Set along Sri Lanka’s sun-drenched south coast, the bay of Hiriketiya offers a picture-perfect blend of palm-lined beaches, gentle surf, yoga escapes and tranquil jungle backdrop. For travellers looking for a smooth, relaxed arrival and onward travel experience, the dedicated taxi service by Colombo Taxi Airport ensures your ride to Hiriketiya is comfortable, on time and stress-free.

Hiriketiya’s horseshoe-shaped bay gives it a friendly, welcoming atmosphere: ideal for beginner surfers, leisurely beach-goers and anyone seeking a quieter alternative to the busier resort towns. Alongside the sand and surf, you’ll find excellent yoga studios, chic cafés, beachfront eateries and inviting hammocks between palm trees — all adding up to the laid-back coastal escape many travellers crave.

What You Can Explore in and Around Hiriketiya

Start your stay by strolling along the beach, feeling the surf roll in and enjoying the warmth of the Indian Ocean. Surf lessons are plentiful here, with options suited for beginners and intermediate riders alike. After your surf session, take time to explore the cafés and local dining spots tucked away among the trees — the beach village atmosphere is relaxed but vibrant. One of the highlights is a yoga class overlooking the bay, a perfect way to ground yourself after travel.
