A fantastic place to stay in the heart of Madiha! The hotel is new, and the rooms are fresh and beautifully designed. It’s run by a wonderful family who are incredibly hospitable and make you feel right at home. The location is perfect—close to the beach with great surf, yet in a peaceful area. Madiha itself is a charming and relaxed surf town. Highly recommended!

I recently stayed at Swell Shacks for one night and had an amazing experience. The hotel was exceptionally clean and well-maintained. The design of the hotel is simply stunning and perfectly complements the beautiful environment. I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean and having the beach right in front of our room. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night's sleep. The breakfast provided was delicious and offered a variety of options. The view from the hotel is absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking sights. I had such a wonderful time that I will definitely be coming back in the future. I highly recommend Swell Shacks for anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable stay. Special mention for Gayantha and Madushanka, always smiling, very welcoming and helpful, they definitely make our stay even better 😃 !

Like many others who stay here, I ended up extending my visit. The location is ideal, just a few minutes from the beach. The room was a good size with a mosquito net and ceiling fan. Nayana and Neel are the most welcoming hosts you could ever hope to meet and made me feel right at home. I will be back!
