Hotels in Weligama

Lovely place with serene ambiance. Best staff and prompt service. Would recommend to any group of friends or family getaway... 👍

Service is ok. Rooms are really small. Someof the heaters (hot water showers) are not working properly. Pool looks good. Food is good.

Beautiful place and kind staff. However, they should make more space for parking

Beautifully appointed villa with private staff including chef. Excellent Sri Lankan breakfasts included in stay. Good location, very close to Jungle Beach and a short trip down to others.

A beautiful villa with very nice and attentive staff. We really enjoyed our stay, especially the open kitchen / seating area next to the pool is great! Bedrooms are well equipped with good beds. Perfect to relax near to Weligama beach!

This is a beautiful four bed full service villa set in a private walled garden with large pool. It is available for holiday rental and has a full staff team.

Very good restaurant with tasty food!! Really enjoyed from the waiters, they are very kind and nice. I’m recommend come here hungry!

The room is quite spacious, the air conditioning is nice and cool, and the location is easy to find. The hotel has its own restaurant, breakfast is included, and lunch and dinner are also available. You can order drinks, and the restaurant is delicious. The restaurant is right by the sea.

We didn't stay at the resort but we did eat there most mornings and in the evenings. The food was sensational the service from the wait staff was first class,the prices were good for such a top spot. They do take card but you pay a % . Not all resorts do that.

We came here expecting an average experience like most other budget friendly places but we were blown away. The rooms were clean and spacious and were very peaceful for our stay. The resort is right infront of the beach with easy access. The restaurant is located right adjacent to the sandy beach and we were surprised as to how delicious the food was. We had a delicious Sri Lankan crab curry and it...

Located right in front of the Mirissa beach with easy access to the beach and depending on the season, it’s an excellent beach to surf and bathe. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff including the owners are very friendly and helpful. The restaurant is the highlight of this place with various different types of amazing food. I’ve been circling around the area trying out different restaurants...

They have a very friendly staff.They know what hospitality is all about. It is located near the sea. Special mention should be made of their fujisan restaurant.The food there is very delicious and they charge a very reasonable amount for it.As far as I know the manager has 15 years of experience in Japanese food. you can enjoy your delicious meal while enjoying the sea breeze.

Clean and comfortable and large spacious rooms.homely atmosphere.lalinda the proprietor is the main man whos very hospitable and was very courteous at all times.his exceptional experience in the hospitality industry is the best part of it. where he humbly gets involved in the service too.a place I would return and recommend to anyone always. All the best !

I had a fantastic stay at LG Hotel; the location is excellent, the hotel manager Lalinda and other staff members were kind and welcoming. They did not have many guests at the time of my stay so the restaurant was not operational, but the staff would come by with coffee and snacks in the morning or afternoon. There is an ATM downstairs, it is right across from the Mariott and some great restaurants...

Hi, Greetings for the Day!!! I would like to share my experience with LG Hotel, well maintained neat and clean room with Hygienic standards. Complete coastal areas 200 mtr near beach with beautiful Greenery with coconut trees surrounded by the Hotel. Variety and tasty foods on time, Staffs are very descent and easily approachable, cool wind with peaceful restaurant on rooftop. Really enjoyed my beautiful...

This place is so nice, I was really impressed when I arrived. The room is big, really nicely decorated, and clean. The lobby is impressive. Windows and balconies all around. And the restaurant is beautiful... Feels like a luxurious place to be in, without the price tag. The prices are very reasonable. Best of all, the staff here is amazing. They reply to my messages immediately, 24 hours of the day...

During covid I stayed in LG hotel upon my arrival from Maldives. The staff is very prompt and responsive. As a foreigner, I faced many difficulties with Sri Lanka immigration, but the hotel staff stayed in contact with me on whatsapp, took care of everything and made sure my arrival in Sri Lanka was smooth. The owner is such a humble person and responded to all of our needs very quickly. I have never...

