A beachfront swimming pool, and sandy beach dotted with sumptuous loungers and mini cabanas offers plenty of relaxation space for the hotels handful of guests, and the hotel also has a small library, and wonderful seafood restaurant. For other dining options, guests can enjoy a walk along the beach to Mirissa's bustling bay, lined with local restaurants.

From Casa Collection Mirissa, guests can explore the beach by quad bike, or explore the surrounding countryside by bicycle, learn to surf at Weligama Bay, or try their hand (and feet) at paddleboarding.
