Paradise Beach Club

Introduction

Paradise Beach Club was one of the very first hotels on the stunning bay of Mirissa on Sri Lanka's south coast. Its laid-back beach atmosphere made it a great favourite, but it has the task of lifting its game against many rivals: its situation has few betters along the coast. Its idyllic location, good food and homely feel, has won the hearts of many repeat guests including families with children. It is a sister property to the mid-market Palace Hotel, which lies on the top of the hill about 10 minutes walk away.