Quite a pleasant stay, where there was not much to put a finger on. Everything was clean, room was large, bathroom large and had amenities. We had half board so breakfast and dinner. Dinner was surprisingly good with 3 courses, especially for the price you pay, and the restaurant is at top floor. Breakfast was good as well. We stayed only 1 night. Location is 15 mins walk to center city. Beach is on...

A charming and pastoral place in a great location close to the center and a short walk to the beach. The owners are very welcoming, family atmosphere. But the internet and electricity are not so stable, less recommended for working remotely

The location is perfect, the room was big and spacious with air con and fan, and even a mini fridge. There’s also a nice view on the river from here. The owners were very friendly and they also offer laundry services for 600 per kilo and sell water bottles (same price as grocery stores) which is very convenient. Thank you very much 🙏🏼

Lovely family , daughters speak english, breakfast was okay . But the room I stayed was unbreathable with smell of moist and humidity . Very cheap room but not worth I guess . . Maybe with AC is better airquality. There is a shared kitchen . The view to the river is very beautiful and peaceful.

Amazing stay with a super lovely family! The rooms are good and you get what you pay for. The shared kitchen is nice and the family is very friendly and always reply’s super quick. Only 5 minutes from the beach. I stayed here for 3 weeks and really loved it!

I was going to stay a couple of days and ended up staying one week :) Really friendly family, it felt like staying at home! I would come back. The river view is insane and I love that it’s close to everything but super quiet at night

Located right on the beach at a good surf spot .Great staff

Lots of mosquitoes in our room. Glad we had a mosquito net to protect us. But they were crafty and still found their way in to eat us at night. The location of the hotel is nice. I don't know how it will look after the construction of the mega hotel next door.

If you’re looking for a budget-friendly spot that doesn't compromise on comfort or service, Surasa Beach Resort is a winner. It’s not a "luxury" resort, but it’s exactly what a beach stay should be: clean, welcoming, and super functional. Clean and basic, but the AC works perfectly—which is a lifesaver after a day in the sun. The family hosting you is incredible. They truly go above and beyond to...

I had a very nice stay at Surasa Beach Resort. The location is excellent, just steps from the beach and close to everything you might need. The staff were very friendly and helpful, always available and welcoming throughout my stay. The room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, which made it easy to relax after a day out. Overall, a great place to stay with a perfect beach location and warm hospitality...

Love love love this place. We never received that much help and good vibes in Sri Lanka before. Also super nice rooms. Clean, AC, Spacious, balcony with space to hang your things. Actually liked, it was on the backside and also had a nice view, but more quiet.

The staff here were incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout the stay. It’s located very close to some surf schools and a lot of fish restaurants with some nice bars to chill on the beach in the evening. The rooms were good for the prices - good AC, comfy beds and it was immaculate. Highly recommend

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Perfect Stay at Surasa Beach Resort, Weligama! I stayed at Surasa Beach Resort for 3 nights and 4 days, and it was an amazing experience. The resort is in a fantastic location, right in front of the beach with immediate access to plenty of surf schools and very close to the Weligama town centre. A special mention to the owner Suranga — an exceptional person who genuinely cares about his...

Surasa Beach Resort - is our favourite place to stay in Weligama - the location is opposite Weligama Beach - provides close proximity to surfing, swimming, multiple restaurants and local shops. The rooms are spotless and each floor has the option to utilise shared cooking facilities, fridge and lounge area. The balconies are great to sit and relax watching day to day activities - day or night. The...

excellent location, owners were very helpful. priced as it is, this is excellent value for money. Great view of the breakers from our deck. So close to town but very quiet also.

Great location, great service and very responsible price 🙂❤️ We have very fun. We leaned surf very well. The Manager is very kind man. New roof top is niceee. Rooms & services are good. Best hotel at Matara. Thank You! We will come back again!

The staff, particularly Akalanka and Vijay, are extremely helpful and will deal with any request (E.g. Hiring a scooter, tuk-tuk hire, additional wifi, assistance with cooking, laundry, surf lessons, car hire, local knowledge, where to purchase specific items) or issue (general room repairs etc) swiftly. Benefits above other hotels include: TV and xbox in comfortable and friendly communal areas,...

