We were beyond happy that we got to stay in Madiha Surf Lodge. This place was beautiful and with such a friendly owners & staff! Our room was so beautiful and clean. The brakfast/seating area was so cosy and beautiful and the accommodation was located only few steps from the most amazing beach with breathtaking sunset spot(short private road to the beach). We are vegan & they met our needs and prepared us tastiest breakfast (It was even better than food from restourants haha) So couldn't be more happy! Thank you so much and we will for sure return! It was hard to leave :)

This was truly a hidden gem in Matara. The place is super clean and nice, the kind hosts were very helpful and supportive. This place had fully equipped kitchen (Microwave, Hot Plate, Electric Kettle, Juice Maker, Refrigerator and all the kitchen equipment you could ever want), There were two rooms which was super clean. Also this place had an Electric iron and there were Washing machine (we didn't use the washing machine) although the place is bit far from town, It is in close proximity to Polhena beach, which is a very beautiful beach. My first impression and stay at the place is not 10 out of 10, but 100 out of 10 ❤️. Highly recommend place and will definitely visit again.

The villa and pool is gorgeous, with stunning views of the ocean. The beds, rooms and kitchen were well stocked with good bedding and kitchen supplies. The caretaker was very helpful with meeting us and showing us where everything was and how to use all the facilities. The restaurants are not close by, but it is a very quick drive or a 15min walk away and not as busy as the surfer town of Hiriketiya.
