Located in Hiriketiya and within 2 km of Hiriketiya Beach, Bappa's Place features a garden, non-smoking rooms, and free WiFi throughout the property.

Tangalle Lagoon is 15 km away and Mulkirigala Rock Monastery is 16 km from the hostel. It's a very nice and cosy hostel, 6 minutes from hirikiteya beach. The location is really good, because it is not in the busy area but at the same time it is not far from the centre/busy area. Right next to the hostel, you have a great place to have breakfast/lunch or dinner for a fair price (cheap, I would say). About the accommodation, the place is really clean and with a nice kitchen!

Located in the up and coming coastal town of Midigama on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Lime & Co Hostel is a surfers paradise. This charming hostel is located right opposite the beach within close distance to at least 5 well known surf breaks. I had a really lovely stay at Lime&Co! The room and bathroom is spacious and comfortable. The outdoor area and kitchen is also very nice. The staff and security are great, I felt very safe to stay here. They also have space inside to park your tuktuk/scooter/car safely. It is walking distance from the beach and nice restaurants, so going out for an early morning swim or food is very easy.

Set in Weligama, 1.4 km from Abimanagama Beach, Nature Rex Hostel offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Offering a bar, the property is located within 26 km of Galle International Cricket Stadium. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. I had a very relaxing and pleasant stay at Nature Rex. Bandara and Nadeesha were fantastic hosts but their son, Leo and dog, Lillie steals the show hands down. I came for one night but stayed on for 11. The beach is very close to the hostel, perfect for a early morning or late night swim. Highly highly recommend their place and I'd definitely be back next time. Cheers!
