Top Weligama Hotel Reviews
The Fortress Resort & Spa Galle
"Stunning hotel and amazing staff !! We went with the whole family and had an incredible time, would highly recommend"
Cascara Weligama
"Everything was perfect, genuinely nothing to fault with this resort. Staff were so nice and friendly, the facilities were 10/10 and the food was amazing at their restaurant. The pool setup was very relaxing, overlooking a nice mangrove river with lots of wildlife. The rooms were also massive, clean and modern and I had a great 3 night stay here, I wouldnโt hesitate to book a stay here again when visiting Sri Lanka."
Coastline Mirissa Boutique hotel and spa
"As a Sri Lankan living abroad who has travelled to many countries, this was a rare and memorable find in Sri Lanka. We had an excellent stay at this beautiful, eco-friendly hotel. It is in a fantastic location, within walking distance of Mirissa Beach, and the property is exceptionally well maintained. The staff were warm, friendly, and always happy to accommodate our requests. A particularly nice touch was being personally greeted by the owners during breakfast, which made us feel genuinely welcome. If youโre looking for a peaceful, sustainable place to stay in Mirissa, I highly recommend this hotel."

"Great view, private access to jungle beach"
Stay Ceylon - Weligama
"This place provides everything you need for an awesome beach experience. Booked the luxury suit for 6 people, love the 2-level layout with 2 bathrooms, 2 king beds and 2 single beds with its own private area. Super clean room and linen, excellent and friendly service, plus amazing beach view and easy beach access! The food and drinks at the restaurant were pretty good too! The only shortcoming is a lack of an elevator which I was told will be addressed soon. Highly recommend!"
Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa
"Very beautiful hotel and people"
Weligama Bay Resort
"Our stay in the garden villa was really great. It was clean and spacious with a semi outdoor bathroom. The pool area was straight in front of the ocean so you could watch the waves from your sunbed. Surf board hire was cheap with a large range of boards. Drinks were cheap and food yummy."