I spent a month in this hotel. What was good: 1. Location - it's 5 min walk from the ocean and surf spots. There is a couple of good cafes nearby. 2. The quality of the room/price ratio was also good for me. 3. There was an AC in the room and it worked well. 4. There is a fridge and the electric kettle on the floor. 5. The staff helped to make some adjustments in the room for a longer stay. ...

The hotel is close to the beach and the best places in the city, at the same time very quiet, view of the garden, where monkeys and parrots sometimes come. The staff will always help in solving any issue.

Nice hotel, stuff and rooms are great. We lived on the third floor in new rooms, the had AC and all the necessary stuff. Cold be a little noisy in the evening, but all the other is good

Excellent accommodation. The staff give 100% and the food is fabulous. We felt very well looked after. The Sri Lankan breakfast was the best we had during our time in the country. Staff gave great advice and support with travel. A friendly atmosphere and feeling of community. We’re already planning our next stay.

Our original plan was to stay 5 nights in Lion’s rest but the amazing atmosphere, nice pool and restaurant, and the most kind and helpful staff made us to reschedule our trip to stay for two more nights. Hotel is 10 minutes away from Weligama beach/town, located on relax Coconut beach, away from the hustle of the city. We felt really safe and well welcomed in this small community. Lion’s rest also...

We had an AMAZING expérience at Lion’s rest! We were with our 2,5 yo daughter who had the best time! All staff were so kind to her, we will never Forget! There are cows everywhere in front of the hotel, no noises, on the beach the best sunset in the world and incredible cocktails at the bar! Go go go!!!

Ayesh, Sunil and all the staff made our stay so easy and special, organising transfers and even a fresh whole baked fish dinner and cake for my birthday. The hotel is just outside Weligama, close to lots of great local restaurants, and only a short walk across a cow paddock to a beautiful beach where you can see turtles. We loved watching the sunsets every night. The pool was a big hit with the kids...

Loved the lions rest. Great staff, lovely chill vibe and food is great too. Lucky was great with our 6year old on his surf lesson. Management was supper helpful. Only comments is the Tuktuk drivers out side the hotel got a bit aggressive with our Taxi driver when he came pick us up l, not hotels fault but was a strange situation.

We stayed 15 days at Lions Rest over Christmas/New Year 2025/2026, we had a fantastic stay. The Location in Gerubebila is so beautiful, in front of world class surf breaks; Coconuts and Plantation. The Hotels rooms are clean, beautiful and family friendly. With both resturant ready to serve you and a pool its so easy to spend your days here. The staff really makes an effort to give you a home a...

Nice seafood restaurant. The guys working there are attentive and friendly. We had fish of course and it was delicious. Also ordered veg spring rolls which were a good choice. Portions are generous. Decent value. Be prepared to wait for your order as all cooked from scratch. Bring insect repellent as spotted a few mosquitos. This restaurant has good views.

We stayed in the hotel and were eating there for 3 days. The view is breath-taking and atmosphere there is exceptionally cozy and home-like. I've travelled a lot and stayed in many places, but this one truly is top 3 special places for me that I hope to go back!

What a peaceful and beautiful to stay! We spent almost a week here as a family and we instantly felt welcomed and at home. Located just a 5-minute walk from Jungle Beach, and a short tuk-tuk ride to surfing areas and Weligama centre, this is a hidden gem of a guesthouse. The owners Saman and Anura were so friendly and relaxed, checking to see if we were happy and also on hand to give suggestions, tuk...

One of the best places in the whole Sri Lanka! So much in love with the idea, rooms, architecture, the philosophy of keeping the nature respected! Professional team, Fantastic foods!

Amazing experience! A great place to escape. Great views on the woods and ocean. Separate villas with private pool & rooftop. Food is perfect! Thank you!

The owner was incredibly kind and prepared fresh fish curry for us, even though we were not staying at his hotel. He was extremely friendly and very professional. The location of the hotel is also perfect — not even a minute away from the beach. Next time, we will definitely book a room with him!

