🌊 Volunteer at our nice Hostel in Mirissa, Sri Lanka 🇱🇰

We’re located in the vibrant beach town of Mirissa, on the southern coast of Sri Lanka—famous for its stunning beaches, whale watching, surf spots, and laid-back atmosphere. Our hostel combines modern design with relaxed island vibes, offering spacious, stylish, and ultra-comfortable accommodation.

🏡 Our Story

After leaving a career in finance and traveling the world for 18 months, I found my way to Sri Lanka to create the kind of hostel I always dreamed of staying in—authentic, comfortable, and full of great energy. My goal is to offer every guest a memorable experience through honest advice, warm hospitality, and quality service that exceeds expectations.

👥 Our Team & Volunteer Philosophy

We have a core team of 6–8 amazing local staff members who manage everything from guest services to cooking, cleaning, accounting, and daily operations.

We accept a maximum of two volunteers at a time, ensuring a personalized and enriching exchange.
