Absolutely amazing stay at Surf Lodge! We felt so welcomed from the moment we arrived. The food at the cafe is so delicious and the staff were extremely friendly! We had unforgettable couple of days and felt like we are at home! You can access the beach from the beautiful garden, there was a yoga class in the morning and also if you would like some other activities just ask the staff! The rooms were very comfortable and the bathroom that was outside was a great experience :) Definitely recommend the place and can’t wait to come back again! Thank you!

We had a great stay at the Ocean breeze hotel! everything was very authentic, clean and the staff is very friendly. It’s possible to have breakfast and dine here and everything is freshly made by the Amma of the house and tastes wonderful. They were very kind to our little daughter and the owner gave us a lift to our next destination. We can only recommend this place :-)

A very nice small and personal hotel right by the sea. The rooms were modern, clean and had a nice balcony facing the ocean. Even the beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

We had a truly lovely stay at Nomads Hideaway. The villa is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by greenery, giving it a calm, tucked-away feeling. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating this space—from the natural materials to the cozy layout and relaxing garden nook. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and available when needed, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. Although it’s just a short distance from Matara and the beach, the villa feels like a quiet sanctuary—ideal for resting, reading, or simply being present. We only stayed for two nights but felt deeply nourished by the experience. We’d happily return for a longer stay next time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and soulful place to recharge.
