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.

It was like a fairytale to stay at this hotel. The rooms are lovely, the garden is lovely, the staff is lovely, the food was great, we could see the turtles from the garden. A little further down the beach it was easy to get into the ocean and swim with the turtles. Truly an amazing place to stay.

Located in Mirissa South, Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa - with 43 metre saltwater infinity pool offers an outdoor swimming pool and a spa and wellness centre. This beachfront accommodation features free WiFi. The property is 3.1 km from Whale Watching Mirissa.

Check in was seamless and quick! Love the concept of 4 villas with 3 rooms in each. This is a great boutique stay for couples and families. Staff knew every visitor and provided great recommendations, for activities and food, even though the breakfast and dinner we had at the hotel was the best food. Special shout out to Kenny at the front of desk; no request was too big for him. Located a short tuk tuk ride from mirissa beach and Welegama ( surfing) - we will be returning to this hotel on our next trip to Sri Lanka. 5 start hotel, 5 star service, 5 start food ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

    Lovely boutique hotel with cozy rooms and amazing view from the balcony. The vie is toward the parrot rock and coconut heel. The beach is great for surfing, big waves and the turtle point few minutes away. The breakfast was vegan and yammy. Very nice sandy area for kids to play just in front of the restaurant/reception.

    Beautiful boutique hotel with onlyna small number of rooms. Lovely clean, large and stylish room. Pool was a godsend, with lots of loungers and right on the beach where you spot sea turtles from. Excellent food too, definitely recommend staying in to eat from the restaurant.and all the staff were wonderful, very kind and attentive.

    This architecturally designed boutique hotel was one of the best places we stayed in our 2.5 weeks in Sri Lanka. The level of service at three gables was the best we encountered in the country, and dinu the manager, provided us with the best food we ate the entire trip. The Sri Lankan breakfast was incredible, as was the beautiful dinners he set up for us. I honestly couldn’t fault the property or the staff at all. If you are staying in mirissa, definitely book three gables - you won’t regret it!

    Perfect spot to unwind after taking in the sights of Mirissa. Lovely property to relax and rejuvenate, comfy rooms and most importantly, clean and hygienic! The interior design and layout are very attractive and the staff were so friendly and helpful. Just a hop skip and a jump from Petti petti Mirissa, which is another stunning property run by the same management, so expect very high standards all around! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone visiting Mirissa, a 10/10 😁 We will be back!

    We truly loved our stay at this boutique hotel. The rooms are gorgeous (would highly recommend getting the sea facing one), the pool is great and the breakfast was great! The staff were lovely in allowing us to check out a bit late since our whale watching ended late. The hotel also organizes whale watching. It’s very peaceful and serene - perfect escape. Be mindful that the currents are strong and you can’t swim in the ocean much.. so we just enjoyed watching the waves from the hardly 10 ft away pool! Thank you for a lovely stay!
