At the guest house, units are equipped with a wardrobe. At the guest house, the units are fitted with bed linen and towels.

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 place is pretty, well maintained, and clean. Nice vibe to chill. All the staff is super friendly and welcoming. I appreciate the guide for a quick intro to the town, restaurants, and surf spots. I also appreciate the board with upcoming events around. Makai is at a ~6 min walk from the main street and in front of a bus stop in this main street, convenient to go to downtown or surf spots. Even more convenient if you have a motorbike. Some of the restaurants nearby are good so you can just walk to get good food. Would recommend!

Boasting views of the garden, all units in the property come with private entrance and a pool with a view. Every unit comes with a kettle, a private bathroom and free WiFi, while certain rooms are fitted with a terrace and some have pool views. At the guest house, every unit includes bed linen and towels. I had a beautiful room with an outdoor shower which I loved. The garden is a real oasis with interesting wildlife to spot and it was really relaxing to spend some time by the pool before walking down to the beach. The garden here is really special and the architecture of the building is beautiful. The staff were super attentive.

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.

The units at the guest house feature private entrance and soundproofing so guests can enjoy a peaceful stay. There is a private bathroom with walk-in shower in all units, along with bathrobes and free toiletries. At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. We spent two nights at this lovely guest house and had an amazing experience. The location is perfect — right by the sea and in a very quiet area, far from the noise of the city, which made our stay even more relaxing. Direct access to the beach. The hosts were incredibly kind, helpful and attentive throughout our visit. They made us feel very welcome and at home. Breakfast was a real highlight: generous, varied and prepared with great care. Every morning we enjoyed a delicious and beautifully arranged meal — a perfect start to the day. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful seaside getaway with warm hospitality and excellent service. We would definitely come back!
