Located in the up and coming coastal town of Midigama on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Lime & Co Hostel is a surfers paradise. This charming hostel is located right opposite the beach within close distance to at least 5 well known surf breaks. Best place to stay!!! The staff is sooo friendly and understanding, especially Mr. Kumara! He made sure everything went smoothly at our stay. The location is PERFECT! There’s a nice area with couches for hanging out near the pool. Absolutely lovely!
