    Description

    Shaaz is a long term traveler, surfer, and hospitality guy who created this premium hostel concept in Sri Lanka. After spending years running stays and hostels in Dubai and traveling around the world, he decided Sri Lanka was the right place to bring his island life dream to reality. The idea is simple: a beachfront hostel where comfort, community, culture, and coastal living all come together. The hostels are designed for travelers, surfers, digital nomads, and anyone who loves a social but comfortable stay. They offer private rooms, stylish dorms, hangout spaces, a bar, a restaurant, and weekly activities that bring people together. The plan is not just one location , the goal is to raise the hostel standards in Sri Lanka and slowly build a chain of premium hostels across the island. Every place will focus on sustainability, community vibes, and real Sri Lankan coastal culture. For Shaaz, this is not just a business, it’s his personal dream: creating spaces where people connect, surf, make memories, and feel the true soul of Sri Lanka.
