We loved our stay here so much! The pool was fantastic and rooms were clean, comfy and had everything we needed. The food was also amazing. The highlight for us was the staff, they were all so beautiful. The owners were the friendliest hotel owners we have met. And the elder man who served us dinner/ Brekky was the sweetest, taking so much care into our meals, our stay, etc. We couldn’t recommend this place enough, and will be staying again for our next trip to Madiha 🥰🥰

We were beyond happy that we got to stay in Madiha Surf Lodge. This place was beautiful and with such a friendly owners & staff! Our room was so beautiful and clean. The brakfast/seating area was so cosy and beautiful and the accommodation was located only few steps from the most amazing beach with breathtaking sunset spot(short private road to the beach). We are vegan & they met our needs and prepared us tastiest breakfast (It was even better than food from restourants haha) So couldn't be more happy! Thank you so much and we will for sure return! It was hard to leave :)

I spent three wonderful nights here and decided to extend my stay by two more nights because this place is simply perfect. The family who owns the property is extremely friendly and always willing to assist with anything you need. The location is ideal, as it is right on the beach, which is probably the best one I visited during my month in Sri Lanka. The atmosphere is calm and relaxing, and everyone around is friendly, making my stay even better. I hope to return in the future because it was a truly wonderful experience!

We had a wonderful stay! Comfortable and clean room. The owner is super nice and helpful with everything. Delicious and very filling breakfast. The location is right out to a beachbreak surfspot, and there is a surf rental right next to the hotel. We ordered dinner both days at the hotel and it was delicious. I can only recommend Ocean Breeze Villa!

This place has an amazing location, perfect for relaxing. The beach is quiet and peaceful, making it a great spot to unwind. The outdoor space is fantastic—you can spend hours just enjoying the atmosphere. A lovely family runs this place, and they offer delicious homemade food in their restaurant. They also provide snorkeling masks, so you can spend hours in the water watching the beautiful fish. It’s a perfect spot to enjoy the sea and the beauty of southern Sri Lanka!

We rented the Paolo Suite which was extremely nice. During our time off wandering around we enjoyed laying on the swinging mat and relaxing. The manager and his son were very friendly and gave many helpful tips throughout our stay :)

We book villa in ahangama but it not nice likely found Morning star ♥️♥️New, spacious, two-story villa. The place is quiet, but not remote, there is a large supermarket and transport nearby. 5 bedrooms, shared kitchen and living room. Designer interior, lots of wood, paintings, statues. Bathrooms with good plumbing, but hot water does not come right away - you have to wait. Excellent pool, clean, water is filtered normally. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and serving, the owners offer to cook breakfast at any time convenient for you.. I liked the villa! Nice place!

Amazing location, right on the beach. Fantastic surf all day long! Staff is super super friendly and they serve an excellent dinner and breakfast at the beach. Also the room was very clean and comfortable. Don’t look any further, this was our favorite guesthouse in Sri Lanka.

Perfect beach hotel! A little off the main road as the name suggests and 24 steps down to the beach from the grounds. All the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Room and bathroom were clean and had a fridge, safe and mosquito nets. Breakfast was simple but yummy overlooking the Ocean and beach. Surf boards for hire and a pretty private beach to enjoy!

We loved staying right on the beach and being able to watch the turtles from our balcony. The restaurant was great, there was loads of choice and for a good price. The staff, especially the owner were extremely friendly and helpful. The location was good, walking distance to Madiha surf break (10 minutes) and Polhena beach and lots of restaurants.
