The Spice House Mirissa

“Beautiful oasis - amazing rooms, facilities and service.”

We loved everything and wish we could stay longer, but we’ll return. The gardens were magical, the house and rooms showed great detail, and breakfast was beautiful. The pool area felt like an oasis. Though close to Mirissa’s action, we felt tucked away in the jungle’s calm. We enjoyed the roof‑monkeys, garden birds, and Cinnamon the dog. Staff and owners were welcoming and hospitable. Thank you. (The only complaint was that we loved everything.)

The staff were kind and available, the room was large and clean, and all the amenities made us feel at home. The infinity pool was stunning and breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. The small slope leading to the gate was a minor annoyance.

“Paradise in Mirissa”

The jungle setting was stunning; we spent afternoons watching peacocks and monkeys by the pool, feeling like a retreat. We all enjoyed massages on the open‑air spa terrace. I wish we’d stayed more than 3 nights. The breakfasts were the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka—beautifully presented, plentiful, and they happily accommodated a vegan request. Cinnamon the dog was the best companion, always around the poolside ready for a fuss. The villa rooms were spacious, clean, and had good air‑conditioning. The villa could use some TLC overall, and walking along the alley to reach the main hotel is a minor inconvenience, but it didn’t ruin our stay.

“Perfect!”

The place was stunning, with a calm, lush jungle right outside. The staff were incredibly attentive and engaging, making it the best stay we’ve had in Sri Lanka.

We stayed in a Heliconia suite, a spacious room overlooking the garden and pool, with both an indoor bathroom and an intimate outdoor shower attached to the bedroom. The staff—every single guy—were truly polite, kind, and helpful, and we felt very comfortable. Every morning, monkeys appeared on the terrace to hang out, and it was strange that they drank and swam from the pool. That’s something the hotel owner can’t fix.
