The Seascape

I stayed at Seascape for three nights immediately after arriving from England as part of my one-month travels around Sri Lanka. It is a solid three-star property — fairly basic, and you generally get what you pay for — but it has one major advantage: location. Highlights: • The hotel is right on the beachfront. • The beach stretches for about 1 km and is beautiful, relatively wild, and not overcrowded. • Great for long walks and surfing. • Not overly developed, which makes it feel peaceful and authentic. • Staff were genuinely kind and helpful. • Breakfast was good and enjoyable each morning. Things to note: • Rooms are simple and functional. • I experienced a slight drainage smell in the room, though it wasn’t overwhelming. • Dinner was underwhelming on both evenings I ate there — quite basic and slightly overcooked. I would recommend going out for dinner instead, as there are better options nearby. Overall, if you are looking for beachfront access, a relaxed atmosphere, and good value at a three-star level, this is a reasonable option. Just manage expectations regarding room standard and dinner quality.

Lovely staff. Kind, friendly. Good value.

The Seascape is a beautiful property right on a quiet section of beach close to SK Town surf break. Stunning views. Our family of three spent 3 nights. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful and kind. Breakfast each morning was delicious and the evening dinner specials were fantastic; varied Sri Lankan cuisine. Highly recommended

Everything was good but there were a lot of ants and flying insects in the room

The Seascape is a nice hotel at a calm beach very close to Matara and 30min to mirissa by tuktuk (~5$). There are also several restaurants, Surf shops and convenience stores in walking distance (5-10 min) The hotel is very clean, rooms are super comfy, air-con and hot water works perfectly. The breakfast was really good and you can enjoy it with a view on the beach and waves. The garden in front has a direct entrance to the beach, there are always high waves, which makes it a perfect spot for surfers. What makes this hotel really special, is the people. The whole staff and the owner family are simply amazing and lovely! We can only recommend the seascape!
