    I just joined Solid Surf House for a couple of days and wish that I could have stayed longer! It was such a great team spirit and surf experience there! You can participate in a lot of events - yoga, surfing, going to a party in the evening - or just relax in the nice pool surrounded by a nice setting with monkeys in the trees! 😍 The surfing places are great with Weligama Bay for beginners and Jungle Beach for advanced surfers. I will definitely come back! Many thanks for everything Solid Crew! Conclusion: Great vibes & Great surfing experience!

    I stayed at Solid for 2.5 weeks and it was a great experience! The surfinstructors were really helpful and I (a beginner) was able to improve a lot with their help :) I loved the food and the stuff was so nice. The rooms are very clean and the vibe in the house is really welcoming. Would recommend!

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Solid(Solo Traveller from USA). I cant begin to pin down my favorite part. The Staff is warm & Friendly from the moment you arrive, and they plan activities to help you meet and bond with the other guests(Thank you Tatiana for being such a great host!). I made great friends within the first couple days, who I was sad to leave and will certainly stay in touch with. The food is local, freshly prepared each day, and absolutely delicious. Rooms were kept clean. Most importantly I was thrilled with my surfing, as I came as a complete beginner and with great help from the instructors I was able to to surf several 3-4 foot(1meter) waves by the end of the week!

    We absolutely recommend staying here! The place looks so beautiful and they serve the best food in the whole country :-) All surf coaches were super nice and really funny. The quality of the lessons were great and pure fun. Thank you guys for advancing my surf skills and having such a great time here. The whole team rocks - thank you all!

    I will be back! πŸ„πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ After having a great stay at Solid in Bali last year, I decided to try Solid in Sri Lanka as well and I had the most wonderful time there. The whole atmosphere is very welcoming, all the staff is making a lot of effort so guests feel comfortable and the food is more than delicious! For the surf lessons they take you to a beach nearby by Tuktuk (around 10 minute ride) and there is also some restaurants and cafeβ€˜s for lunch break. Due to good guidance I was able to really improve my surfing. Also, the yoga sessions were perfectly guided and a great way to stretch after or before surfing. I can 100% recommend this place.

    First time surfing - and this is the place to be! Incredible facilities, the food is top notch and the staff make your stay more than conforming! The entire experience was better than I expected - the surf team are helpful and kind, the house well equipped and very cosy. I stayed in the superior room - it had everything I needed and more! Details like an international plug/converter made my stay more comfortable! Thanks guys! This was everything and more!

    Great experience, amazing food cooked in the open kitchen. Host and staff super friendly. Felt very comfortable during my stay. If I can add one aspect to rethink it would be to get a little bit more instructions during the surf sessions. But in total amazing stay.

  • 5/5 Anna W. 11 months ago on Google
    We had a very nice stay at Solid. The atmosphere is modern and familiar and we enjoyed the breakfast and dinner everyday. The beach was good for me as a beginner and the yoga sessions were a perfect complement. Thank you for having us!

    Had the best week at Solid Surf house in Weligama. The accommodation is very good value and looks exactly like the photos (if not better in person!). I came as a beginner and progressed a lot in a week. Everyone working here is so friendly and makes you feel very at home!! Food is also really good. No complaints 😊

  • 5/5 Felix H. 4 months ago on Google
    Solid is definitely a great place to go. Very organized, very friendly staff. The room (stayed in a superior room) was clean and in a very good condition. The food was awesome each night. Yoga classes two times a day were so good. Surfing lessons are splitted by different levels. Each member of the surf team try their very best to support your learning experience. I can definitely recommend this hotel/camp, it is the full package. I will DEFINITELY come back.

    +The food!! Without doubt the best of the surfcamp. +Cool atmosphere. I liked the setup: open space area and kitchen, pool, coaches to sit and chill. +Honesty fridge is nice. +Movie nights and surf review nights are a great idea. +Yoga, social activities and parties were great! +Price was competitive. +Staff always friendly. +Company embraces feedback, both positive and negative. ----- -I wasn't too satisfied with the surf itself: more feedback needed, changing coaches every day isn't necessary the best idea, would be nice to have a bit of progression. -I didn't like either how board damage was handled and their damage policy: get the insurance. All in all i had a great time with some things to be improved!

