The Hotel

A serene retreat on Sri Lanka's
southern coast

Tucked away in a lush garden with tall tropical trees, Lily Mirissa is a quiet escape just 500 metres — a seven-minute walk — from Mirissa's golden beach. Close enough to the ocean, yet far from the noise of the main road and the beach parties.

Our small hotel opened in December 2025 with fifteen bright, spacious rooms. Floor-to-ceiling windows fill the interiors with natural light, and every room opens onto a private terrace overlooking the greenery.

Guest reviews

Fresh, quiet and welcoming — guests say it best

The hotel is new; everything feels fresh and clean, and the use of natural materials creates a calm, cozy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful, really going out of their way to ensure I felt comfortable. … I would happily recommend this hotel to anyone looking for peaceful, stylish accommodation in Mirissa.

Natalia Nikitenko · via Google

It's a brand-new hotel, so everything feels sparkling new and fresh — the rooms, bathrooms and finishes are spotless and beautifully done. The design has a modern European luxury feel. The location is perfect — very close to the beach and the main street, but tucked away enough to be quiet at night. … Geeth, the manager, is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares about his guests. We actually extended our stay because we liked the hotel so much — after three weeks of travelling around Sri Lanka, this was definitely our best accommodation.

L. G. · via Google

Our stay at Lily Mirissa has been amazing. We felt very welcome by Geeth and his staff. The rooms were spacious and clean. It's a very quiet space close to the bustling city of Mirissa. The breakfast was good and I had some nice conversations with Geeth. Will definitely come back if we visit Sri Lanka again one day!
