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 family is so kind and the breakfast is amazing, the best we have had in Sri Lanka. The room is comfortable, very new, with a very good shower. About 10 mins walk to the beach, many restaurants on the way. Definitely recommend staying here.

Situated within a few steps of Thalaramba Beach and 35 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium, PearlDrop Waves Mirissa features rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Mirissa. This property offers access to a balcony and free private parking. Guests can use the indoor pool, or enjoy sea views. PearlDrop in Mirissa was an excellent experience. The room was spotless, with everyone going barefoot to keep beach sand out. Hot water, a great balcony with a beach view, good AC, and perfect lighting made the stay comfortable. The large mirror was a nice touch. Eranga and the staff were extremely helpful, assisting with our whale and dolphin tour and offering great advice. The breakfast was top-notch in both quality and quantity. Highly recommended!

The outdoor bathroom was the biggest selling point. The lady that owns it is SUPER nice.

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. Great location, right by the beach! The beach is great for a swim and less than a 5min walk to Turtle point where you can snorkel and see fish and turtles! Great and varied breakfast with a view. The room is beautifully designed and was kept spotlessly clean throughout our stay!

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Digital Nomads is set in Weligama, 26 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 26 km from Galle Fort. It is located 1.2 km from Abimanagama Beach and offers a shared kitchen. The guest house also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. I had a fantastic stay at this guest house, which is perfectly located just 5 minutes from the local train station and only 10 minutes from the beautiful Weligama beach. The host was incredibly attentive and made sure all our needs were met, providing a welcoming and caring atmosphere throughout our stay. The kitchen is well-equipped, ideal for preparing meals, and the room was not only comfortable but also cozy and peaceful. The garden is a lovely retreat where you can relax and enjoy the surroundings. What’s more, the guest house has a great community vibe, making it an ideal place to meet fellow travelers and share experiences. It was easy to connect with other digital nomads and adventurers. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great base to explore the area while having all the comforts of home!

Guests at the homestay can make the most of yoga classes offered in-house. For guests with children, Secret House offers an indoor play area, outdoor play equipment and a baby safety gate. Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at the accommodation, while cycling and fishing can be enjoyed nearby. Amazing place. A bit tricky to find (see photo of gate you need to go through). Such lovely hospitality, the room was perfect (comfy bed, hot water, Aircon) and great for organising onward travel. Very accommodating host. Really went out of his way. Highly recommend!
