Leisure point at Mirissa

Color Awards - 2021

Mirissa

Excellence Award

The Leisure point at Mirissa was designed to create a unique leisure dining experience in a small plot of land overlooking the popular turquoise beach strip, approximately 150 kilometers south of Colombo. Mirissa’s beach and nightlife make it a popular tourist destination. The income of the inhabitants is mainly based on tourism and its centuries-old fishing industry. The wide sandy beaches, rocky surfaces surrounded by coconut trees, and the safe sea for adventure sports like surfing are the main attractions in Mirissa. This 10 perch land is situated in a blissful tourist activity destination, between the sea beach and the Galle road. The restaurant has been designed to efficiently utilize the small building footprint which houses a welcoming guest lobby, 52 pax restaurant, 40 pax informal dining, pool, service and other facilities.