    We spent a week at Solid Surf. The welcoming with Becky was super nice and we also liked the accommodation. We had a superior room down by the pool - which is nicely done. What we didn't like so much was that the room was very noisy, the doors didn't close properly and you could hear the conversations in the evening and all the kitchen work in the early morning. We just got used to it a bit in the course of time. There was construction work on 2 days during our stay, which was a bit annoying as we wanted to relax after surfing. The surf lessons were okay, it depended on which surf instructor you had. I would have liked a bit more introduction and feedback. The video analysis was on our last day, so it didn't help me much for my further development. The food and the yoga lessons were really good. And the best thing was simply the people we met here.

    Thank you for your amazing hospitality! I really enjoyed the stay in the camp. The Yoga is amazing, food is delicious and of course I loved the surf lessons. During my two weeks stay I could improve my surfing, the teachers are very helpful! The whole staff is outstanding, specially shout out to Becky, Harry and Tim. Thank you! Definitely recommend! β˜€οΈβ˜€οΈβ˜€οΈ

    Having been to many surfcamps, that's easily one of the best ! Beautiful house, well equipped and maintained, friendly workers, activities organized on a regular basis, daily yoga included, surf twice a day and amazing food !! Also, I appreciated the maturity of the guests staying the same week as me, allowing for relaxing times. As some people pointed out, maybe the surf instructors could be a bit more helpful when in the water by giving you more tips, but I still appreciated spending time with mine as he was super fun and pushed us to our limits during rough water conditions πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ

    I did the Surf Academy at Solid Surf and I can absolutely recommend doing so. That place offers a great variety of super delicious food, provides clean accommodation and prepared us receiving our surf teacher license by taking us out to surf 2 times a day. Good teaching and super friendly staff - really felt at home there!

  • 5/5 S B. 4 months ago on Google
    A week here felt like 3 months away, in the best way possible. Amazing food, people, surfing and yoga. All facilities are amazing, everything is clean, and it's very friendly. Great for solo travellers but also groups. Can't recommend it highly enough and will definitely check out some other Solid locations around the world.

  • 5/5 Kamila M. 2 years ago on Google
    This place is a paradise! Nice location under the trees, so lots of shade, never too hot. Beautiful and very clean rooms. The outdoor shower is now forever in my life goals. The stuff is so nice, the place feels like home. Also dinners are extraordinary, chiefs cook something new everyday. Surf lessons are very good, your instructor is tracking your progress and you can change boards, try different spots and waves as you progress. They have beautiful yoga lessons twice a day, which really help to prepare your body for surfing and to relax at the end of the day. 10/10, I recommend this place to everyone and I definitely will come back!

    Staying at solid surf house was an unforgettable experience! As someone who loves hitting the waves, it is the perfect getaway. The staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making me feel right at home. The accommodations were comfortable, clean, and had the perfect surfer vibe. What I really loved about staying at solid surf house was how easy it was to meet other surfers from all over the world. We all shared a love for the ocean and the thrill of riding the waves. The communal atmosphere created an instant sense of camaraderie and made for some unforgettable memories. The surf lessons were exceptional, and the instructors were top-notch. They were patient and encouraging, helping me improve my skills in no time. I felt safer and more confident surfing at the spot knowing the instructors were keeping a watchful eye on me. Overall, my stay at solid surf house was an amazing adventure. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned surfer, the experience is well worth it. I can't wait to go back and hit the waves again! So, if you're looking for a thrilling surf adventure, I highly recommend checking out solid surf house.

    Solid surf house it’s an amazing place! Well equipped, comfy and cozy, and a great bunch of people works there! Surf lesson were good, both for beginners and intermediate, there is a surf analysis video on Friday which is super helpful to get some feedback ! Yoga classes are twice per day, I personally been only in the morning, which is great to stretch before jumping on the board πŸ„β€β™‚οΈ Rooms were comfy, AC working amazingly, nicely decorated, and the food is just excellent. Every day a different cuisine, many choices, and you can tell the chef your allergies/ preferences and he will cook accordingly. It was really a wonderful stay, so sad to leave this place and all the amazing people we met here! See you all soon hopefully! X

    Solid was so welcoming and the staff were lovely. The food including breakfast and dinner was exceptional, the chefs always made an extra effort in the mornings with my orders! The superior rooms were beautiful and the design was stunning. I tried surfing for the first time ever and I thoroughly loved it, I can’t wait to do it again! :) I would love to return at some point in the future.

  • 5/5 Florentien W. 1 year ago on Google
    My stay at Solid was amazing! I booked for two weeks and extended with another two weeks because I liked the vibe so much. The staff is super friendly and the chefs prepare the best food ever!! The rooms and the chill area are super clean. Enough place to hang out, chill and to connect with other people. I would recommend everyone to get a taste of this family vibe, but be warned: you might not want to leave.

