We Escape Weligama

Really nice place ! The team is absolutely amazing and helpful ! Very clean, great atmosphere and the design really beautiful. Amazing place to meet some other travelers and you will enjoy weather if you want to surf or not. Dinner was great!!! Thanks

I went to Kima Surf Camp in the off-season during September and had a fantastic experience. The surf instructors were, by and large, amazing. In particular, Chuti was always motivating me to push to a higher level and providing just the right level of encouragement and advice. The kitchen staff were also great, very attentive without being overbearing. The whole experience, from breakfast to dinner, was one of the best I’ve seen at a hostel in my time traveling (over the course of many years). Kima also advertises a learn-to-surf package, which is a 5-day course of morning sessions. I would say this is an appropriate course for those who have no experience, but if you have the ability to stand up on the board and position your feet while stationary on the sand, and you know how to turn, then this course might be unnecessary, since it would be covered in the surf guiding sessions for the one-star courses anyway. However, I did like the structure provided by the learn-to-surf courses, and it was helpful for meeting new people. So, in that respect, I think it might be worth the money for those considering it. I would say that the hostel is quite social and good for solo travelers. However, during my visit, there were a lot of German-speaking travelers (in the order of 80%), which made it a bit of a different experience compared to hostels I’ve stayed at in Europe and Asia. That said, there were many activities organized, and it was easy to meet people through yoga sessions, surfing, or the social events hosted by the camp. Dinners were typically very social, especially if you chose to sit at the larger tables. The rooms were excellent, and there were plenty of bathrooms available, so I never felt like there was an issue in terms of facilities.

I really enjoyed my trip at Kima surf. The rooms are beautiful, the food is soo delicious and the surfguides are full of motivation and will learn you how to surf. You could also just stay at the hotel, chilling at the pool and meet new friends here. It doesn't matter if your stay is just for some days or a few weeks.

Amazing stay at Kima. The camp is perfect with great staff (really great), food, accommodation and pool. Fantastic location close to the beach and a short walk into Weligama, 5mins by tuk tuk Would definitely stay again. Great place for a beginner surfer like me to start learning.

It’s been my second time at kima surf camp in Weligama and I can highly recommend it. The staff and the managers are super welcoming and always helpful. The rooms are clean and the food is pretty good. It’s a good place to learn how to surf or to improve your surfing skills.

Kima Surfcamps are the best ones I’ve ever visited. After trying different camps in different countries I always return to kima whether it’s Bali or now Sri Lanka. The camp has a great location and you can walk to a lot of nice places and the beach. The building and the garden are beautiful, very spacious and well looked after. The dorm I stayed in was very nice and offered a lot of privacy with the curtains. At the same time it's easy to meet new people to chill with or be alone if you want to. In general the camp is very good for socializing and having a good time with everybody. Food at kima is always good, especially the breakfast is my favourite part and perfect after a morning surf session. The surf sessions at kima are great. The organisation with the surf planner is fantastic because you can choose your level, different spots and time. Also kima is the only surfcamp I found so far that offers surfing 7x a week and twice a day. So it's perfect to improve your surfing in quite a short time or get the chance to visit different spots around the south coast. The sessions are always a lot of fun and super helpful since the guides are very motivated in helping you catch gold waves and analyse your mistakes. I will definitely return to kima sri Lanka in the future.