The owner Iris is an incredible man Very nice Took care of everything we asked for Right in between the main road and the beach

We contacted the owner at night and he immediately helped us and gave us a room. We had 6 great nights there after. The owner and his family are very friendly. He helped us if we needed something and we had great conversations with him. The room is very comfortable and clean, also the bathroom, and it smelled very good inside when we arrived. The hotel is located very close to the beach and also to...

My favorite stay in weligama. You cannot find more nice people than this couple. Everything is so clean and very well located, quiet and close to all the shops restaurants and the beach. You can also access the fridge and kitchen which is a big plus. Internet connexion works perfectly and the place is very safe and secure. I only stayed 3 nights but wish I booked more.

The owner was so helpful, super friendly and just an all round legend. the location was super close to the beach and very easy to get to the shops. This accom was perfect for us Wish we were staying longer. Thank you 🙏

Price-quality wise they offer very decent private rooms!

One of the best places to stay in Weligama especially if you are on a budget. The rooms are quite large and very clean. The in house restaurant offers a wide variety of delicious food at an affordable price. The coffee shop and the bar is nicely set up.The owner "Lakshan" is always helpful and very friendly. 7 stars for the service 💪

We had grate experiance at our get together all are very happy and enjoyeed. Delicious foods and bites are provided with very reasonable price. Very good view at top floor . Can use swimming pool at reasonable price. hotel staff also very frendly and serve the best way.

Pros: Unbeatable location on the beach with free sunbeds. The room is spacious. Friendly staff. Included breakfast which was ok (nothing extraordinary but it includes eggs, bread, fruit or juice, coffee or tea). Surf school attached to the property and you can get lessons for 4000rupee. Cons:The rooms are very old fashioned, the property would really benefit from some renovation. Although it's prohibited...

My sister and I spent a perfect week at Samaru Beach Hotel in the stunning Weligama Bay! We cannot recommend it more highly. From the welcoming gracious owner Arun to the friendly warm staff, to the delicious foods (get the tuna salad and all the juices!) to the perfect rooms, where we slept well. Each day we had lounge chairs on the beach with an umbrella and great service! The water was steps from...

I spent 5 days surfing with the surf school of Samaru in Weligama, and it was one of the highlights of my trip. If you are looking for a place that combines professionalism with a warm, welcoming vibe, this is it! 🏄‍♀️🌊 The location of the surf school is absolutely perfect – right on a wonderful stretch of beach. The facilities are top-notch: they have secure lockers for your valuables and backpacks...

An excellent place to stay on a good budget. The beach is right in front of the room. In the morning, waking up for a walk, ordering a coffee, and watching people surf is a great experience. The Sri Lankan breakfast—string hoppers with fish sambal, tuna, and curry—is delicious and worth trying, not just for breakfast. There are also plenty of restaurants and pubs nearby, which you can visit and explore

We took a surf lesson with the amazing Arun, who truly took the time to help us become the best surfers we could be. He warmed up with us, went through the basics on land, and in the water he coached us on how to improve. Afterwards, he took us snorkeling with turtles in Mirissa. Thank you to the world’s best Arun and Samaru for the outstanding service and the most wonderful memories.

The food is really nice and the bed is very comfortable.Overall this is a great hotel as it is on the beachfront and you can go swimming anytime and just walk back to your room and have a shower.There Is also a shower outside the hotel plus surf board rental.

Great place to stay and progress your surfing skills. I did the full surf package and advanced through the week from beginner class on the beach break to surfing the reef break. Like anywhere, some instructors are better than others. My favorite sessions were with Sohan at the reef. He clearly cares about student safety and is very focused on the students. I appreciate the almost-daily video analysis...

We had a great week in the Surfcamp, everything was great! Perfectly located just a 2 Minutes walk from the beach which is great for beginners. Very good and helpfull instructors and staff, and great people. The service during breakfast and a la card could have been improved, since the food arrived very random but otherwise everything was perfect! Can really recommend:)

Great place for beginners! The camp is right next to the beach and the instructors and staff were lovely during the week we stayed here. Bunny has great technical knowledge of the sport and tell you how to improve :) Rooms are nice and the pool area was a great place to chill. The common area on the third floor where you have dinner was also great. While there was no wifi in the rooms, it‘s a nice...

