Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Our hostel is located in small town on the South Coast of Sri Lanka. We have many local staff members that would love to teach you some Sinhala and tell you everything about the local culture. You'll also get the full local food experience (get exited about the amazing rice&curries), because the family dinners we host are home cooked meals by the local people. We’re also set on creating an international social vibe, so meeting new people and sharing travel stories is guaranteed!

What else ...
The south is known for the amazing beaches. If you're a surfer, you can catch some great waves. If you want to learn how to surf, there are enough places where you can take a lesson. Our hostels are well-located, close to the beach, either for a surf or a chill day.
In the area there are also many cool things to visit by scooter or bus, and there is always a town within walking distance, so surely you won't get bored here!
