Mirissa is located in the south of Sri Lanka, between major cities of Galle and Matara. Initially, it was just one small street with a few accommodations and a roti shop. This now has become the popular beach hotspot of Sri Lanka. Nowadays you will find a wide variety of boutique hotels, hostels and cosy guesthouses here. There are also more than enough restaurants, beach clubs and coffee shops.
Mirissa is very popular among tourists. It can get pretty busy here. If you are looking for a lesser-known beach town with fewer crowds, consider going to Dickwella or Trincomalee. In addition, keep in mind that accommodations, especially the high rated ones on Booking.com or Agoda are sold out fast in Mirissa.
