Mirissa Hills is 5-10 mins off the coastal road and entails a short drive over a train crossing, alongside paddy fields, up a bumpy road and through a tea plantation to where the hotel is nestled on a cool sea breeze hill, with views out over the Indian Ocean and surrounding countryside. The location is exactly where you would have... More

If staying atop of a working cinnamon plantation with fabulous views of Mirissa Beach, service so warm and slick that you forget you ever had to make your own breakfast and where the only decision you have to make is what to have for lunch and whether or not to take a swim in the deep blue pool, then Mirissa...

There's something special about this place. Yes, it's a ride away from the beach, and yes it's up a very bumpy mountain road. But once you get to the top it's well worth it. The design, the quality of the fittings, the furniture, even the crockery is all top stuff. It breathes quality. It has an air and an atmosphere... More

Mirissa Hills provides a unique ambience and a great view from the villa and upper restaurant, especially at sunset. The vegetable curries were by far the best local food we had in Sri Lanka and the service is really amazing! It is certainly the wrong place if you want to be close to the beach and village, but it is... More

Mirissa Hills is placed on top of a hill and away from the beach just past Weligama town. If you are trying to go here for the beach you will not be happy. Its more a quiet relaxing location. The road to get to it is not easy as you go through a cinnamon estate and you have to climb... More

A caveat to this review. We stayed in the Museum building. We did not stay at, or even see the main house. By all reports it is much more luxurious than the museum building. Plus - private, quiet, great food, setting Minus - out of the way, foam mattresses, museum not yet anywhere near completion, bumpy road, price The museum... More

We loved staying at Mirissa HIlls. It is away from the beach, but if you like a quiet holiday in a beautiful setting (cinnamon plantation on top of the hill overlooking Mirissa bay) then this is the place for you. You go up a winding road through a tropical forest which turns into a cinnamon plantation and then come to... More

Situated high amidst a sprawling cinnamon plantation, this haven offers seclusion from the hussle-and-bustle of the tourist tract closer to the beach, but is still ideally situated to allow you to explore and enjoy what the Southern coastline of Sri Lanka has to offer. Make sure you stay at the top of the hill(and not at the "bungallow" lower down.... More

Me and my boyfriend called Mount Cinnamon home for 8 nights. We loved every second of our stay. We were made so welcome by Herman, Thilak, the two house boys and the chef. They were so kind, nothing was ever too much trouble. Prusanna one of the house boys even gave my boyfriend a quick cocktail class one night, so... More

MIRISSA HILLS - Sunset is magnificent. Order a cocktail, sit back and let the drama unfold.

Boasting 360-degree views out to the sea over Weligama Bay and inland to the Denipitiya Hills, capturing the changing lights and moods of the breathtaking landscape, the Estate comprises of 3 magnificently built Villas, which makes it the ideal venue to celebrate outdoor weddings & parties. MOUNT CINNAMON holds the crown among all, which is designed to perfection, it is a pure and elegant essay in the island’s vernacular; majestic, but both celebratory and respectful of its surroundings. THE CINNAMON MUSEUM is also immaculately presented and enhanced by vibrant paintings, sculptures and collections especially commissioned Sri Lankan art.
