BEST 20 Beautiful Guest Houses In Mirissa 2023

Casa Maria is, in my opinion, the best guest house in Mirissa due to its incredible location and peacefulness. It is a short walk to the stunning Mirissa beach and is less than a 10-minute walk to the whale watching boats in Mirissa harbour. The property maintains an old-style feel but is in fact quite new with modern facilities. If you want a gorgeous, quiet guest house with a pool then this is the choice to go for.

Peacock Villa combines the benefits of a small family-run business with a defined, modern and luxurious design to really give you the best possible accommodation experience. The Villa is situated slightly inland (a 5-minute walk to the beach) which means that it is away from the hustle and bustle of cars and people making it extremely peaceful. This is one of the highest-scoring guest houses in Mirissa so check it out in more detail here!

Morning Star is a great example of where boutique meets guest house. Sometimes you can feel like you are literally living in someone’s house (which some people do prefer) however, that is not the case here. The rooms all come with carved 4 poster beds and the facilities ooze boho vibes mixed with contemporary design. Incredibly high reviews and a great location slightly east of the beach (the quiet end) makes this one of the best guest houses in Mirissa for sure. Check it out in more detail here!

This is probably the most unique of all the guest houses in Mirissa. The owners have literally built an elevated cabin above their house, hence the name ‘Bird House’. I admit that it is more basic than many of the other guest houses in Mirissa but it is insanely affordable and, as you are the only people staying here, the owners will be on hand to give you any help you could possibly need to make your stay as perfect as possible. The price alone means you should definitely check this out!

With Boho in the name you can expect, fairy lights, pallet wood chairs, gorgeous spaces, and amazing company. As this is one of the larger guest houses in Mirissa they have also got a restaurant which is quite rare so this is a huge positive. If you are looking to meet other like-minded people and have a really chill experience then Boho Garden might be the place for you. Check it out here!

With only two rooms available on sight, Suriya Guest House is the perfect example of what a guest house should be. You can expect the owners to go above and beyond to make sure that your trip is exactly what you want it to be. The location is also fantastic being within walking distance of both the beach and the whale-watching tours in the harbour. The price is also extremely good for the quality of the rooms available.

Lavender Mirissa has 3 rooms, one of which has a balcony and sea view which I HIGHLY recommend that you try to book as it is by far the best room at the property. As you can imagine with a sea view, you are very close to the sea and the famous coconut tree hill which has the best photo opportunities in the whole of Mirissa. This is the quieter end of Mirissa so if you are looking for something with a bit of class and blissful peace then Lavender Mirissa is the place for you. Check it out here!

Orchid Rest is a nice, clean guest house in Mirissa that has a peaceful garden area to relax in your downtime. The facilities are of decent quality and the entire property is well worth the money they are asking. The location is right in between whale watching and Mirissa beach (this location is becoming a theme of this article) so this is a great place to be. Check out more images, reviews, and prices here!

Maybe HappyShack should be higher on this list as you can see from the reviews it is a very highly-rated accommodation option. But is it a guest house or is it a hostel?! It is listed as a guest house so it makes the list purely because of how good this hostel is. The vibe is excellent, the rooms are fantastic and the decoration is superb. You are almost guaranteed to meet new interesting people and HappyShack should elevate your stay in Mirissa. Check out more images and book here!

Sethun House has to be one of the best guest houses in Mirissa. It epitomises everything a guest house should be. A small number of rooms, a brilliant host, a good location, and value for money. If you’re looking to get stuck into some decent food then the breakfast is VERY highly rated with multiple different options available every morning. The rooms are spacious, clean, and have good facilities, plus the wifi is good which can be quite a problem in Mirissa. Check it out in more detail here!

There are not many guest houses in Mirissa that come with a kitchen inside the room so if you are looking to save some money on eating out then Thusara Guesthouse could be a fantastic option for you. It is tucked away up a small lane which gives it a brilliant amount of privacy and quiet and is still only seconds from the beach, could the location get any better?! Check out Thusara Guesthouse here!

