Ocean View – Mirissa (www.ocenviewmiris.com), a luxury hotel located in the picturesque beach of Mirissa, was declared open recently.

Managed under the directorship of Chandana Samaranayake and Saji Bandaranayake, the hotel comprises five luxury rooms with all modern ameneties such as attached bathrooms with hot and cold water, cable TV, mini bar, tea/coffee pantry, A/C and comfortable furniture.

A surfing hotspot on Sri Lanka’s south coast, golden-sand Mirissa Beach has a warm, laid-back atmosphere that attracts a younger crowd. Surfing conditions are best in the morning, while whale watching excursions are popular in the afternoon. Shallow waters at Mirissa beach, that is just two minutes’ walk from the hotel, is an ideal place for a sea bath.

Whale watching, surfing, fishing and cycling are the major activities available for holiday makers at Ocean View Hotel. It is a fine location for those who need a calm and tranquil holiday away from the din and bust of the city and the stress of restless schedules.

Polite hospitality and delicious food of both Western and Oriental cuisines and reasonable rates are the features that make Ocean View distinct amongst other hotels in the area. The hotel is aptly named as a mesmerising view of the Indian Ocean is available on top of the hotel floor.

Major tourist attractions in Down South including  Hikkaduwa coral reef, Galle Dutch Fort, Rumassala, Unawatuna, Polhena and temples such Wevurukannala and Veherahena are easily accessible from Ocean View hotel.

A free whale watching excursion is arranged for those who stay for more than two weeks at Ocean View. Those who stay more than a week are entitled to a visit to rural areas including tea, rubber and cinnamon plantations.
