    Day 1 – Arrival in Mirissa

    As you approach the popular beach resort of Mirissa you’ll pass coconut palms, ocean views and fishermen on stilts. You’ll be staying in a friendly, boutique hotel with easy access to the palm-fringed beach and places to eat. The sea here can be rough at times, but the property has a swimming pool and there’s plenty of space to relax in the gardens. Time to crack open a coconut and relax!

    Day 2 – Free time in Mirissa

    Today you have a free day to relax and explore in Mirissa. You could spend a couple of hours on the beach, wander up to Coconut Tree Hill or climb Parrot Rock for wide ocean views. Or take a tuk tuk to Secret Beach if you’re after something quieter. If you want to try surfing,  it’s just a 10-minute hop to Weligama where you can easily arrange a surf lesson. From November to April we can arrange a snorkelling trip near Mirissa – ask your Travel Specialist for more details.
