Skip the platforms. Book with us.
The booking sites add up to 20% in commission to your stay. Reserve here and that saving is yours — plus a few things only direct guests get.
Best Rate, Guaranteed
Book on this page and you'll always pay less than Booking.com, Agoda or Airbnb — we cut out their 15–20% commission and pass it to you.
No Booking Fees
Reserve direct with the family who run the house. No middleman, no surprise charges — just the rate you see.
Direct-Guest Perks
Complimentary breakfast on the terrace, early check-in when available, and a sundowner on arrival — reserved for guests who book with us directly.
A house on the sand, run by the people who built it.
Tamarind Bay began as a family home above a fishing cove between Mirissa and Tangalle. Six rooms, a saltwater pool under the palms, and a kitchen that cooks whatever the boats bring in. No lobby, no queue — just the sea twenty steps from your door.
Six rooms, each facing the water.
Rates shown are our direct-booking rates — the lowest you'll find anywhere.
Things to do, all from the gate
Everything below is arranged at reception — most of it within a short walk or a five-minute tuk-tuk.
Whale Watching
Blue and sperm whales surface off Mirissa from November to April. We arrange a small-boat charter with a marine guide.
Surf & Swim
Gentle beach breaks for beginners and a reef point for the experienced, both a short walk from the gate. Boards and lessons on request.
Terrace Dining
Day-boat seafood, garden produce and Sri Lankan rice & curry, served on an open terrace above the sand. Half-board available.
Ayurveda & Spa
Open-air treatment pavilion with a resident therapist — herbal oil massage and yoga at sunrise, arranged the day before.

What our guests say
Real stays, booked direct.
"We booked direct after seeing the rate was lower than Agoda — and got breakfast thrown in. The Ocean Suite opens straight onto the sand. We'll be back."
"Quiet, family-run, and genuinely beautiful. Booking on their own site was simpler than the big platforms and we paid less. The whale trip they arranged was the highlight of the trip."
"A perfect weekend escape from the city. Spotless rooms, wonderful food on the terrace, and the staff treated our kids like their own."
