Description
It is a family run hostel situated directly opposite the beach. We offer beachfront seating and sunbeds, spacious communal areas, a beautiful rooftop yoga shala offering daily classes, free private parking, as well as a restaurant serving a range of dishes from local Sri Lankan specialities to burgers and salad bowls. We have a fully stocked bar serving cocktails, juice and fresh coffee. We offer shared dorms or private rooms, both of which open out onto a shared seafront balcony. The hostel is close to several popular attractions such as Paravi Wella Beach (1.5km), Mulgirigala Rock Temple (17km) and Tangalle Lagoon (1km). We host regular events like a vegan dinner and quiz night, live music events and games nights. We hope to start regular arts and crafts evenings in the near future soon!
Tangalle is a peaceful stretch of coast where you can easily meet other travellers, but also have the option to spend time alone on the quiet beaches. Tangalle town centre is a 15 minute walk from the hostel and has great amenities such as a pharmacy, supermarket and bus station, so you can easily stock up on essentials and access other spots along the coast such as Mirissa and Hiriketiya Beach.
We currently employ two boys who work in the kitchen and as a room boys.
