The vibrant beach destination of Mirissa is set to welcome a new addition to its hospitality scene this November with the launch of Suwa Chandu Mirissa, a stylish boutique hotel designed to combine contemporary comfort with the relaxed charm of coastal living.
Featuring a tropical-inspired design with elegant archways, calming teal accents, and rich wooden finishes, the upcoming property aims to provide guests with a tranquil and immersive stay experience in one of Sri Lanka’s most popular seaside destinations.
Located just 70 metres from the shoreline, Suwa Chandu Mirissa offers guests convenient access to the beach, ocean activities, local dining spots, and nearby attractions. The property further enhances the coastal experience with a complimentary shuttle service, allowing guests to reach Mirissa’s main beach within five minutes.
Created with privacy and personalised hospitality in mind, the boutique hotel features only six thoughtfully designed guest rooms, offering an intimate atmosphere away from the usual crowds. Despite its exclusive size, the property provides a range of premium facilities including a swimming pool, welcoming lobby area, à la carte dining, and a rooftop bar and lounge offering panoramic views of the coastline and tropical sunsets.
Beyond relaxation, Suwa Chandu Mirissa is positioned as a gateway for adventure, with curated experiences, personalised excursions, and easy access to some of the region’s most popular whale-watching and surfing locations.
Whether seeking ocean adventures, peaceful moments by the sea, or a stylish coastal retreat, Suwa Chandu Mirissa is set to offer travellers a memorable escape when it opens this November. Booking details will be announced ahead of the official launch.
Beijing Capital Airlines Announces Return of Direct Colombo Flights, Supporting Sri Lanka Tourism Growth
Beijing Capital Airlines is set to resume its direct flight operations between Beijing and Colombo this September, marking an important step in restoring air connectivity between Sri Lanka and China following years of disruption.
The return of the Beijing–Colombo route is expected to provide renewed momentum for Sri Lanka’s tourism sector, supporting the country’s ongoing efforts to increase international visitor arrivals. The service will also strengthen connections between the two nations across tourism, business, and people-to-people exchanges.
The reinstated route will complement the existing air network between China and Sri Lanka, with 23 weekly flights currently operating between mainland China and the island. The additional connectivity is expected to provide Chinese travellers with greater convenience and flexibility when planning visits to Sri Lanka.
For Sri Lanka, increased connectivity with China — one of the world’s largest outbound tourism markets — holds strategic importance as the country continues its economic recovery. Direct flights offer travellers greater convenience by reducing travel time and improving accessibility, enhancing Sri Lanka’s appeal as a preferred destination.
Tourism industry stakeholders are expected to welcome the announcement, with the September relaunch providing airlines, hotels, and tourism operators the opportunity to prepare for a potential increase in Chinese visitor arrivals during the latter part of the year.
The return of Beijing Capital Airlines’ direct service is set to further strengthen Sri Lanka’s position as a globally connected tourism destination while deepening ties between Sri Lanka and China.
