Picolo recommends · Hotel in Mirissa, Sri Lanka
Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa
Palms, a pool and the sand a few steps from your villa, with the cafés and bars of Mirissa along the bay.
Sri Sharavi sits directly on the sand in Mirissa, a curved bay on Sri Lanka's south coast. Villas and a pool are set among the palms, and the sea is only a few steps from the loungers.
Mirissa has grown into a busy little beach town, with seafood restaurants, bars and surf schools along the shore. It is also where many whale-watching boats set out from in season.
Picolo’s verdict
Why we chose Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa
We picked it for travellers who want to be on the beach and still have restaurants and a bit of nightlife a short walk away.
It is a comfortable beach hotel rather than one of the coast's big luxury names, so do not expect the same level of polish. Mirissa can feel busy in high season.
