what people say about us
We spent 2 weeks in Weligama at Freedom, the place is great! Super quiet but close to the center, the room is very spacious and clean and the common area are perfect to chill, cook and have fun with the host/staff and the other guest. You can also enjoy outside area in the terrace and rooftop (up coming). Surfing wise we had the best time, surfing one or two times a day with a very nice and professional teacher! We improved a lot in such a short time. I do recommend to go there! You won’t regret it :) thanks a lot for everything, I hope to see you soon.

The Freedom Surf school and Villa was such a nice place! I was there 6 days for the Surf intense package and had the best time! The Villa is really beautiful and stylish, the staff ist great and especially Leo was always keen to help me and make it the best experience for me! I felt so welcome and like a family member. The surf school was also that nice! Everyone was so friendly and especially my Surf Teacher Madu was the best I could imagine. Such a funny guy and a really good teacher. I learned so much in these 6 days and had a really fun time!
Thanks a lot for treating me like a family member and for everything you did for me.

We spent 12 days last year and 23 days this year with the Freedom Surf Team and they are just amazing. On one hand their surf villa is nice and comfortable with delicious smoothie bowl breakfasts. Additionally our surfing sessions were always super cool. We are intermediates so we were taken many different surf spots- each of them were in line with our level and our coach & guide, Kiri made an excellent job so we improved a lot and had great fun in the same time.
Sri Lanka surfing is wonderful but there are also other things to do so upon our request many different trips and programs (for example safari, whale watching, etc.) were arranged for us easily, quickly and professionally: Thank you Leomi, thank you Ruan! :)
