Colonial Surfing Villa is situated in Midigama. 5 meters form the Midigama beach which is world famous surfing point and famous for stilt fishing. Colonial Surfing Villa is an old Dutch House which is around 150 years old.The homestay has access to a restaurant.

Spent a couple weeks here at colonial and safe to say they were some of the best weeks you can have. Reno and his family are just the best and everything you need help with he will be there. Access to beaches, breaks and midigama shops is all perfect so would recommend this stay to anyone!

Located in the up and coming coastal town of Midigama on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Lime & Co Midi is a surfers paradise. This charming hotel is located right opposite the beach within close distance to at least 5 well known surf breaks.

The pool was awesome ,and the staff were also very helpful. If you are a solo traveler this would be the best option.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Brilliant location for beach, train station, buses, cafes etc. Roof terrace where you can watch the sunset over the sea and look over Ahangama high street. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Our room was large, had everything we needed (table, chair, hooks). You also had access to washing machine and kitchen. Accommodation is really budget friendly especially considering the great location. Easy to find and get to.

    such a nice hostel- only 10 beds in the whole place, it has a family feel and the beds are wider than a normal twin. the staff are really easy going and there is a restaurant upstairs that is a nice place to eat and chill in and watch the ocean. most of the rooms just have one bunk bed in them so you can sleep really well without any noise! About 10 minutes drive from Weligama and Ahangama as well as a 10 minute walk to Midigama.

    One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in - you need anything from food to a scooter to a bus to Ella they’ll help you and even wait at the bus stop with you (Not guaranteed lol). Events are organised most days and they’re great fun, the people at Yoyos make it special though. Wish them all the best and strongly recommend you book longer than you need because you’ll end up extending anyway

    No doubt this is the best hostel in the country to settle down for a while, get to know people and have a really good time. Location is perfect and it is run by amazing people. Among all my travels, this is one of the most special hostels i ever visited (if not the most). Just go there!!!
