Tucked into a horseshoe bay on the island’s southern coast, where jungle cliffs meet warm waves, and digital nomads trade city noise for scooter rides and coconut chats. Relaxed but buzzing.

first off, hiriketiya is THE ideal spot in sri lanka for nomads. it’s such a cute little town with a good mix of local spots and places catered more towards westerners. not to mention it’s super affordable, you can eat out for every meal for less than $10-15 per day. good surf, beautiful beach, cute cafes and good food.
the house actually exceeded my expectations, it’s even bigger and nicer in person. it’s about 12 min walk from most stuff in town and 20 min walk to the beach. but its location means you’re close to a lot of more local and cheap places to eat and shop. i didn’t find i needed transport but you could easily rent a scooter or bike for cheap.
if you’ve stayed at other nomadico locations, you know the community aspect is top notch and they coordinate multiple activities a week (surfing lessons, dinners, yoga, drinks) so there’s always something to do or people to hang with.
the hosts were exceptionally nice and hospitable! i booked my stay super last minute and they went out of their way to help me arrange my transportation. even calling the bus station to help me figure out the best route they ended up being much shorter and less complicated than what google maps suggested.
honestly everything exceeded my expectations, you won’t be disappointed!!
Slow Life in Hiriketiya is more than just a place to stay, it’s a little nomadic community where people from all over the world come together to live simply and intentionally. The space feels like home, with a relaxed atmosphere, shared meals, and conversations that flow late into the night. It’s not about luxury, but about connection with people, with nature, and with yourself. The beach is a 20-minute walk away, close enough for daily swims yet far enough to keep the surroundings calm and peaceful. If you’re looking for a place to slow down, share stories, and be part of a like-minded community, this is it.