  • 5/5 Inna I. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect place for beginners. Qualified instructors will help you to pop up correctly and ride your first wave. I’ve stayed there for 8 days and got a good progress in surfing. The camp itself is very stylish, the food is extremely delicious and the staff is amazing! I definitely recommend you Solid camp for your next trip.

  • 5/5 calle r. 1 year ago on Google
    I really enjoyed my one week stay at solid surf house. The house is beautiful with a lot of nice common areas. The food, both breakfast and dinner, was amazing. Before this trip I had not really surfed that much but thanks to the kind and friendly surf instructors I managed to catch my first proper waves, which was awesome. I can warmly recommend solid surf house to anyone considering going to Sri Lanka to meet lovely people, eat good food and enjoy surfing!

  • 5/5 Elias H. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing place! In magical surroundings, with the friendliest hosts, surf instructors, and local chefs making the best food. Thank you for making my first solo travel absolutely unforgettable. This place really is a paradise from the minute you walk in, such a relaxing atmosphere with a nice pool, palm trees and sometimes monkeys hanging in the trees around the camp. So close to all the good surf spots, just outside the camp the same nice tuck tuck drivers are waiting for you. Otherwise you can just have a short walk to jungle beach and surf! All the people here a so friendly. Definitely coming back!

  • 5/5 Alberte G. 1 year ago on Google
    Solid Surf House is an amazing place. All the people are super nice and it's a good opportunity to meet other people from around the world. There is room for beginners as well as the very experienced. The food is absolutely fantastic. Definitely some of the best food we've had in Sri Lanka. I can only recommend others to book their surf school here. πŸ„πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸŒ΄β˜€οΈ

    I’ve been to Solid twice - amazing place, which feels like home! Both times I’ve met amazing people, who become your family in a week spent together. A separate shout out to Solid crew - hosts and surf instructors - who create this warm and fun vibe around, always eager to help and make your stay unforgettable. Thanks to Solid instructors I fell in love with surfing and made a great progress in a short period of time. The house itself is super cozy, rooms are very clean and modern. Food was great as well with different cuisine everyday and BBQ nights. Definitely would recommend to anyone who’s looking for a surf camp in Sri Lanka.

  • 5/5 Alice P. 1 year ago on Google

    I already stayed at Solid in Morocco and Bali. Now it was time for Sri Lanka and one thing I have to say is: Solid never disappoints. It all started with the friendliest driver Nimesh who picked me up at the airport. When I arrived at Solid and walked in I felt the good vibes straight away. Jay and Ary welcomed me with a big smile and showed me around. It didn't take long and I became part of the lovely Solid family. Everyone who works here (houskeeping, cooks, security, hosts, surf instructors, yoga teacher and the managment team make you feel so welcome and at home. The house is beautiful with its interior design, the swimming pool and all the little details. It is super well located and only a few mintues walking distance away from a stunning beach called Jungle beach. I stayed two weeks in the dorm. Sanjeewa was amazing. The rooms were always super clean and he put so much love into the details when he made the rooms. The food was super delicious and fresh from breakfast to dinner incl. the best BBQ. Krishanta and his team they are amazing. I loved joining Tim's yoga classes. He always made sure everyone feels good and was always open for wishes. He is a little ray of sunshine and spreads so much inner peace and happiness. I joined the intermediate/ advanced surf group. Sam was my guide and he was so flexible about the surfing hours. We surfed from dusk till dawn and he always selected the best spots. He always explained the spots and made sure I felt good in the water and could catch as many waves as possible. He always gave me tips and made surfing so much fun. I laughed a lot. It was more like surfing with a friend. You can tell that it is his passion and he loves to surf and share the stoke with you. Ary and Jay are just the best. They were always super helpful and spreaded so much good vibes in the house. They joined the surf, the partying and many more activites and always created good vibes and made sure everyone has a good time. Everything just flows so smooth here at Solid. It is hard to leave this place with such amazing people in such a beautiful place.

    The experience you get at Solid is a big family vibe. From the moment you arrive everything feels very comfortable and known. The rooms are amazing, always clean and good quality furniture. All the crew keeps hanging out with you so it never feels like you are alone. The food is amazing with a big variety of dishes going from Western to Sri Lankan food. I would certainly go back to Solid if I ever take a holiday again in a country where Solid is.