I LOVEEEEEEEEEEED my week here. I made amazing friends and had so much fun. It's the perfect camp for beginners. Maybe not so good for intermediate/advanced surfers. I really liked all the instructors, but I have to say Peter was incredible teaching us. Nadiv and Bonnie were also great, I couldn't stop laughing at all the shouts of "paddle, my dear" (I hope they never change, they are unique). I stayed...

I stayed at this surf camp for 7 days and had a really good overall experience. By the end of my stay, I was able to surf white waves on my own, which felt like a big achievement. The instructors are skilled, patient, and genuinely supportive, and the staff overall are warm and welcoming. The environment is very fun and social there’s always something happening. Almost every day there are activities...

This place gets high reviews and mine is no exception. If you are looking for the surf camp experience this place is it. You will party with the other surfers like you’ve known them for years on your first night and surf all the next day. Lahiru and his team will quickly become like family and make you feel like the favorite child. I would give it 5/5 for vibe alone, but the service is also great....

excellent breakfast. good location. hospitality very good

This was a very odd hotel that in reality looks a lot more ragged vs the pictures posted here. The smell of mildew is strong in many parts of the hotel, especially the reception office. The rooms are awkwardly furnished, with loud AC units that run 24/7 struggling to cool your room. There are a number of dogs on site, and while friendly have a tendency to go crazy and bark very loudly at night...

Very well located in front of the beach, we had a great experience in this hotel. We had a room with a sea view. The staff is very helpful and welcoming. Perfect food. Bonus : if you love dogs, that’s the perfect place. They teat them and take care of them.

very nice massage and good place to stay and surf, highly recommend!

Thinking about having some fun and improve your surfing skills? Great. Good Story Surf School could be good option for you. You can be sure that you will have devoted surf guides teaching you the very basic and additionally support you when you are ready to take some next level challenges. It might be that you are natural talent and you can surf the waves already from the very beginning, but usually...

its good place to surfing and beach activities. But restaurant is closed to the Main road. Bus horn always make noise. Management changing always. Overall not bad.

The staff was so friendly and helpful! The rooms may not be in the best shape but it was a comfortable stay. The aircondition worked and the bed was comfortable. We also got a room with a nice view of the beach, Thank you!!

Okay room, nice staff, great value for money. Comfortable bed + real bed standard

Great location metres away from the beach and a myriad of surf schools, friendly staff and comfortable rooms. Breakfast offering needs reviewing and some improvement! Thank you to Kevin for his kind assistance with my reservation and travel plans.

Front sea hotel with afordable prices rooms with sea view, big terrace and near town, bus station, beach, etc. Very helpful the manager Kevin. May be should improve with the breakfast coffe. Comparing with another hotels good deals. At the groung floor has a pub and in the front a roti food place.

Its wonderful place, i went for wedding its very very beatiful

Awesome beach view and great place to spend holiday..highly recommended.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for two nights in March, our stay was awesome! It is right in front of the beach, and has sun beds too. The room was huge, and we lucked out with an upgrade. The staff, especially the owner, were super helpful and friendly! Our favourite part of the hotel was Brown!

We are really happy to choose this hotel for our honeymoon. They treated us very well. Very nice environment. Definitely the best place to visit if you are coming to Sri Lanka from abroad .We were able to spend our day beautifully in this place with a beautiful view.I would like to thank Mr. Dhanuka, the owner of the hotel, for making everything so beautiful for us. We look forward to coming to this...

Aussie Swiss Beach hotel is located in the end of Weligama beach, in a very tranquil corner next to an estuary. The sea view - room is very spacious with high ceilings and it is furnished with srilankan local wood carvings. The bed is comfortable with mosquito nets. The room is air conditioned, has a fast internet, fridge, kettle with tea/coffee, tv, safe, hair dryer, beach towels and racks to dry...

