Lantern Boutique Hotel, situated on the unspoiled Kaburugamuwa Beach near Mirissa, offers an elegant blend of luxury and simplicity.
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.
