Spa Hotels in Matara

We choosed this place after two very long flights as we arrived from the other site of the world, Costa Rica. Our choice was based to be able to relax and...this was the best decision ever. The place is super quite, super nice staff, Restaurants are a 5-10 minutes walk and the more turistique place Mirissa is just a 10 minutes drive. This combination was for us just the perfect place to be.

We tried both rooms and had an excellent, restful experience at Ruvee Nature Rest. Everything is true to photos. The room is spacious, the furniture is beautiful, everything is clean, our warm & friendly host Dinu is also a WhatsApp text away if we needed anything. Beds were so comfortable and towels were soft & fluffy. Do remember to bring along your own shower gel & shampoo. Breakfast was delicious and of great value! There's also a self-catering area along the corridor with a stove, kettle, sink, etc. if you want to make a cup of tea and enjoy the view. Great location close to restaurants, supermarkets and Mirissa Beach, yet very quiet at night. Wished we could've stayed longer!

Tucked just 50 meters from the tranquil shores of Polhena Beach, Reef Edge Hotel offers a charming blend of simplicity, comfort, and authentic coastal hospitality. This two-story villa is not a designer retreat—but that’s precisely its charm.

Lovely tranquil hotel with a nice clean pool. Just what we needed to wind down after a hectic week of surfing and partying in weligama. The bed was very comfortable and we also had a balcony. I feel we were well lokked 😍

it’s very clean, nice hot shower!! they provide towels, soap, shampoo, you’ll have an air con, fan in the room!! the breakfast is really good (and with an amazing view)! the chef is very friendly (like all the staff in the hotel). you can enjoy food in the restaurant upstairs whenever you want. moreover it’s possible to buy beer, water. ;;) matara is just 10min drive which is good! and the bus stop is very close to the hotel. it is worth noting that right next to the hotel there is a surf school with a very cool instructor. it’s called summer soulish. the spot is perfect. not many surfers around! highly recommend you to visit this place! i’m definitely coming back next year!

It's a great place , it's a complex of 3 areas , in front of the beach , amazing stay.

We loved our stay at LakRaj! We were there with a 1 year old and the corner, sea view room was perfect for us. The staff was exceptional, helping us out whenever we needed and even watched our baby sometimes while we ate breakfast :) The cleaning crew also did a great job. We actually had to extend our stay one day, since we enjoyed it that much. There’s plenty restaurants within walking distance, and you can even walk to a grocery store that’s about 15 min away. There’s also lots of eager tuk tuk drivers that will happily drive you. Highly recommend going for a swim with giant sea turtles that’s just past Dr. House (also a great venue for food and drinks).

Nice seaside place to stay! Veeery kind and helpful staff!!

Where do I even begin? This might be a long post 🙂 This was hands down one of the best places my wife and I have ever stayed at—and we’ve traveled quite a lot. I had planned a 5-day trip to Sri Lanka for my wife’s birthday, with the idea of staying here for 2 nights and then moving to Colombo for the rest. But we ended up staying here for 4 nights straight, simply because it was that blissful. I can’t point to just one reason—we loved everything. Here are a few highlights: 1. The Location Perched on the highest point in Mirissa, this place offers the best view in town. You don’t need to go anywhere else for the sunset—just grab a drink, head up to their terrace, and enjoy. Plus, it’s only a 5-minute walk to Mirissa Beach. 2. The Food Unlike other hotels, there are no standard buffets here. Instead, a thoughtfully curated menu of Sri Lankan and European dishes. The food was absolutely outstanding—simple, fresh, and delicious. I’m a vegetarian, while my wife eats chicken, and both of us loved every meal. 3. The Rooms & Facilities We stayed in a double room—spacious, spotless, and perfect. The property has two swimming pools, one at the top with breathtaking views. What stood out was how well-maintained they were, with little to no chlorine, so no itchy eyes—such a thoughtful detail. 4. The Hospitality One word: Finest. From the receptionist to the GM to the owner, every single person radiated warmth and positivity. When I had an issue with my Forex card, they went out of their way to help. They surprised my wife with a birthday cake and even gifted us souvenirs. Honestly, they made us feel like family. “It felt like home away from home.” We’re already planning to return, this time with more family, just to experience it all over again.

The room was very spacious. The family that runs the place was very helpful, and I got a good price on the whale watching tour through the hotel. Also I arrived in Mirissa a day earlier and they were very accommodating and gave me the room for an extra day.
