Hiriketiya

Tucked discreetly near Dikwella, the enchanting horseshoe cove of Hiriketiya (fondly known as 'Hiri') has emerged as Sri Lanka's most stylish coastal enclave. With lush jungle tumbling right down to turquoise waters and a community celebrating surf culture, holistic wellness, and slow living, Hiriketiya is a coastal dreamscape.

Surf, Wellness & Laid-Back Chic

The unique geography of the bay creates two distinct surf zones: a gentle sandy-bottom shore break ideal for first-timers, and an exhilarating left-hand point reef break favored by seasoned wave riders. Between surf sessions, unwind in jungle-canopied yoga shalas, savor specialty cold-brew coffees and wood-fired pizzas, or paddle out on a stand-up paddleboard to watch sea turtles surfacing in the calm shallows.
