Welcome to The Drop In Surf Stay!
 Whether you’re a surfer, someone eager to learn, or simply enjoy watching the waves from the beach, this is the perfect place for you. Our cozy villa offers more than just your room: you’ll find a spacious living room where we like to meet, socialize, or hold the surf theory lessons of our surf school. Outside, you can relax in our large tropical garden, complete with hammocks and several seating areas, or use our fully equipped kitchen. Looking for a surf instructor? Our ISA-certified team will not only help you improve your skills but also make sure you create unforgettable memories in the water. We offer surf lessons and packages that can be easily arranged during your stay. Lessons combine practical sessions in the ocean with theory classes in our villa’s spacious living room, making sure you not only surf better but also understand the waves. Not sure about your surf level yet? No worries—you can decide and organize everything once you’re here. If you already know your level, let us know in advance to make the planning easier. As our guest, we want you to feel completely at home. Enjoy the sound of the ocean, the tropical climate, and the warm Sri Lankan sun. We also provide motorcycle rentals, airport transfers, surfboard rentals, and can help arrange other activities in town. If you’re traveling with your own vehicle, there’s plenty of parking available on the property. Please note: in tropical areas like southern Sri Lanka, mosquitoes and insects are common. All our rooms are equipped with mosquito nets, but they may not keep every mosquito away. Although we love hosting families, solo travelers, and surfers of all ages, we are not a party place. Out of respect for all our guests, please keep noise down after 10 pm. Housekeeping is provided every two days, but if you’d like assistance sooner, just let us know.

We are Nipun and Emma with our dog Momo. We speak Singhalese, English and German. Nipun was born in Madiha, and knows all of the surf spots as he is also working as an surf instructor. Emma was traveling around the world until she fell in love with the beautiful little village Madiha and decided to stay, surf and create a beautiful guesthouse. Feel free to ask us any questions about activities around, surfing or traveling in Sri Lanka.
