Learn more about hotels in Mirissa

Mirissa, perched 4 metres above sea level, first captured the hearts of travellers in the 1980s when it introduced its initial tourist accommodation. Since then it has sprouted into a popular tourist destination, fuelled by its scenic beaches, vivacious nightlife and its status as one of the preeminent locations in the country for whale and dolphin watching.

A bustling fishing port, Mirissa is teeming with seafood delicacies like tuna, mullet, snapper, and butterfish. But the town's allure extends beyond the beach as it is also home to a plethora of attractions such as Parrot Rock, Coconut Tree Hill, and the sacred Sri Sunandarama Temple. Despite the setbacks of the heartbreaking 2004 tsunami that ravaged homes and landmarks alike, Mirissa has rebuilt and blossomed, cementing its place as a prime seaside resort in Sri Lanka.
