The units at the homestay feature private entrance and soundproofing so guests can enjoy a peaceful stay. Every unit comes with a private bathroom, a safety deposit box and free WiFi, while certain rooms are fitted with a balcony and some have garden views. All units will provide guests with a desk and a kettle. The accomodation and hospitality were absolutely brilliant - originally booked for 2 nights and extended for another. The room was very spacious, AC and a fan. The host invited me for breakfast the first morning and helped with anything I needed organising including washing and getting me a tuk tuk. The family is really so nice. The hotel is about a 10 minute walk from the lovely beach - surfed loads and was provided a beach towel when I asked!

Featuring bicycle parking, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The homestay provides rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi. The location was perfect in that it is a few minutes' walk away from the beach and restaurants. I felt at home and really slept well. Everything was spotless and serene of the place. Breakfasts were also filling, delicious and beautiful.

Located in Hiriketiya and only 2.1 km from Hiriketiya Beach, Jungle Escape Hiriketiya provides accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. 5.9 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole and 19 km from Weherahena Buddhist Temple, the property offers a garden and a terrace. The guest house features family rooms. I booked this property based on a review written by a family similar to ours. And the open air bathroom. We are a family of 4 with a 5 yr old girl and 2 year old boy. We rented the large family suite and it couldn’t have been more perfect. Less then 5 mins from the beach, large comfortable double beds with mosquito nets, a shared kitchenette, large comfortable bathroom with hot water and AC. The owners were such lovely accommodating people. The best part was the location. Hiritekiya is an Instagramy digital nomady hotspot, and Jungle Escape is located in the less developed part of the beach. So we were close to everything but in a more tranquil environment.

Set within 400 metres of Madiha Beach and 32 km of Hummanaya Blow Hole, Surf Lodge Madiha offers rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Matara. Situated on the beachfront, this property features a garden. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The Surf Lodge is beautifully decorated with a lot of love and taste. It offers amazing breakfast and a direct access to the beach. It is managed by the super kind Che who was always very attentive to help us organize a few things around the area. What we particularly loved about the hotel (apart from the amazing spacious rooms and the delicious (vegetarian) food) was that it is Che’s family home and has such a friendly and calming vibe :) it’s only a short walk to local restaurants and bars and Madiha’s main beach is also only a few minutes away. Thanks for having us :)

Parasol dore is a recently renovated guest house in Dickwella, where guests can take a dip in its infinity pool and make the most of its free WiFi, private beach area and water sports facilities. Situated on the beachfront, this property has a garden. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. Parasol Dore is a gorgeous gem of a villa, situated on a small and quiet beach near Dickwella. We loved the location, very quiet but within walking or short tuk-tuk distance to Dickwella and Hiriketiya when we felt like “opting in” to those other places. Most of all we loved the staff - everyone - made us feel at home in ways we could never have expected! We are so grateful we could stay here.

This beachfront property offers access to free WiFi and free private parking. The accommodation features full-day security, luggage storage space and currency exchange for guests. Absolutely in love with the place that Wounderfull couple is managing! The whole team made out stay incredible and unforgettable, the varied so much about us almost every moment we stepped out of the room. Mr and Mrs Dias are always in the hotel, approachable if you need something. The hotel has a great security, it is not easy for strangers to come in. Also it is located on the Main Street it is very quiet and we slept well. The beach and some good restaurants are just couple minutes walk. The room was clean with everything you need, comfortable beds, hot shower with very good water pressure. Breakfast was very good with small compliments from the chef. We really enjoyed the place and would love to come back to this particular hotel next time we visit Sri Lanka.
