The house was located in a beautiful location with an almost private beach and a beside a wonderful juice bar / restaurant run by the owners. Food, drinks and service were 10/10. Highly recommended staying here and it’s a short drive / Tuk Tuk to other touristy locations.

A very nice small and personal hotel right by the sea. The rooms were modern, clean and had a nice balcony facing the ocean. Even the beds were comfortable. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely stay there again.

Extremely clean and well maintained property, right next to the ocean. Pool is simply amazing. There are limited rooms so a very peaceful stay. Our host was very helpful and even suggested us a few places to visit around. All in all a superb experience.

Nomads Hideaway Near Matara Railway Station

Matara

We had a truly lovely stay at Nomads Hideaway. The villa is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by greenery, giving it a calm, tucked-away feeling. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating this space—from the natural materials to the cozy layout and relaxing garden nook. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and available when needed, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. Although it’s just a short distance from Matara and the beach, the villa feels like a quiet sanctuary—ideal for resting, reading, or simply being present. We only stayed for two nights but felt deeply nourished by the experience. We’d happily return for a longer stay next time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and soulful place to recharge.

    What a lovely, welcoming family. This is why it's so great to stay in homestays rather than hotels! They were so accommodating to our needs and also helped book a tuktuk to Galle for us, which turned out to be great fun too!

    Absolutely perfect stay. The place is quiet and still central, close to the beach and the rooms are as described on booking. Thr owner and his family are absolutely great and make sure you have everything you need and more. I will come back for sure! Thank you

    Great location right next to Madiha beach, which having explored the areas closest around was the nicest in the area. Breakfast was great - and the pool was lovely. All the staff were very kind and friendly. We were travelling with our baby so this made us feel very comfortable. Right next to Doctors house, which was fun and near local restaurants Mint which had delicious food, and Swell a surfing spot where you can have lunch too. Also just short Tuk Tuk ride to Marissa beach. Thanks so much x

    Magic magic magic magic magic. It wasn’t just the idyllic place, setting, and beautiful food (e.g. lobsters kept in the ocean below your feet, only removed when time to cook…with the most incredible family sauce)..it was also the kind, modest and epically friendly hosts..always on hand for a chat, but so calm and also fun. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.

    Fun bohemic place right next to all great restaurants. Awesome surf spots closeby and a 10 minute walking distance to good swimming beach Polhena. There is also a small beach and snorkeling spot right there. Helpful and very friendly staff and owner Michel was always there to help with anything. We stayed with family and resort is very safe for kids and swimming pool was warm and nice.
