The location is great, close to excellent restaurants and just 200 meters from the beach. It’s very quiet and has a huge swimming pool. The service is amazing, the place is clean, and the breakfast was also very good.

Company information

Riverside Cabanas is a family-run hospitality project that started in Mirissa several years ago with one simple dream — to create a place where guests can truly relax and feel at home in the middle of nature. What began as a small idea has grown into a charming boutique property that welcomes travelers from all over the world. Our team has been managing holiday accommodations in Mirissa for more than 6 years, and we take pride in offering a warm, personal experience rather than just a stay. Every guest is greeted with genuine hospitality, local recommendations, and the little touches that make each visit special. We currently manage Riverside Cabanas and a few private villas nearby, each designed with the same philosophy — comfort, nature, and care in every detail. We love to share the beauty of Sri Lanka, from its tropical gardens and beaches to the kindness of its people. What makes our company different is our dedication: we are always available for our guests, we care about every smile, and we believe that travel should be full of warmth and sincerity. Whether you’re coming for a peaceful holiday, a romantic escape, or a family adventure — our goal is to make you feel like part of our island family. 🌿

Property information

🌿 About Riverside Cabanas Mirissa Hidden in the heart of Mirissa, Riverside Cabanas is a peaceful tropical retreat for those who seek harmony, comfort, and a deep connection with nature. Our boutique hotel combines the natural charm of the island with thoughtful modern comfort — the perfect place to unwind just a few minutes from the famous Mirissa Beach. Surrounded by greenery and the soothing sounds of the river, each room is a cozy space with warm wooden interiors, natural materials, and soft lighting. Whether you’re enjoying a cup of Ceylon coffee on the balcony or watching the sunset through the palm trees, it’s easy to slow down and feel completely relaxed. Guests especially love our spacious tropical garden, crystal-clear swimming pool, and open-air lounge area — perfect for morning yoga, reading, or simply listening to the birds. We serve fresh local breakfasts with tropical fruits, coconut roti, and authentic Sri Lankan dishes made with love. Almost every morning, a friendly family of monkeys visits our garden, climbing over the fence on their way home. They’re curious and playful, and guests often enjoy taking lovely photos with them right in our yard. It’s a small but magical moment that brings a smile and adds a touch of true tropical charm. Riverside Cabanas is more than just accommodation — it’s an experience of calm island living. You can walk to the beach, explore cozy local cafés, join whale-watching tours, or discover secret beaches nearby. It’s a place where families, couples, and solo travelers alike can feel at home while surrounded by the beauty of Sri Lanka. Our guests often say that what makes Riverside Cabanas special is its peaceful energy, warm atmosphere, and personal touch. Whether you come for a short getaway or a long vacation, you’ll find the perfect balance of nature, comfort, and genuine hospitality. Welcome to Riverside Cabanas — let the river, the palms, and the tropical breeze remind you how beautiful life can be. 🌴

Neighbourhood information

Riverside Cabanas is located in the heart of Mirissa — one of the most beautiful coastal towns in southern Sri Lanka. Our neighborhood perfectly combines the peaceful rhythm of local life with the vibrant energy of the ocean. Guests love this area for its calm tropical atmosphere, friendly people, and the fact that everything is just a short walk away. Within a few minutes you can reach the famous Mirissa Beach, known for its golden sand, turquoise waves, and unforgettable sunsets. It’s also one of the best spots in the world for whale watching — boats depart from the harbor every morning for tours where you can see blue whales and dolphins. Nearby you’ll find cozy cafés and restaurants offering both local and international cuisine — try fresh seafood, tropical smoothies, or traditional rice & curry at a beachside table. For those who enjoy exploring, we recommend visiting Coconut Tree Hill, Secret Beach, and Parrot Rock, all within walking distance from the property. For a day trip, you can easily reach Weligama for surfing lessons, or visit the historic Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage site located just 45 minutes away. Guests often say that what they love most about our area is its perfect balance — peaceful and green, yet full of life and adventure just around the corner. Whether you want to relax under the palms or explore Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Mirissa is the ideal place to experience both. 🌅