Great picturesque location, beautiful surrounding atmosphere, good friendly staff. lovely first impression of hotel with a garland. It was clean, stylish and excellent service at restaurant where we had dinner. Food was delicious and great value for money. I was very pleased and I hope to be back for a longer visit in the future.

Perfect location. Great staff who were always ready to help. The breakfast was delicious and freshly made. The masseuse is wonderful! Would definitely return!

Upon arrival we were warmly welcomed by Dhanuka ( owner of the hotel)and the very friendly staff.They all made our stay a memorable one. The rooms were spacious.The authentic Sri Lankan breakfast was delicious. The staff were attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. We Would definetely recommend Aussie Swiss hotel to everybody. It's a true example of excellent hospitality...

I booked Ocean Tribe Surf Camp after doing way too much online research and reading what felt like a hundred reviews and I’m so glad I did. I was not disappointed for even a second. Quick disclaimer: if you’re looking for a wild party surf camp, this isn’t your spot. But if you genuinely want to improve your surfing and be around people who take the sport seriously while keeping it relaxed and soulful...

From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was incredibly welcoming. Everyone there went above and beyond to make you feel at home. They were not only professional and organized, but also genuinely warm and friendly. It never felt like “just a business” — it felt like a small community built around a shared love for the ocean. I would highly recommend this surf camp to anyone looking not just to improve...

I had an amazing experience here as a beginner surfer. I was worried that as a beginner I wouldn't fit in, but from the moment I arrived everyone was really welcoming. The food was great and they have the best coffee I'd tried during my entire trip to Sri Lanka! The surf lessons were so much fun and I learned a lot. The yoga was also fantastic - Mahaut is an absolutely brilliant teacher. I stayed...

I loved Ocean Tribe. The layout and location of the place is a little dreamy sanctuary, close to everything but hidden away. And is really quiet…slept so good here! All the staff and surf instructors were really lovely and friendly. It was great to improve my beginner surfing skills! Also loved the yoga on the roof every afternoon. I am hoping to return in the future!

We've spent a week in this camp and probably it was the best decision of the year. Everyone there is extremely nice, we've learnt a lot and definitely improved our surfing skills. Location is great, it's close to everything but at the same time super quiet, probably the best sleep I've had in Sri Lanka so far. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Food is also pretty good and I really enjoyed our dinners...

Wonderful little paradise to stay in Weligama! Every detail is simply perfect here. The rooms are a gorgeous!!! Large and furnished with an insane amount of style and attention for detail. The food is unbelievably delicious. The vibes are just awesome: cool, casual, relaxed & stylish at the same time. The team is simply the best. So incredibly welcoming, you immediately feel at home. Thanks to Milan...

During the short school holiday over the Sinhala and Tamil New Year, we had the chance to visit our family favourite, Weligama, to enjoy the sun and the sea. We walked into Outpost Weligama for a quick lunch. It’s a great spot, especially for surfers, but also a calm and relaxing place where you can just sit back or even get some work done quietly. The kids enjoyed their snacks, and the staff were...

Great clean room, very spacious, lovely view of the beach. Friendly staff and pretty good amenities. Access to beach was excellent, sand under your feet within meters of the door.

Great staff, clean rooms. Really liked the experience.

The hotel is cool. There's a pool. I wouldn't recommend the standard room. There's a bathtub. But the ventilation in the room is poor.

Outpost is really good choice for Weligama trip during the season. Next to the quiet part of thr beach, tasty (but not cheap) cafe, comfortable rooms and very helpfull staff, strong wifi. But for offseason could be a bit offsided. No cafe around, nothing on the beach, need to walk to any store or activity. Several points to make your stay more comfortable: 1. Roomservice upon request 2. In beachfront...

Just beside a very cool beach. Budget Hotel. Have basic facilities. A neat and clean pool. Except drinking water, soaps and shampoo nothing is complementary in the room. It's a budget option and little overpriced for pool facing rooms with minimum facilities.
