We are about 500m from Galle Road and the Walgama bus stop, which connects to just about anywhere on the south coast. Tuk tuks are easy to find: roughly LKR 300 to Matara, where buses leave for all of Sri Lanka, and about LKR 500 to Mirissa. Matara train station is 3km away.

From Colombo, take the highway bus to Matara. They run all day from 6am to 8:30pm from Pettah, Kaduwela or Maharagama, and the trip is about two and a half hours. From the airport there are only two direct highway buses a day, so a taxi or tuk tuk to Colombo and the bus from there is often easier.

Not in a rush? The train from Colombo to Matara is cheaper, slower, and a lot of fun.

Yes. We work with a driver named Mahesh who is reliable and professional. Message him on WhatsApp on +94 77 226 5500 and give him a bit of notice, especially in peak season.

Yes. There are three breaks within a short walk of The Doctor's House and the waves are great.

Not really. They are reef breaks best suited to intermediate surfers. Mirissa and SK Town are a short tuk tuk ride away and much friendlier for beginners.

We don't run yoga ourselves, but there are plenty of great classes nearby. Ask any of the staff and you'll be doing downward dog in no time.
