    I had a great time. It was a very chilled atmosphere and vibe. The food was really good and it filled my appetite! I really recommend this place and I can’t wait to go there tomorrow again for a yoga session and chilled banana pancakes for breakfast!

    Nice place to be however there’s a huge margin of improvement in a very important aspect. Me and my friend group went for sound bath, yoga classes, breakfast. One thing I’d love to see from them is some more investment towards Sri Lankan people. If this is already being done, I have not seen it and it would personally make me feel better to contribute in a business that contributes to some communities that are not as lucky as the one this hotel belongs to. For example, in some local cafes, by the cashier, there are things that you can buy and the money goes to the local people in need. Here I saw merch being sold, but no sort of charity mentioned. Keeping in mind that this is a very “spritual” place with visitors with quite good income range, they should be doing more and give more visibility to this. This aspect kept me from going back for more to Jamu and limited our visits since I rather wanted to support local businesses.

    Make sure to spend some time at Jamu, be it just for the cafe, the accommodation, or the proximity to nice beaches. All the staff and other guests are very welcoming and it felt like we were visiting people we know. Passing time in the room or at the cafe was wholesome and deeply relaxing, two things that are very valuable if you’re trying to recover from a long day or the stress at home. I can’t speak for the yoga lessons, but we saw lots of happy (and relaxed) faces :)

    I had a great time staying at Jamu lodge. The rooms are beautiful; cool, fresh and lots of space. The guys running Jamu are all super chill and friendly. It's also very close to some great surf spots!

    Like a Balinese yoga/surf/healthy-eating retreat - only better!! By far the most beautiful place to stay at the beaches in Sri Lanka! Everything is perfect at Jamu - the vibe, surf, yoga classes, food(!) and most important - the people...Linus and the crew are doing the outmost to ensure that all guests are having the best time.. Beautiful beaches at your doorstep which are not crowded with people. Join the crew at the local beach clean up once a week :) Next time we will stay longer here - it is recommended to book early!

    A home away from home! At Jamu the vibe is always good, the rooms are fantastic and so is the service. And also their cinnamon buns are to die for!

    What a piece of paradise. What lovely people to welcome, stretch and caffinate us through the day. What meticulous attention to detail. What a tranquil bedroom for one to sleep in. What a unique bathroom for one to freshen-up in. What concrete. What flora and fauna. What a lush tropical hideaway. What a feeling... what a place!

    I just want to say what a pleasure to have stumbled upon Jamu ♥. Was invited to have a cuppa here one day by friends. What a vibe. Awesome people to meet and exchange stories with. They have a board of their weekly yoga schedule in the cafe. Keep an eye for weekend "movie nights". On a clear nights you'd be lucky to be watching movie under the stars with amazing fireflies about. Such a great way to meet other travelers and alike. Powerhouse yoga and acrobat instructors Kamila and Stian. (haven't personally been to their official classes) but can recommend as my husband and I had an amazing experience with this activity by the beach at such random fun session with the instructors. Love the coffee, love the people. Definitely in the radar for future travel. Thank you staff!

    Super nice little place to stay. Very lovingly built and furnished. The owners are very nice and create a very pleasant and calm atmosphere. The daily yoga is highly recommended. The breakfast is excellent and the coffee is outstanding.

    Amazing space. I've spend there many mornings and afternoons drinking some coffee or kombucha and having some very nice food, while working and enjoying the vibe. One of my favorite spots in Weligama!

    Really nice accommodation, clean and comfy. Beautiful outdoor bathroom. We were there in the off season and it felt a little like that. Think it was be better in high season . Breakfast was good and great coffee. Communication with staff was a little tricky but again I think that would be better in high season and they were really nice.

    Our experience at JAMU Surf Lodge was nothing short of amazing. The lodge is situated in a picturesque location, surrounded by lush greenery and just a stone's throw away from the beach. The accommodation is comfortable and clean, and the staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere at JAMU Surf Lodge is relaxed and laid-back, which makes it a great place to unwind and disconnect from the hustle of daily life. The lodge also offers yoga classes, which were a great way to relax and unwind after a day of surfing. Overall, we highly recommend JAMU Surf Lodge for anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable surf vacation in Sri Lanka. The staff, accommodation, food, and surfing experience were all exceptional, and we cannot wait to return in the future.

    My partner and I came to this place for a Yin Yoga class. Tobi, the yoga teacher, was so good! We had a very joyful class and had a lovely conversation afterwards. The hotel is right next to beach, many surfers were staying there. It has a lovely ambiance ☺️

    If there is a perfect place to stay during your holidays it’s Jamu. Here is where one can unwind and disconnect from the hustle of daily life. It’s surrounded by nature and very close to the beach. Comfortable and clean, with laid back atmosphere, friendly staff, and great food at the cafe. Wish we could stay longer!

    This place is a dream. The best atmosphere and most relaxing vibes in the best area on the South Coast. Shreys is a brilliant manager and the rest of the staff is incredible.

    The cosiest little hotel in Weligama! We have stayed at Jamu before and always want to come back! Love the beautiful interior and the friendly staff. Offers great yoga classes in the morning and evening. In evenings the yoga is on the rooftop which is really magical. Also the food is really delicious and Jamu is worth a visit just for lunch or a coffee break as well 🥰

    As you can see from all the photos, the lodge is beautiful, clean and cozy. What makes this place so special are the people. A big thank you to Sherya, Pila, Faye and Lars. The budget single room was perfectly spacious for one. The ac and fan kept the room dry and cool and the bed was very comfortable. I highly recommend all the yoga classes too :)

    Best place ever. The food, the drinks, the atmosphere, the yoga classes, the staff, everything is done to make us feel good there. I didn't stayed there but the cafe and yoga classes are open for everyone. Lot of different kind of yoga, and the schedule change every week. Differents teachers, I did classes with 3 of them which were all really competent and nice. This place really contributed to make my stay in Midigama even nicer. Thank you so much Jamu 🤍✨

  • 5/5 Britta L. 1 year ago on Google
    Jamu is the best place to stay when traveling to the south coast of Sri Lanka. The staff is super nice and accommodating. I had the best time there escaping the cold in Europe in November. I felt at home at Jamu! I was supported with everything imaginable. Thank you Shreya and thank you to the whole team. You made my trip very special and rememborable💛

  • 5/5 Leon B. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is great. Very clean and stylish with a superb host Shreya who will take care of anything. The location is just next to a beautiful beach and a 5 minute Tuktuk ride to Weligama Main Spot.

    Super beautiful and relaxing place. Had some great juices and some french press coffee. Prices are a slightly higher than usual, but it's worth it.

  • 5/5 Linda M. 2 years ago on Google
    Such a beautiful and calm place. Jamu’s was our first stop in Sri Lanka and we had such a great time. This place is perfect to arrive, come down and relax. The whole team is really helpful, totally friendly and so kind. Also to mention- the food is so good: especially the avo & egg & the surfers dream bowl. We can totally recommend this beautiful location.

  • 5/5 Oskar E. 2 years ago on Google
    Wow, just WOW! The rooms, the food, the yoga, the wonderful surroundings is magical! On top of this it’s 1 minute to great surf and lovely sunsets all silver lined with the wonderful staff. Thanks, we will be back for sure!
