AMAZING!!!

"I stayed at KABALANA BEACH SURF HOSTEL for around 2 months and used it as my base for traveling around Sri Lanka! The owner Deniz is an awesome guy and extremely welcoming and friendly! The hostel is located in an awesome place right outside one of the best surf breaks on the South Coast. Coming from South Africa, the surfing met every one of my expectations and waking up and rolling out of the bed and into the surf was just the dream. Ask Cihan for all the surfing tips and knowledge. Other than surfing there are plenty of gems situated all around the hostel and activities to fulfill your traveling dreams. Ask the staff there for tips!I had the privellage of meeting people from all over the world. The hostel had a perfect dynamic for meeting new people and making new friends. I'll treasure these friendships forever!I will definitely be back one day hopefully sooner than I imagine. I thoroughly recommend Mellow to any traveler going through Sri Lanka!Thank you to all who made my trip so special!"

Perfect location

"KABALANA BEACH SURF HOSTEL is such a wonderful place to visit! Firstly, location is perfect. You can get up from your bed and can enjoy the ocean view infront of you. You can sunbath in the lovely garden, then can go to surfing after it. Another great thing was food.. It was REALLY delicious that I can still remember the taste of them! It was really a great experience for me and for my friends, with friendly and helpful staff. I enjoyed every second of my trip, canโ€™t wait to visit again! Thank you for everything"
