The Experience

Hi! I'm Mahesh, and I run a cozy hostel just a 5 min walk from the surf beach in Weligama — good for beginner surfers. Our atmosphere is relaxed, social, and welcoming. Our goal is to create a space where travelers feel at home, meet new people, and enjoy good vibes every day. I'm looking for creative, social, and motivated travelers to join and help improve the hostel experience. Everyone brings something different, and I value new ideas.

The hostel is hands down one of the best hostels I've stayed at! 🌴 Mahesh truly creates a home away from home, and the atmosphere is super social and welcoming. The volunteering work was easy and fun, and I even got to organize events—from day trips to parties—which made the experience even more special. I honestly can't recommend this place enough. I'll miss all of you and can't wait to be back soon! ☀️🧡
