Sri Lanka
Where surf meets style by the sea
Nestled between jungle and sea, Hiriketiya is where time slows down. Palms sway overhead, waves roll in at dawn, and everything smells like salt and sunshine. This is barefoot living at its best.
The Salty Hiriketiya is a peaceful social haven just steps from the sea. Our jungle-side yoga shala, poolside restaurant, and laid-back community vibe make it easy to settle in. Come solo, leave with stories, and most definitely a few new friends.
