The guy running this is really friendly and is super knowledgeable about the turtles that come to this bay. He also keeps an eye on the well-being of the local turtles and waits up most nights when they lay their eggs to protect them from people trying to steal them. One of the guys went out with us to show us the best spots and saw a beautiful big turtle :)

This is so much more than the average feel good massage. Don't get me wrong, you'll feel good but Anu delivers more. He truly feels what's bothering you and can help you by massage, herbal oil advices and even techniques you can take home. More than one session is highly recommendable as in the first session he examines where issues might be. In the following session(s) he can work on that. Enjoy!

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!!!

The beach is a bit of a mission to get to. We took a tuk tuk and had to walk the last couple of minutes as the road gets too rough. There are two main sections of the beach. The first one was wavy so we went around the corner and enjoyed the calm lagoon created from the rocky outcrop blocking the waves. The sand is coarse but the setting is spectacular and the calm natural pool was an awesome way to cool off. Worth visiting while you’re in Mirissa!
