Our Essential Travel Resources :
There are a lot of travel companies out there, but some are better than others. These are our favorite websites and resources to help you plan an incredible trip.

For flights, we recommend using WayAway or Hopper to compare the cheapest dates to travel to your destination.

Car rentals comparisons are best through Discover Cars - just make sure to bring your international driver's permit with you if you're heading somewhere international!

We always use AGODA for hotels. They have an easy-to-use platform where you can compare the best rates.

To keep cell phone service if you're traveling internationally, we always use Airalo’s easy to purchase eSIM’s (no installation required).

For fun things to do, we always recommend Viator to find the best tours in the area, otherwise Klook also does the trick, especially for tours in Asia.

Just in case, Safetywing is the insurance I always use for travel insurance.

Lastly, my packing list for your international or domestic travels.

7 Best Places to Eat in Mirissa

Oh La La - stop here for great fish and chips and a beautiful view of the ocean while still feeling a bit private, they also have a great mango juice and hummus platter!

A++ - located right on Mirissa beach, this spot is more popular with locals, they have a great mushroom burger & jackfruit burger!

Paradise Beach Club - also located right on Mirissa beach, we stopped here because they had an incredible deal on their seafood platter (8,000 rupee for the platter pictured above!) which was so delicious and fresh! if you have a sweet tooth they also have a great chocolate milkshake!

Pappagallo - this is a great spot to stop if you or someone in you're group is looking to surf - nestled between many surf schools and right near Turtle Bay, we would recommend stopping here for snacks and drinks (we loved their bruschetta & fries)

Cafe M - located across the street from Squeeze Me, they have some great smoothie bowls! Pictured above is their avocado smoothie bowl - the only thing we would have preferred is if the smoothie came out chilled

The Avo Club - also located nearby Cafe M and Squeeze Me, this spot had a delicious Mexican rice with jackfruit - we wanted to go back another day but unfortunately their power was out

Sleek House - ok so this technically isn't a restaurant, but instead the Airbnb we stayed at - the reason we included them in this list is because they truly served the most incredible breakfasts - and we 1,000% recommend staying with them if you're wanting an included breakfast like what's pictured above every morning!

Looking to stock up for snacks at home? Cargills Food City is perfect for snacks and any other on the go items!
