Sri Lanka is known for being one of the best value destinations for surfers, and Cape Weligama will bring a little bit of luxury to your next trip here. You are just a few steps away from the water’s edge, so you can roll out of bed in the morning and hit the waves. If you are a beginner or looking to brush up on your skills, the hotel will be able to arrange lessons for you.

Noah Surf House is the perfect place to stay on your next European adventure. The accommodation is based on an ocean theme, and you’ll find nautical touches everywhere you go. One of the things we love the most about this hotel is its eco-friendly touches. The hotel is built in a sustainable manner, and it even has chickens on-site for the restaurant. Just down the road, you’ll find the Noah Surf restaurant, where you’ll love relaxing after a day on the beach. There’s also a surf school here, where you can book lessons if it’s been a while since you last surfed.

It offers all of the amenities you could possibly need after a day of surfing, including a pool, bar, and surf boutique. Of course, you’ll also be just a few minutes’ walk away from some of the world’s best waves, as well as dozens of restaurants and bars to visit in the evening.
