We enjoyed our stay very much. It was very calmng and relaxing, especially the ocean view. Nice breakfasts and good coffee! Good Wifi. We also liked a lot that the rooms were big and the shower was open air. We wish Swell Shacks to expand and buid more rooms at larger area!

This place has an amazing location, perfect for relaxing. The beach is quiet and peaceful, making it a great spot to unwind. The outdoor space is fantastic—you can spend hours just enjoying the atmosphere. A lovely family runs this place, and they offer delicious homemade food in their restaurant. They also provide snorkeling masks, so you can spend hours in the water watching the beautiful fish. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy the sea and the beauty of southern Sri Lanka!

We rented the Paolo Suite which was extremely nice. During our time off wandering around we enjoyed laying on the swinging mat and relaxing. The manager and his son were very friendly and gave many helpful tips throughout our stay :)

The room was absolutely clean and organised in a great location. The breakfast was amazing and the most important is that the people that worked there were super helpful and supportive. They helped us rent a scooter and giving us very useful guidance. Additionally, I had a small accident and they gave me medication and took care of me. When I visit again I am sure that I will stay there again and I absolutely recommend you this place.

    Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

    Perfect beach hotel! A little off the main road as the name suggests and 24 steps down to the beach from the grounds. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean and had a fridge, safe and mosquito nets. Breakfast was simple but yummy overlooking the Ocean and beach. Surf boards for hire and a pretty private beach to enjoy!

    We loved staying right on the beach and being able to watch the turtles from our balcony. The restaurant was great, there was loads of choice and for a good price. The staff, especially the owner were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was good, walking distance to Madiha surf break (10 minutes) and Polhena beach and lots of restaurants.
