Carefree Mirissa Beach in Sri Lanka

April 3, 2015
Mirissa beach in Sri Lanka offers incredible ocean views and the sound of waves when falling asleep at night, whale watching, local curry, outstanding yoga and even surfing! Mirissa is for everyone that wants to relax at the beach.

We stayed at Palm Villa at Mirissa beach in Sri Lanka. The day’s highlight was the sound of the waves when falling asleep at night; it was a paradise for me. Mirissa Beach is the place for doing nothing more than just being. A perfect spot to spend a couple of days if being a beach lover. We relaxed, We were reading, having a swim in the ocean, then some eating, and then we just repeated it all over again.

The Perfect Vacation Spot in Sri Lanka: Mirissa beach

Palm Villa at Mirissa

The room at Palm Villa was of a very nice standard for being in Sri Lanka. We didn’t spend much time in our room. Most of the time, we stayed in the area outside, either sunbathing or having something to eat. There are not many restaurants at Mirissa beach in Sri Lanka, so we had most of our food at the guesthouse. It was excellent food, and the seafood was delicious. The curry never lets us down either. International cuisine is not an international standard; we loved them for trying.

If I could stay again at Mirissa Beach, I would stay at Three Gables Boutique Villa

We also had a most beautiful yoga experience; I will recommend you to try if you like yoga.

We also loved drinking the pineapple juice at Mirissa Beach in Sri Lanka.

It’s never going to be the same again.

Best pineapple in life.

Fruit in Sri Lanka is on another level

We had a lot of fruit for breakfast.

Then there is whale watching. Must do when staying in Mirissa beach in Sri Lanka. A beautiful day out in the boat, watching the blue whale – the most significant animal that has ever existed. That is something to see; it gives you a magical feeling. There were also 100 dolphins or more crossing the road on the way home. They all looked thrilled, swimming away.

    • Sustainable Travel with Pauline Travels

    A Norwegian Travel Voice & Trying to Impact the World by Nudging People to Choose More Sustainable Travel.

    I’m shaped by nature. I grew up at the edge of th I’m shaped by nature.

I grew up at the edge of the Stadt peninsula — where the ocean doesn’t negotiate and the wind decides your plans. You learn early to read the sky. To sense the shift before the squall rolls in. To move before the door is pushed open.

The weather isn’t small talk at the coast.
It’s strategy.
It’s timing.
It’s survival.

And the women knew it best.

While the men were at sea, coastal women held everything together — land, livestock, homes, children, community. They didn’t call it resilience. They simply lived it.

They understood something very important that we need to remember well. 

You don’t dominate nature.
You collaborate with it.

Today I live in the Lofoten Islands, again surrounded by strong coastal women. Different generation. Same backbone.

To adapt when conditions shift.
To build with the landscape, not against it.
To know when to move — and when to stand firm.

To me, that is a coastal inheritance. 

The coast teaches you self-efficacy. Patience. Awareness. Respect.

It shapes women who know that sustainability isn’t about control — it’s about relationship.

And that’s the spirit I carry into my work, my travels, and the future I’m building.

Thank you @dino.serrao for capturing my coastal spirit in this portrait.
    2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times wi 2025 was rich in good memories, wonderful times with family and friends! It went so fast! Many highlights this year! And many great hikes even in Lofoten and Sunnmøre! 

2025, I have used less time on my phone more flight mode, more with just being. It will continue onward for 2026. I’m still traveling and doing many mini adventures. Mostly being with loved ones. 

In April we were in Cuba, which always disconnect but reconnect you much better with what matters and the importance of being grateful and appreciating what you have in Life. When we travel, how can we travel well, how do we show up at a destination. 

My last international travel this year was Lanzarote, famous for its landscape and architecture. Best of all traveling with my sister. We used public buses, eat at different local places and guided tour to the national park. What an island! 

I think one word that has been important this year for me is mindful. Be aware, be curious, ask open questions, reflect more before speaking and listen. 

Being in nature is the best gift for human nature. We must visit more often. We must focus on our sleep quality. 

I think 2025 have been a year of flowing and protecting my energy on what sparks joy to me. The most limited resource we have is time. How can we live the most happy with the time we have. How can we use our time and energy well. 

2025 I’m very grateful for the year it was a blessing filled with love laughters, friendship and some important life reflections and some new changes. 

2026, welcome let’s embrace and see where the wind takes us this year! 

Wishing you all the very best new year filled with abundance, hope and peace. May the year be as good as you want it to be! Or even better as magical as you want ✨🤩
    October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The October disappeared in the blink of an eye! 😃 The start of the month was breathtaking in Lofoten. We welcomed German travel experts for a MEGAFAM trip in the Lofoten Islands and had a blast connecting with new faces and industry colleagues. Truly amazing!!🤩 #lofoten #lofotenislands #megafam #lofoteninfo #visitnorway
    Greece is always a good plan! This time we went is Greece is always a good plan! This time we went island jumping to Skiathos and Skopelos. You know the Mamma Mia Islands 🌞 Also Athens, but next post. I think Skopelos has the clearest water I have seen in Europe. So stunning so pure, wow! So green the Island. Could have been away longer as always, but now living slow cabin life before hitting back North. #islandescape #greece #visitgreece #skiathos #skopelos #islandsofadventure
