I have been attracted to this place since I visited the first time. Leaving from a busy life for a while and staying in a "Kuti" on top of the hill, surrounded by green trees has become one of my favorites on every trip to Sri Lanka. Relaxing on the wooden floor under palm leaves roof, facing fresh air coming through the green mountains and talking about the inner peace of our lives?? simply, I am craving for it so badly..

This place is lovely for sunset watching; enjoy the sea breeze; under the coconut trees; and nice spot for instagramable photos. The place can be crowded but enough space for anyone find the right spot to relax, chit chat and enjoy the sea view. It is walkable from Mirissa Beach or the Parrot Rock Bridge along the coastal walk, approximately 30-40 mins. Those don’t want to walk can take Tuk-Tuk along Matara Road. We love the sunset here and it was just marvellous!!!