Amal Guest House is one of the most pristine guest houses in Mirissa. Everything from the front gate to the rooms is spotless in both cleanliness and design. There is a communal kitchen which is considerably better than nearly all of the other kitchens on this list and, on top of all of that, you get a fantastic host that is ready to help with any of your needs. If that is still not enough then there are bikes on site ready to hire to see the local area in the best possible way. Check it out in more detail here!

In Mirissa you can either be right on the beach or very slightly set back inland. The beach is noisy, busy, and bustling with activity but you only have to go back half a mile and you are staying in a completely different location. This is where The Dale shines. It will feel like you are nestled in the middle of the jungle itself with only the peaceful noise of the animals and birds keeping you company. The guest house itself is immaculate and is easily one of the nicest-looking guest houses on this entire list so definitely check out The Dale here!

Sagopearl Guest House is a combination of incredible value and fantastic hosting. It may not be the fanciest of all the guest houses in Mirissa but when you’ve got a bed, incredible homemade food every day, and you’re getting a beaming smile every time you come home, what more could you ask for? Sagopearl Guest House is the one to choose if you want to save the pennies but not degrade the experience in any way. Check out Sagopearl in more detail here!

Situated down close to Coconut Tree Hill, Minara guest house has large open rooms on the quieter side of town. Each room comes with a desk so for any digital nomads out there looking for a decent spot to do some work Minara is a great option. The guest house also has a restaurant on-site so for those long productive days, you can grab food right on your doorstep. Check out Minara guest house in more detail here!

Probably the aptest name of all the guest houses in Mirissa, Seaside View is exactly what it’s called. Each room comes with a fantastic sea view and is situated right on the beach. The rooms are not the biggest but you cannot beat the view for this price anywhere in Mirissa. I wouldn’t recommend it for a prolonged stay but if you are only in Mirtissa for a few days this Seaside view is a fantastic option. Check out prices and availability here!

Sunnyplace Guest House is another guest house in Mirissa that takes full advantage of the hosting side of staying in a place like this. You will basically have a local helping you make the most of your entire trip which many bigger hotels and villas simply do not offer. Aside from that, you will get good, clean spacious rooms with a desk in each one and a private bathroom. The guest house is situated a few minutes walk from the beach making it quieter and more peaceful than some of the other guest houses in Mirissa, Check out Sunnyplace in more detail here!

Flip Flop Inn is situated right next to Mirissa beach and very close to the whale watching in Mirissa harbor. I really like the fact that breakfast is included in the price AND you get the option of 4 different breakfasts. Very often in Sri Lanka, you will not particularly like the breakfast that is served so having the option between 4 is exceptional at this price point. The rooms all come with good A/C and a large modern bathroom with a shower. Check out more reviews and prices here!

Every room at Ramesh guest house has its own little patio with chairs and tables out the front. I absolutely love this and Jade and I have always used spaces like this in the evening, maybe with a few beers when we’ve had a long day and don’t fancy going to a bar or out for the night. This could be perfect for couples as these private spaces are actually pretty rare for guest houses in Mirissa. The rooms themselves are spacious, clean and have excellent facilities. Check out Ramesh Guest House in more detail here!

Mirissa Breeze prides itself on its exceptional food and its reception which can offer services and advice to any of its guests at any time. Having an actual reception is quite rare for guest houses in Mirissa because usually, the owners are on hand anyway. However, you may find an actual location at the accommodation to get advice from a little more convenient than having to find the owners. If this is more your cup of tea then check out Mirissa Breeze in even more detail here!

Angel Rest is the last of the guest houses in Mirissa on this list and is kind of my wildcard entry. It does not have many reviews (although the ones it does have are pretty good) but it is in an incredible location, is an incredibly beautiful building, the rooms are stunning and the food looks amazing. This may well be a huge up-and-coming guest house and the price is still relatively competitive. I recommend checking it out here for more pictures and pricing!
