Hidden Well Hiriketiya, hotel in Hiriketiya

Located on the beachfront in Hiriketiya and featuring a garden, Hidden Well Hiriketiya has free WiFi throughout the property.

I loved this place, I booked one night and ended up staying 5 days! The town itself is lovely, and I had a great stay at this hostel: it is a bit hippie, but clean, a nice walk distance from the main beach, everyone was friendly, and it was so nice to be surrounded by nature. The owners are kind and welcoming, they arranged my laundry for a fair price, and you can prebook great breakfast that they prepare for 1000 rupees

    Great location. This is a very basic, very budget cabana but it was all peace and quiet. I could hear the sea. The tree top cabanas looked good and probably less mozzies up there.

    Turtle Paradise was in an amazing location beside Rekawa turtle beach. It had the friendly atmosphere of a hostel, but also had private rooms with super comfortable king sized beds and en suite bathroom. We ate at the hotel both nights, dinner cooked by the lady of the family. Very delicious and cheap. Her son drove us to our next stop. Altogether, incredibly helpful and so lovely sitting in the dining room/ living room playing board games and chatting with other travellers. Would highly recommend.

    All rooms offer unobstructed view of the beach. While the whole beach seems unsafe for swimming (big waves), it is still very beautiful and although there are some hotels around, it seems rather remote. It is a great location for long walks on the beach. It is very close to the bird sanctuary (definitely worth a guided tour!). The staff was very welcoming anf tried to make our stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible.

    Great location is the main pro about this hostel. There is a few meters to the ocean. You hear a sound of ocean in your room. It's amazing. And there is a free sun beds on the beach. It was really comfortable. We had a good terrace there is an astonished view on the ocean. We were there 4 days and during these days there were two parties (music, cocktails, good vibes). The parties were finished after 00.00.

    The hostel is directly at the beach, all the beds have a mosquito net and a plugger. There is also a area with hammocks to chill and a bar downstairs. A very nice and cheap place to stay.
