Barefoot Backpackers Hostel, Hiriketiya Beach

PLEASE READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE BOOKING THE HOSTEL ❤️🧡💛💚

WE LOVE TRANSPARENCY
We TRULY believe in laying all our cards on the table BEFORE you roll the dice and book your stay with us. We don’t like to see you disappointed, so please READ the information down below BEFORE booking your stay with us

WHAT’S BAREFOOT’S VIBE?
Barefoot is made for SOLO travelers who want to make LIFELONG friends and dive into FUN activities with us! If you're all about meeting new people and soaking up the social atmosphere, you're in the right place.

To keep that friendly and inclusive vibe, we only accept solo travelers or pairs (maximum 2 people). Groups of friends, unfortunately, can’t be accommodated with us, as we’ve found it makes it harder for solo guests to bond with them. Booking multiple reservations to bypass this rule isn’t allowed.

WHO MIGHT NOT LOVE IT HERE? ⚠️
- Digital Nomads — our WiFi isn’t most likely up for the challenge, and we don’t have proper seating you might need for your work sessions
- Travelers looking for a quiet, non-social stay—we’re all about connection and community!

THE HOSTEL
Barefoot Backpackers Hostel, Ahangama Beach is like no other in Ahangama. We are a very social hostel that focusses on bringing backpackers together. We are surrounded by lush and a very serene garden. We are a cozy hostel near Ahangama Beach in Sri Lanka (4 min walk)! Whether you're hitting the waves or taking it easy, we've got your back. And just a short stroll away lies the center of Ahangama (3 min walk), where you can soak up the sun and enjoy sunset drinks with friends! Time to get excited!

PICTURE THIS
Kick off your day with a sunrise surf that would make Aquaman jealous, then swing by for a breakfast that's so good, it'll have you doing a happy dance. Next up, it's time to lounge in our garden paradise on beanbags so cushy, you'll forget what stress even feels like. And when the sun gets a little too friendly, run to the outside showers or play a little beachvolleybal game at our own field! After a day of beach antics and belly laughs, we've got a lineup of evening activities that'll have you giggling till your sides ache.

ACTIVITIES
Throughout the high season, we organize all kinds of activities in our common area and massive garden! Get ready for social dinners, beachvolleybal tournaments and so much more! Looking for your next travel destination? Ready to make some new friends? Excited to wake up with one of the best sea views? Don’t look any further and book your stay with us in Ahangama!
