Hiriketiya Beach offers some of the best waves. If you're new to surfing, Lucky is a certified instructor who will teach you to stand on your board in no time.

To set expectations: We've only just launched and are planning to install a generator. Until then, there are occasional power cuts in Sri Lanka. Please be aware of this when booking your stay. We will do our best to accommodate you and will give you a heads-up when we hear about planned power cuts from the electricity board.

Location
Hiriketiya
Near the residence, you'll find many local and Western-style restaurants and brunch places within walking distance. Closer to the beach, you'll find more food options, surfboard rentals, and more.
There's a small corner shop just a hop away from the co-living space, and the beach is only 7 minutes away.
The yoga shala is coming soon (planned for Q1 2025), and if there's anything a little further that you want to explore, we will arrange a motorbike rental for you.
