a coliving community · since Aug. 2025
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.

slow life is amazing! My second time with nomadico and 100% recommend to other digital nomads! Lina and AJ are so lovely, and everyone is so welcoming. Such a warm and friendly environment & the house itself is beautiful and so spacious!!
I had the privilege of being amongst the first to sample Slow Life Co Living in Hiriketiya, for a week in August 2025. The house was well set up, with rooms that were spotlessly clean and tidy, and a variety of shared chill / work areas to connect with fellow nomads and adventurers. Challenges were navigated well by the warm and compassionate community manager (Pan Vic Qi), who along with the hosts, helped create an open respectful environment for acquaintances to become friends.
The 3 excellent beaches and variety of rustic local cafes within 15-30min walk, were just an added bonus. Hiri is an incredible small beach town where tropical animals, nomads, locals, chilled out street dogs, and delicious kottu / hoppers / short eats vendors co-exist in harmony.
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 ❤️
Slow Life Co-Living is amazing! 🌴 It’s super comfortable, had everything we needed, and is just a short walk to the beach. We stayed here for a month and honestly didn’t want to leave. The best part was the great community where we shared experiences, traveled together, cooked, had dinners, played games, and had so many good conversations. As locals, we loved meeting people from all over the world as it was fun, interactive, and truly unforgettable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a friendly, relaxed, and homely place to stay! 🌊✨
I stayed here for about a month and honestly had such a good time. The place has everything you need comfy spaces, good coworking setup, but what really made it special was the people. It was super social, we did lots of fun stuff together, and the hosts even joined us on a safari in Yala which was amazing. Felt more like living with friends than just booking a place. Would definitely come back.
Being the first Community Manager here, I get to witness the start of the co-living space where we welcome the first guests to the next consecutively for 2 months.
The location wise is ideal as I enjoy walking, it takes 15-min walk to Hiri beach, 20-min walk to Blue Beach, 25-min walk to Dickwella beach, and 30-min walk to Kudawella beach. It is super convenient if you ride a scooter, where you can rent from the owner of the house. There are 2 local restaurants nearby where you can enjoy simple egg hopper + plain hopper breakfast (DK Bojun) and local food (Hungry Spot) for lunch or dinner - takeaway is available. If I would like to go to the nearest cafe, it will be a 15-min walk via a short cut going through the villages. Next to the house, there is a mini sundry shop where I get my biscuits. Opposite the street, we have another sundry shop where I get the traditional curd (meekiri), bananas, and vegetables.
The house is fairly new with 3 floors with a garden to chill, and a kitchen attached on the side. There are common areas to chill in each floors with the co-working space at the highest floor. The internet is upgraded to 5G connectivity equipped with its own backup supply. The neighbourhood locals were friendly and love to smile and greet us whenever we walk pass. We have 3 local hosts (AJ, RJ, Nadun) so we get to spend some time with each of them where they would recommend us good food, stories, and help us with the transportation when needed.
Staying here allow me to live + work + eat with the guests according to the weekly activities. My favourite group activity was the recent group scooter outing to 88km away with our host (AJ), guests, and local friends. I enjoy the times where we are able to mingle with local friends and friends around the world with more understanding about each others' culture and norms.
Thank you for the opportunity to live, work and co-create meaningful experiences here!
Cheers
I stayed here for a month and it was great!
Hiriketiya is a perfect place if you want to relax and live a simple, but comfortable life.
The house feels new and has everything you need. It is a bit outside the center but this also means that there are cheaper, local food options close by.
The hosts are extremely helpfull and will try to help you with whatever you ask. Help in transport, planning a safari trip, just to name a few :) They and their local friends are often at the house which I really liked as they know Sri Lanka the best and are also super warm-hearted, chill people!
Also, thank you so much Vic for being the best community manager and always taking care of everyone!!❤️
I will miss you all!
