At the guest house, units have bed linen and towels. We had a great time at Pearldrop waves. The owner was very polite and was always available and happy to help us and accommodate us (whether we wanted a tuktuk or information about yala safari). Also we had dinner at the hotel that was great value for money.

At the guest house, all units have a wardrobe. The units are equipped with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms here will provide you with a terrace and some have sea views. At the guest house, units are fitted with bed linen and towels. 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 :)

At the guest house, the units include a wardrobe. Each unit includes a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms are equipped with a balcony and some have sea views. All units at the guest house have air conditioning and a desk. 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.

Offering a garden and inner courtyard view, Digital Nomads is located in Weligama, 1.2 km from Abimanagama Beach and 26 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium. This guest house provides free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. 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!
