700 metres from Hiriketiya Beach, Painkiller Hiriketiya is a recently renovated property located in Dickwella and provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and private parking. There is a private entrance at the homestay for the convenience of those who stay. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk and parking on-site. We enjoyed every bit of our stay in this family-led hotel! It is not far from the beach (5-7 minutes of walking). The room were very clean and there was a common kitchen where we could store some food in the fridge, make our tea or mix some smoothies. Besides this the owner always offered us some freshly mixed smoothies, tea of coffee and also homemade local food. There was also a washing machine available. The little family of this hotel was so kind and we felt so welcomed and supported. Thanks for this nice experience and holidays in Heriketiya!

The units at the homestay feature private entrance and soundproofing so guests can enjoy a peaceful stay. Every unit comes with a private bathroom, a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while certain rooms are fitted with a balcony and some have garden views. All units will provide guests with a desk and a kettle. Property is brand new and all of the finishes are high quality! You can tell they had great attention to detail when they built the place. The room and bed were very comfortable, with an amazing shower and spacious bathroom. A/C works great, and there was no need for a mosquito net because we did not see any mosquitos in the room. The owners are very kind and caring. They prepared a different delicious breakfast for us every day. They also have scooters to rent for a good price. Overall one of the best stays we have had in Sri Lanka.

Situated within a few steps of Thalaramba Beach and 35 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium, PearlDrop Waves Mirissa features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Mirissa. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Guests can use the indoor pool, or enjoy sea views. Booked the hotel for 18 nights and it was great stay/ great decision! Eranga and his team are super friendly and kind. They are all super helpful, Eranga helped me book tours for safaris and pick up and transfer to the airport. Not only that as tours are super early they make sure to prepare for me a really nice breakfast to take while I was in the tour. The views from the hotel are amazing, I recommend going upstairs to the rooftop. One thing to consider is that the beach from the hotel it’s rocky so you’ll need special shoes to get in, but you can walk in the beach and it’s quite nice. Also in the mornings you can see local people fishing traditionally. Location is amazing, the only sound you hear is the waves or the peacocks once in a while. You have Mirissa beach, coconut hill, parrot rock 100 mts walk. Breakfast everyday was amazing, you can choose many options of breakfast between western and Sri Lankan! Chicken curry was one of my favorites or omelette with cheese or Sri Lankan and waffles :) Honestly each day kept getting better and better, and since the staff knew what I like they sometimes had details with me like an extra waffle a bigger pot of coffee. Really appreciated it :) Also, if you are hungry evening or night they have a huge menu to cook for you dinner/ lunch. About room cleaning, its not done everyday as a rule in the hotel if you are staying more than one night but if you ask for it the team will be more than happy to clean the room for you and change towels. But overall the hotel and rooms are super clean all the time. It’s true that the bathroom some times smells like humidity but it’s not continuous and it’s not annoying or awful as I saw people added in their comments.

Located in Hiriketiya and only 2.1 km from Hiriketiya Beach, Jungle Escape Hiriketiya provides accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. 5.9 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole and 19 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple, the property offers a garden and a terrace. The guest house features family rooms. 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.

Set within 400 metres of Madiha Beach and 32 km of Hummanaya Blow Hole, Surf Lodge Madiha offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Matara. Situated on the beachfront, this property features a garden. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. 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 :)
