OUR STORY
The Well began with a vision of a home away from home for travellers from all over the world – a place to create memories filled with well-being, surf and yoga. Combining all our passions, we wanted to create a space for relaxation and mindfulness while being close to the ocean and its wonderful waves. Here in the South West coast of Sri Lanka, we have made that dream come true.
The pearl of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is the wonder of Asia. A paradise island with lush jungles, golden sandy beaches, wildlife, mountains and tea plantations. At the South West coast, two of these come beautifully together, the ocean shoring to the jungle. The Well is a friendly, welcoming hostel with bespoke rooms, relaxing sunset yoga terrace, lush gardens and a sparkling pool located in a small village surrounded by nature within walking distance to the beach and a variety of surf breaks.
We know our region like no-one else and share all one needs to know for an unforgettable experience. From the best surf spots, beautiful landmarks to the best places to eat - we share them with every guest. We guarantee you the most wonderful time, whether you come as a solo traveller, with your other half or the whole crew. Our community is yours.
Sleep
Our sleeping accommodation consists of two double suites, The Teak and Mahogany Suite, each with individual touches and entrance's onto the gardens, a 4 bed dorm (Girls or Groups) and an 8 bed dorm (Mixed).
