Featuring a patio with garden views, a garden and a bar, MAKAI Surf House can be found in Ahangama, close to Ahangama Beach and 21 km from Galle International Cricket Stadium. Private parking is available on site at this recently renovated property. The accommodation offers free WiFi throughout the property, as well as a terrace and a family-friendly restaurant. We had an amazing stay at the Makai surf house! The room was spacious with a private bathroom, felt very clean and was nicely air conditioned. The staff were exceptional, so friendly and helpful. We rented motorbikes and they gave us good guidance on what to do in the area. The location is super peaceful and away from the hustle of Ahangama, so probably best to have a motorbike (although we also walked to the beach & cafes).

At the homestay, the units come with bed linen and towels. We had a wonderful stay at Villa Ema — one of the most beautiful places we stayed at during our trip through Sri Lanka. It’s a true oasis of peace where the only sounds you hear are birds chirping — absolutely fantastic! The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and easy to reach via WhatsApp. They were always helpful and attentive. We highly recommend this place to anyone travelling to Sri Lanka and looking for a stay in the Galle area!
