Situated in Mirissa, 600 metres from Mirissa Beach, The Hostel features accommodation with a terrace, free private parking and a restaurant. Among the facilities at this property are room service and luggage storage space, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. The staf is really friendly and helpful. They will help you with anything. The place is really clean as well. They have filtered water, free of charge. Most hostels I’ve stayed in in Sri Lanka didn’t offer any filtered water. The location is ideal, it’s only a 3 minute walk to the busstop and the main road with all the shops and restaurants. The beach is not even a 10 minute walk. There is also a kitchen and fridge which guests can make use of. I planned to stay here a few days, but ended up staying for two weeks.

Located in the up and coming coastal town of Midigama on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Lime & Co Hostel is a surfers paradise. This charming hostel is located right opposite the beach within close distance to at least 5 well known surf breaks. Best place to stay!!! The staff is sooo friendly and understanding, especially Mr. Kumara! He made sure everything went smoothly at our stay. The location is PERFECT! There’s a nice area with couches for hanging out near the pool. Absolutely lovely!
