Directly next door is the new addition of the beautiful Open Jungle Yoga Shala and a unique cafe/restaurant and bar that is situated in a very peaceful jungle space. Come off the beach and have a cocktail in the pool!

Just excellent

This is a really fantastic place, with amazing staff. Our apartment was great, the pool was great, the breakfast was amazing ... and just 50m from the beach. The staff really made us feel like family there. I can't recommend it enough

Reviewed By kikivanrong

I had an amazing time at Dots Bay House! Extended my stay by two nights as I enjoyed it so much. The dorms are very clean and comfortable (they offer some privacy). The yoga classes are very nice, and in my opinion one of the best I have had in Sri Lanka. Breakfast is delicious and the place is beatifully situated on the beach, though the staff is what makes your stay extra special. Thanks everyone, especially Shafni & Jason, for this wonderful experience!

The Salty Pelican Surf & Yoga Retreat

We are The Salty Pelican Surf & Yoga Retreats based in a handful of beautiful locations throughout Portugal and Sri Lanka. We are not your standard surf & yoga retreat but with a bit of a twist… and we don't just mean with your asanas ! We like to refer to ourselves as a social lifestyle retreat, where a detox juice may be absent but where a glass of locally sourced wine at sunset will not be !

Absolutely amazing!

Reviewed By ShaqiriG

The location, the people, the food, the yoga and surfing activities - simply everything is absolutely amazing!

Jasper House

Experience the pristine beauty of nature without having to sacrifice a luxurious experience. Surrounded​ by leafy coconut palms, with far-reaching ocean views, Jasper House is a boutique hotel that offers the perfect blend of quiet seclusion and accessibility to the beautiful Hiriketiya beach location. A vibrant surf town with a buzzing community, Hirikiteya Bay is one of the Southern Province’s best surf breaks for beginner and advanced surfers. Beach cafes line the shore, and situated just a two-minute walk up the hill, Jasper House benefits from a degree of separation–making it perfect for those looking for a relaxing break. Open-air rooms invite the sounds of the ocean and swaying palm trees into a relaxing space that fills your soul. Combine this with onsite yoga, a beautiful rock pool and sunsets from our rooftop lounge - you will not want to leave.

The best kept secret of the southern coast

Reviewed By Quest H

Wow. What an incredible place. I booked for 5 days and stayed for 3 weeks. It’s a beautiful spot literally on the beach. They have a coworking space with blazing fast fibre optic internet perfect for digital nomads. They have the best coffee in Sri Lanka, incredible breakfast a really really cool vibe. They have tons of games, a volleyball court and only a 5 minute walk to Hirikitiya But what really made this place special were the staff. I really felt like family there. Each person contributed to the vibe and the feeling in their own unique way and I think I haven’t felt so at home and so happy in many years. I can’t recommend voulez vous enough. It’s the perfect place on a paradise beach, run by the most down to earth, kind hearted people. I will remember this place forever. ?

Great location on a beautiful stretch of beach

Reviewed By 953jeremyk

The resort is located at the end of a pristine stretch of quiet beach. On both ends are small protected coves for swimming, and the far cove (about 1 mile down) was excellent for our small children. The resort itself is a bit dated, but the rooms were immaculate, pool was very clean and well maintained. We had one of the family rooms which had A/C and good amenities. Warning: the stairs to the upstairs loft very steep which was a safety concern for our small children. The food here is just okay, with continental menu items for lunch and dinner. The breakfast got a bit repetitive after a few days.

Tourist trap

Reviewed By AnalogUe7

I ordered the coral fish. It’s not cheap. The fish head still had raw blood on it. The fish smelled bad and tasted funky. The rice came much later than the fish and salad. I was hungry so ate bits of it. Hope I don’t get food poisoning tonight. The ambiance is a run down beach shack. The sun”beds” are free to use but they don’t have any mats. They are a bunch of slats with splinters sticking out. There is no table service at the sun beds. I had to walk up to the restaurant area to order and pay afterwards. The food price was 3 star, the food and customer service was 1/2 star.

Haven Hiriketiya

Located in one of the most beautiful bays in Sri Lanka, Hiriketiya beach, Haven is a brand new Boutique Guesthouse boasting the best views of the small surfing paradise. Surrounded by tropical jungle and modern, boutique businesses, it really is a true gem of the Sri Lankan south coast. Each of our four king-sized bedrooms open out onto a balcony depicting a full view of the beach, which is less than a minute walk away from the property.

Excellent location and room but expensive and no service

Reviewed By raina m

Haven Hiri is located right at the beach with balcony rooms having the beach view. That is the best part about staying here. The rooms are tastefully done and very clean Unfortunately, apart from this everything else is negative. Cons: There is no reception/service desk. Their reception is in the nearby hotel Haven Hill One has to go to the other hotel for Check-in and check out formalities Even for breakfast, you have to go to the nearby hotel. Breakfast area is beautiful but breakfast has no options. Especially for a vegetarian. I had to pay seperately for my cappuccino during breakfast despite the expensive prices they charge for the rooms Expensive considering they don't have a reception or even a decent breakfast

On The Beach!

Stayed here for 2 nights and were well hosted in a friendly manner. The accommodation is exactly like the photos advertised. Beds are extra large and comfortable in spacious rooms. Shared balconies up stairs and downstairs including a shared fridge if you wish to refrigerate your own drinks and food. Restaurants are close by, Bahia is 20 metres away and offer great food, drinks and coffees in a cool garden setting. Surfboard rentals are available at the property for good prices. This is a good value for money stay in Hiriketiya Beach.

Worst dinner

Reviewed By annadY3205EP

We had our worst dinner here during our 2 weeks holiday in Sri Lanka. We were served an old and dry meal that tasted really bad. We mentioned this but they didn't offer us anything else and had to pay the whole amount anyway.
