BAREFOOT BACKPACKERS HOSTELS

Barefoot Backpackers is a small and cozy hostel chain with 1 location in Ahangama and 1 location in Hiriketiya. You can surf here all day, meet new people from Germany to America and from Australia to Norway and drink some beers or cocktails together. Time to get excited!

Not a big fan of surfing or want to give your body a rest? The hostel is also only a 3-minute walk to the more relaxing Dickwella Beach. This is the perfect beach to work on that tan, go for a swim, play a game of beachvolleybal or go for a nice morning run. Also, this is the best spot for a sunset beer with your new friends!

Barefoot Backpackers Hostel is a very social hostel. We have modern rooms with lockers, air-conditioning, and comfy beds. Throughout the season, we organize all kinds of activities in our common area and big garden. Get ready for social dinners, beachvolleybal tournaments, yoga lessons and so much more!

We’re excited to share that Barefoot Backpackers Ahangama Beach is officially open! After the amazing response to our hostel in Hiriketiya, we knew it was time to bring the Barefoot vibe to another beautiful part of Sri Lanka’s south coast — and Ahangama was the obvious choice.

Since November 2024, we’ve been welcoming travelers from all over the world to our brand-new hostel in Ahangama. We’re just a 5-minute walk from the beach, cozy cafés, vibrant beach bars, and some of the best surf spots on the south coast — both walking and short driving distance! Whether you’re here to surf, relax, dance, or meet fellow backpackers, this is the place to be.

Ahangama is quickly becoming one of the most popular beach towns in Sri Lanka, and for good reason. It’s a laid-back paradise with stunning coastline, consistent waves, and a buzzing social scene. And now you’ve got the perfect hostel to experience it all.

So if you’re planning your next adventure and looking for a fun, social, and affordable hostel in Ahangama, we’d love to welcome you to Barefoot Backpackers Ahangama!
