We enjoyed our time at the Samaru Beach House but it's not perfect. The beach house is right on the beach at Weligama. It's a long beach and is used daily by fishermen and surfers. While it's not necessarily a bathing beach, it's still quite nice and the Samaru is one of the few hotels backing right onto the beach.... More

Samaru Beach House is a guest house/hotel that is located smack in the middle of the beautiful Weligama Bay. In the future this will become a very popular destination since the surf is brilliant (without a dangerous reef), it is far safer than Hikkaduwa and everything is more chilled out. Plus you can play in the sandy shallows if you... More

It's true it is ideally situated and a very nice place. Just one thing for girls : beware of ARUNA, he is a womanizer. I was caught with his nice talk and free surf lessons. I thought he was honest but later I realised nothing was true. I feel so disgusted to have believed this guy really cared about me.... More

We planned to stay two nights last November but it such a great place we stayed for ten. Easy surf on your doorstep and a relaxing place to chill. We were able to visit much of the South of Srilanka in day trips at very reasonable price. The guys running this guest house are friendly, helpful and a pleasure to... More

Samaru Beach House, a family business, is the perfect choice for an awesome family or surf holiday in Sri Lanka. The location is right on the beach. One of the best beachbreaks in Sri Lanka is at your front door! The beach is pristene, clean, a tropical paradise. The rooms are clean, comfortable and airy with great views. The rates... More

Samaru is right on the beach in Weligama in front of extremely reliable surf. We stayed for four nights - three nights in an upstairs room and one in a downstairs room. The upstairs room was really nice with a comforable bed, huge mosquito net and lovely place to sit on the veranda outside. The downstairs room was more basic... More

Nice rooms, nice friendly staff. Indee took us the whole day to some attractions in the neighbourhood (white tea factory, turtle hatchery, steltfishers, rope factory (from coconuts), temple, batik factory, gem factory). It was low season so were the only ones staying there for 1 night. Nice place for surfing also (we didn't do that). If we would have some... More

Excellent. Went to sri Lanka for a 10 day surf trip with my girlfriend. Contacted Samaru beforehand and they arranged an airport pick up for us. The location is fantastic, right in front of good surf. The rooms are basic but exactly what we were looking for (AC, Hot water). Food was fantastic, service was very good. What really makes... More
