About Us
Built for Travelers & Inspired by Sri Lanka


Rooted in Vibes, Built for Connection
Hangtime Hostel is more than just a place to stay β itβs a vibrant coastal hub where surf, yoga, food, and real connection come together. Built by three passionate travelers, Niall, Nik, and Maggi, Hangtime was born out of a love for Sri Lankaβs warm people and raw beauty β and a vision to create something more than a guesthouse.
Located steps from the waves of Weligama, itβs where travellers can slow down, share stories, and live with intention. From our rooftop yoga and surf-friendly beach to boat-bed rooms and open-air cafΓ©, Hangtime reflects the spirit of the island β with handmade touches, natural vibes, and soul-soothing adventures.

Delicious Food and great View. We went here our experience was totally amazing, friendly staff aways smiling and warm welcome. Restaurant Food was excellent tasty and good selection for breakfast and dinner. Yes it needs some upgrading but it was clean. I spoke to the local manager, he is really friendly guy and they are doing some refurbishment. We will definitely come back.

Man muss den Smoothie unbedingt probiert haben, die sind sehr gut. Meine Favoriten sind die Wraps und das FrΓΌhstΓΌck! π«Άπ» Mareike KottlowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Super Hostel direkt am Strand. Du stehst auf, gehst ΓΌber die StraΓe und kannst mit dem Surfen beginnen. Ich war zwei Mal in dem Hostel weil es mir so gut gefallen hat. Man lernt sehr schnell andere Backpacker im Zimmer kennen. Die Zimmer sind groΓ und man hat ein Badezimmer pro Zimmer. Die Matratzen sind leider etwas dΓΌnn, und das Bett hart. Es gibt WhatsApp Gruppenchats und Sociale ActivitΓ€ten. Kein Partyhostel. Im Hostel selbst ist es leise. Al_ _exTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place and nice vibe! The hostel is approximately 10 minutes walking from the main bus and railway station. It's on the opposite side of the street which has all the surf shops. You can rent boards for surfing and take a class. The hostel itself is very nice except for the price of the restaurant that is a bit expensive.
