Mirissa is a little beach town located on the south coast of Sri Lanka, 150 kilometres south of Colombo. As of late, Mirissa has become quite the popular spot for a lot of reasons, one being the nightlife.
Secret Beach
If you want to visit an Instagram-sensation, then the secret beach is one place to visit. However, unlike the name, the beach isn’t so hard to find! You can simply look for ‘secret beach’ on google maps, and then it’s just a matter of getting to it from any of the Mirissa hotels!
Parrot rock
Just 7 minutes from Sri Sharavi Beach Villas & Spa, you’ll find a famous spot called the parrot rock. This little rock is a simple climb to the top where you can enjoy gorgeous views of the sunset and sunrise.
Party on the beach
If you’re looking for a party, Mirissa is the place to visit! The parties held in Mirissa attract plenty of backpackers to this city, and if you’re looking to experience the parties the best time to visit is during peak months. There are a few bars on the beach and makeshift dance floors for you to bust some moves once the sun sets!
Whale watching
There is a season for whale watching, so if you’re intending to do this, you must visit mid-November through April if you want to spot any of these majestic beasts!
Palm tree forest
Another chance to snap the perfect Instagram worthy picture is the palm tree forest in Mirissa. Finding this little beautiful spot isn’t too difficult!
