Lovely boutique hotel around 15 minutes drive from Hiriketiya. Staff were really friendly, the room was clean and practical (although we would appreciate more storage space). Very quiet away from the main road so you won’t hear cars beeping

Beautiful property, very clean, great vibes. Quite remote but close to a beautiful wild beach. We loved the food.
A few things to improve, they ran out of water while I was in the shower and wifi was not great.
Also note: you need to book the morning yoga.
