom, while certain rooms are equipped with a terrace and others also boast a sea view. At the guest house, certain units are equipped with a kettle and fruits. My partner and I recently enjoyed a 4-night stay at Parasole Doré, and it was absolutely perfect. Our room was immaculate and beautifully designed, offering stunning ocean views through bifold doors equipped with one-way glass for added privacy. The property had a wonderfully spacious and relaxed atmosphere that made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was a daily highlight, with a variety of delicious options that changed each morning, keeping things fresh and exciting. However, the standout feature of our stay was the incredible staff. Everyone we encountered was warm, friendly, and eager to assist. A special mention goes to Roshan, whose attentive and thoughtful service ensured our stay was nothing short of perfect.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Digital Nomads is set in Weligama, 26 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 26 km from Galle Fort. It is located 1.2 km from Abimanagama Beach and offers a shared kitchen. The guest house also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. I had a fantastic stay at this guest house, which is perfectly located just 5 minutes from the local train station and only 10 minutes from the beautiful Weligama beach. The host was incredibly attentive and made sure all our needs were met, providing a welcoming and caring atmosphere throughout our stay. The kitchen is well-equipped, ideal for preparing meals, and the room was not only comfortable but also cozy and peaceful. The garden is a lovely retreat where you can relax and enjoy the surroundings. What’s more, the guest house has a great community vibe, making it an ideal place to meet fellow travelers and share experiences. It was easy to connect with other digital nomads and adventurers. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great base to explore the area while having all the comforts of home!

All units at the guest house are fitted with a seating area. The guest house features some units that have sea views, and every unit is equipped with a private bathroom and a desk. At the guest house, all units include bed linen and towels. The family who owns the place is so nice- they have arranged everything from whale watching tour to tuktuk drive. The location of the hotel is great, rooms are comfortable and clean and have nice jungle view, you can watch monkeys playing on the trees from the balcony. We liked the hotel so much we reserved it also for our second stay in Mirissa.
