Yoga studio
😐 We had only breakfast at the Jungle view restaurant and in our opinion it is overpriced especially if you compare it to other breakfast options in Mirissa. The coffee is probably out of an automatic machine, as an Italian I would not order it again, the smoothie was okay but could be topped with mor...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Madiha Surf 01 is the place to stay, if you plan a vacation in this lovely town. Madu and Ruwan are by far the best hosts you can imagine. Madu even treated us with a home made Sinhalese curry one night! The rooms are very nice, the mattresses are super comfortable and Madu does an amazing job clean...

πŸ‘πŸ‘ I've stayed here twice now for 2 weeks each time. You get a fresh breakfast everyday and the manager a guy called Assi can't do enough for you. Super nice guy and a great location. Rooms are clean and even tho there's no aircon they're well ventilated so it's not hot

πŸ‘πŸ‘ We ate here for dinner twice. We originally came and wanted the dhal and roti but because of low tourism it would’ve taken too long to prepare from scratch as it’s not pre-made. So we pre ordered it for the next evening, and when we arrived it was ready for us and it was so so tasty! The chicken kot...
