Set in Matara, 300 metres from Madiha Beach, Spindrift Hostel Madiha offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. The property is around 32 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, 46 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium and 46 km from Galle Fort. Dutch Church Galle is 47 km from the hostel and Galle Light house is 47 km away. Amazing hostel! One of the best run hostels I've stayed in. It's incredibly clean, especially bathrooms. Is very comfortable with great facilities (pool, rooftop and chill space). Everything feels new and is in great condition. Awesome vibe because of managers Jesse + Mies who are amazing people - so kind and friendly. They are on it straight away if you need help or anything fixing. Volunteers run the social activities both daytime and night so easy to meet people but can just chill on your own easily. The staff are lovely and make super tasty food and drinks - banging cocktails. The co-working space is air conned and good desk space. Also really appreciated the kettle and fridge in the small kitchen space behind the building as I like to make my own breakfast and tea. I am hoping to return for another stay because it is one of the best places in Sri Lanka!

The manager and staff were very friendly and hospitable - Manjeve was very generous with sharing meals and providing his company during the days he is there. Really fun vibe at the hostel. Kept clean despite people bringing in sand from the beach constantly. Priced appropriately for the high quality I was their last guest of 2024 and had an exceptional new year's eve thanks to the host's hospitality and wonderful people I met at the hostel. Ended up spending 3 nights in Mirissa!
