Coliving with us in Matara
Welcome to Beachbums Coliving, a laid-back beachside home in Madiha on Sri Lanka’s stunning south coast. Set right on the ocean, it’s a space for travellers, digital nomads, and surfers to slow down, connect with good people, and settle into the easy rhythm of island life.
Our place is spread across two buildings — Beachside and Palm Side — with a mix of private AC and non-AC rooms, plus a shared dorm. Whether you’re staying short term or planning to hang around longer, you can choose the setup and budget that suit you, unpack your bags, and ease into beach life.
For those balancing work and waves, our brand-new coworking space sits on the ground floor, just steps from the sand. Designed for easy focus without losing that holiday feel, it’s the kind of place where you can work a few hours, take a swim, then dive back in when inspiration strikes.
Expect open ocean views, salty air, and all the essentials to keep things simple and comfortable - including free tea, coffee, and filtered water throughout the day. At Beachbums, it’s all about good energy, shared moments, and living right by the sea — island living done right

How to get here
Madiha is a small village situated just outside Matara city. Matara serves as a convenient transport hub in the southern region, making it highly accessible via public transport routes and a short drive from the south expressway. By Train Trains to Matara operate from Colombo Fort Station, which is the main railway station in Colombo. You will be traveling along the Coastal Line, also known as the Southern Line, which runs along Sri Lanka’s scenic southern coast. The train passes through popular destinations like Hikkaduwa, Galle, Weligama and Mirissa before reaching Matara. From here you can catch a tuk tuk to Madiha. By Bus If you prefer road travel over trains, buses offer a frequent and affordable way to reach Matara from Colombo and other parts of the island. There are several types of buses that operate from Colombo to Matara, with different levels of comfort, speed, and cost. We find the most convenient is the expressway bus. Expressway (Luxury) Buses: Fast and more comfortable, using the Southern Expressway (E01), bypassing most traffic. Air-conditioned, with reclining seats, and fewer stops.
