Hiriketiya Beach
Flanked by a pair of jungle-tangled headlands, Hiriketiya’s deep bay is a real showstopper. Discovered by sun-kissed surfers, this dramatic setting, low-key atmosphere and year-round swimming now holds universal appeal. Hidden beneath coconut palms, the bay houses a chic collection of timber-frame restaurants, coffee shops, guesthouses and villas, stretching up and over the western hill en route to neighboring Dikwella’s vast sandy bay. Try The Salty Pelican Yoga & Surf Retreat just three minutes walk from the beach.
