Lighthouse Ahangama

I had an amazing time at Lighthouse. It really felt like being at home there. As a solo traveler I made a lot of friends. The location is simply perfect. You wake up and have an amazing view of the ocean and for surfers you can check the conditions of a few spots. Also, surfing in Devil Island peak is just a paddle away. The atmosphere of the place is great! All people working at Lighthouse are extremely friendly, competent and professional. I was also amazed by the quality of the food, had great meals there. There is both a rooftop and a garden which you can appreciate the sunset. The staff gave the best recommendations on what to do, where to surf and how to get around. Definitely coming back soon!

This is a beautiful and soulful hot spot for surfers, friends, and all the likes of people. A gorgeous downstairs garden facing some impeccable waves, and an upstairs roof top bar, with arguably the best sunset view in Ahangama. The chef, Solo, is hands down one of the best on the coast, beautiful food, and extremely delicious, served always with so much love.

Absolutely incredible - possibly the nicest meal in the most unbelievable setting I think I’ve ever been to. Food was fantastic and the drinks were amazing. Staff so lovely. 10/10

There’s nothing compared to the positive energy this place has given me. From amazing sunsets by the ocean to creative cocktails over nice music at the rooftop. The staff and guests were very kind. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I can’t wait to go back for the second time this year!

The Lighthouse cafe became one of our favourite places to be. The ambience and location is a wonderful spot to kickback and enjoy the view with some great food. My wife and I returned multiple times and have eaten different dishes on the menu. The food was always delicious. The staff are really friendly and kind. It’s also a great place to stop in and have a coffee or refreshening drink as you watch the waves crash on the shore. We would really recommend this spot to all.

My favorite place around!
Beautiful garden during the day to work/ read/ swim/ have some breakfast... Really chilled and peaceful vibe.

The Lighthouse Ahangama is quite literally the reason I now consider Sri Lanka and - more specifically Ahangama - my second home. Every detail of the stay, from the attentive always-smiling service to the unique and delicious menu curated by the culinary master Mr. Solo. Every aspect is an experience. It’s warm, it’s peaceful, and their extremely popular rooftop is known amongst locals and tourists alike to be the best sunset spot for miles. Did I mention the unmatched welcoming vibe of the owner? Or the unique live music that often fills the greenery of the beachfront garden? Or the surf? Did I mention the view of a horizon so wide that it’ll make you existential? There are hundreds of reasons to come here but my number one reason is that unlike any other place in the world, whether it’s your first time at The Lighthouse or your fourth, it’s that as soon as you set foot in it, you feel like you’re finally home.

Did not stay here but I’ve visited the restaurant three times in just a few days! The service is very good, staff always smiling and genuinely care if you’re having a good time. Great food, possibly some of the best hummus dips I’ve ever eaten! Keep up the good work guys!

The hotel is by the shore, just in front of a beautiful surfing spot…what can we want more ?
Thanks you 🙏🙏🙏

The best sunset spot in ahangama, fantastic food, tasty cocktails with beautiful rooms overlooking the ocean. The team was very friendly and service was fantastic. A must visit for anyone looking at the south of Sri Lanka

Super beautiful place facing the sea.
Perfect for a little escapade.
Great drinks and food.

Really really loved this place.

- the building itself is beautiful and is striking from the minute it hits the horizon
- the lawn area and the view out to see is second to none and is filled with comfortable seating for you to take it all in
- it's a great place to people watch 😅

We managed to get there on a night where there was a DJ playing great tracks, which brought in all the backpackers.

The overall vibe was great and watching the sunset from the small portion of beach in front (they closed the roof for the event) was amazing.

It's not the cheapest spot. Something to keep in mind.

Would highly recommend.

We absolutely loved staying at the Lighthouse - what a unique place!
The rooms are spacious and beautiful. It has a gorgeous garden to relax in right by the sea. The rooftop bar is great - amazing cocktails and sunset. The food is on another level - super delicious. Tarek and the rest of the staff were so friendly, attentive and caring. He helped us at giving recommendations for surf lessons and massage. Would 100% recommend it as a great place to stay!

The lighthouse: our happy place..
We liked it so much we canceled another bookin just to come back and finish our holidays at the lighthouse.. that actually says it all :)..
Every single one here, from the gardener, to the portier, to the cleaning personal, the service, the kooks, the manager, the cat and dogs and even the owner are super nice and chill.. one feels very welcome..

cool beachfront garden with shade and style.. great clean rooms all with seaview and style.. great rooftop bar/restaurant for a sundowner or dinner.. great surfspot right in front of the hotel.. great food (treveller ceviche was my personal favorite)..
furniture and everything else very stylish but still very relaxed, nothing left to chance, great love for detail.. super easy 5/5 stars..
Thank you for having us.. we will definetly come back :))..

It's the only experience you need when I'm South Sri Lanka, you would be missing out on quality of everything if you don't, the food, the rooftop bar and the garden are all gems

Very nice place! Good drinks & the view ist just amazing! Perfect for the sundowner 😊

Never had the chance to stay here but been a frequent visitor to their rooftop bar. And really, nothing can beat that view! Amazing to sit and watch the sun go down while surfers are trying their best to catch the last wave before dusk. Cocktails and food is great and so is the music!! Great hosts and great staff!

It is safe to say " I never want to leave this place " the minute you step foot at Lighthouse.
The staff, Tarek & Solo were so welcoming and extremely generous and just beautiful.
Suddenly it felt like home with family specially with sultan the cat. The whole experience has switched my perspective on traveling in the best way !
The rooftop and garden views are incredible not to mention the music and the food and drinks. absolutely wonderful journey ! recommended big time , can't wait to go back.
also if you are going for 6 days or less it's not enough :)

Came here for sunset drinks and food! Was delicious, good drinks epic settling and such friendly people and dogs
