Its six spacious rooms and two additional villas feature contemporary design, open-plan layouts, and private terraces with uninterrupted ocean views. Guests can dine at the 71 Bistro and Bar, which showcases a creative mix of Sri Lankan and international cuisine, using fresh, locally sourced ingredients.

With activities like whale watching, visits to Coconut Tree Hill, or simply lounging by the shore, the hotel is ideal for intimate escapes or family holidays. There are four deluxe rooms and two suites; these have views of the Indian Ocean and private balconies.

What we love

    • You are right on Kaburugamuwa Beach and all rooms have ocean views, which is so rare
    • Well located near to Mirissa for those wanting the beach, water sports, surfing and whale watching. This normally takes around 10 minutes by tuk tuk, or you can also walk
    • The rooms are spacious and are beautifully decorated. We found them thoughtfully designed
    • You can visit their sister properties nearby, which is a nice option
    • There are lots of areas to lounge around the pool and close to the beach; this is the perfect place to unwind
Like with many properties, you are close by to the coastal road but once you are in the property and looking out to the Indian Ocean you don't notice this outside guests are occasionally welcomed into the restaurant, but we feel this just adds to the atmosphere when dining There are only six rooms so for people that want abundant facilities, this may not be for you
Families are very much welcomed here. Larger families can book the whole property as there's only six rooms.
Located on Kaburugamuwa Beach, just 5-10 minutes from Mirissa.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
