Guests at the guest house can make the most of yoga classes offered on-site. Guests at MAKAI Surf House will be able to enjoy activities in and around Ahangama, like pub crawls. The accommodation was absolutely great. The room was cozy, comfortable and clean. But the biggest thanks go to the owner, who was very friendly, smiling and helped us with everything and accommodated us. The outdoor seating is also worth mentioning, which was very pleasant. The whole place has a magical atmosphere led by its owner and her family. I highly recommend it to everyone and I hope we will come back soon!

Located just 7 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, Happy Valley Residence Unawatuna offers accommodation in Galle with access to a garden, a terrace, as well as a shared kitchen. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. The guest house features family rooms as well as facilities for disabled guests. The stay was amazing! The rooms were spotless, and the washroom was just like in the photos – clean and exactly what we expected. The host was super friendly and went out of their way to help us with everything. The kitchen was fully functional, so we could cook if we wanted, and they were kind enough to prepare a delicious pure veg breakfast on our request. The location was perfect, too – close to everything we wanted to explore. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a cozy, convenient place to stay!

Galle Fort is 3 km from the guest house, while Galle Light house is 3.4 km away. Koggala Airport is 16 km from the property. Everything was absolutely spotlessly clean and new. While a little on the small side, our room was very comfortable, good value for money, and the A/C was quiet. Delicious breakfast prepared with great care each day. Our host was so nice and helpful and welcoming. Could not fault one thing. The Tide’s Tale high score is well deserved.

Ohana Surf Guest House has an outdoor swimming pool, garden, a shared lounge and terrace in Ahangama. The property is around less than 1 km from Ahangama Beach, 20 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 20 km from Galle Fort. The hotel also features free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. Staying at Ohana was such a wonderful and heartwarming experience! Paula, Rodulfo and the complete staff are the best hosts you can imagine. They do everything to make you feel right at home and become part of their Ohana, their Family. The property is the best we have seen during our stay in Sri Lanka. This level of hospitality is hard to find in this country; they clean the rooms everyday, the breakfast menu is amazing and tasty (from overnight-oats to avotoast and chiapudding!), the pool is very clean and well maintained. They help you with everything you need to find your way in Ahangama and experience this town on its best! We had surf classes every day, absolutely the best and most complete classes we have had. You learn everything about the physical movements, coordination on the board and different types of wave patterns, this helped us improve our surf skills quickly. Every class ended with feedback photo analysis to personally improve more and more every day. Definitely worth the money and really recommend taking Rodulfo’s classes, even if your not staying at their hotel. The only hard part was leaving Ohana since extending our stay wasn’t possible, everything was fully booked and we understand why! We booked another hotel in the same street but were still welcomed at Ohana, this shows us how heartoriented these owners are. Very thankful for this experience!

The guest house specialises in a continental and Asian breakfast and breakfast in the room is also available. At the property, there is an in-house family-friendly restaurant serving dinner and a selection of vegetarian options. The location was perfect for a beach escape and not too far from shops plus restaurants. The pool also added something special for the place. The staff, especially Rasindhu was really helpful and accommodating. Would definitely recommend this place. 😊

Set in Hikkaduwa, 100 metres from Narigama beach and 17 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium, Alvas house offers air-conditioned accommodation with a terrace and free WiFi. With garden views, this accommodation provides a balcony. Outdoor seating is also available at the guest house. Susanna and Tusharo (please excuse me if I’m misspelling the names :) were wonderful hosts. Welcoming and informative. It really felt like our own house. Spotless clean, equipped with everything a traveler needs, beautiful nature around, a garden well kept. Another great thing is the hosts really care about animals and Tusharo shared fascinating information about the connection local people share with the sea turtles (we got lucky and swam with them). The beach has some great surf. Would love to come back and stay more.
