EKUKU lake houses

As soon as we arrived, we felt right at home and immediately extended our stay for a whole month. The place is cozy, calm, and very clean — like your own little oasis, perfectly located yet quiet and private. The hosts are absolutely wonderful — truly a magical family. They helped us with everything: renting a scooter, offering access to the kitchen, even picking papaya leaves for us to help with a virus. Their kindness and care made our stay unforgettable. We’re so grateful for this beautiful place — highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, peace, and a warm-hearted atmosphere. 💛

The Owners are really really nice!! They try to help where they can. The enviorment is really nice too! If you looking for a calm place its a beatiful place. But dont go in the end of the season bc the restaurant is closed so you have to drive somewhere to find food.

I was not really happy with the Room, i was unlucky that, it was raining- so the humanity was really high, even my matress was wet bc they dont have ACs in the Rooms just fans. But the owners are super nice, bc after the first night i decided to check out early and they allowed even i booked for 3 nights and they didnt charged me for 3 nights just for one night. I think in the main season its really nice and when the restaurant is open bc i heard the food should be really really good. ! :)

The two people run EKUKU alongside their love of surfing in the Midigama area. If surfing is why you are going to the south, then this place is for you. The team that have been employed to help run EKUKU are attentive, friendly and great cooks. The slogan on the menu says “we cook food that we love” is true. With western owners and Sri Lankan workers, you see this in the food choices. As the lake houses are set back from the beach (about 500m) with a direct view over the lake, you get to see some wonderful wildlife outside your room, including freshwater turtles, every now and again.

Whilst we don’t mind bugs, being on a lake, there are a lot. The room gets very warm so you need to open the doors to get some air circulating meaning plenty of bugs, including mosquitos, do get in.

Hard to find the right words to describe Ekuku.. our staying was an unforgettable experience. Situated far from the noise of the main road, Ekuku is a peaceful and chilled place, where you’ll find yourself immersed in the tropical nature and surrounded by the sounds of the jungle, just a few minutes away from the best Midigama surf spots. We stayed in the lovely left apartment for 2 weeks, enjoying the relaxed vibe of the place and the delicious food of the restaurant, a nice mix of European and Sri Lankan flavours (everything’s super tasty and we recommend not to miss the lasagna when available!). Hedi, Alex and all the Ekuku crew were fantastic, always willing to share the best tips and advices and taking care of our needs. Ekuku is definitely the place to be in Midigama, we felt like home and will be back for sure! Be sure to follow them on Instagram to get a glimpse of the atmosphere and check out upcoming events. Ciao ciao! <3 Lorenzo e Alessia.
