I couldn’t have picked a better place to stay in Hiriketiya. The hotel is brand new with spacious, comfortable rooms and a nice balcony. The rooftop terrace has amazing views and is the perfect spot for breakfast — make sure to try the traditional Sri Lankan dishes. In the evenings, grab a cocktail and enjoy the night sky from up there. The staff were always friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back.

Everything was PERFECT. Best stay in my time in Sri Lanka! I got injured while surfing so I just wanted a hotel where I could chill all day and this place was amazing. Super friendly staff, amazing rooms, super clean, delicious breakfast, drinks and dinner. I would’ve loved to stay longer!

Beautiful brand new rooms / modern, very spacious!! Great aircon, and fan and balcony. Staff were truely the highlight of this stay. They organised a bike to rent, the safari trio Yala and someone to take us to Ella. We loved that driver so much we used him for the rest of our trip! We also struggled to find a currency exchange in Sri Lanka, but they organised someone to come the hotel and rate was unbeatable. Anything we asked, they were SO happy to help and did it so quickly. They were so friendly and welcomed us so warmly every time we passed them coming in and out of the resort. Probably my fave place we stay because of the people who run it xx OH and Dickwella beach is right at the end of the drive way and beats Hiriketiya beach by a mile. So much better and much quieter to spend the day.

I had a great time staying at Lucky Monkey Inn & Restaurant. The room was very clean and comfortable, and the whole place has a really relaxed, welcoming vibe. Cooling down in the pool was always a highlight during the day. In the evenings, when the weather allowed, we enjoyed delicious dinners right by the beach with a beautiful ocean view — the best way to end the day. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made everything feel easy and comfortable. Perfect location near the beach and close to everything in Weligama. I would absolute

Enrico and his team were super helpful and organised a new room for us which was in mint condition! We also had a delicious breakfast and the location was perfect distance to Weligama, Ahangama and Mirissa. Were also very helpful and accomodating for us to leave our suitcase behind and checkout late so that we could squeeze in a quick last swim. Strongly recommend.

Absolutely the Best Way to Explore the Sinharaja Rainforest! This was our favourite place we stayed on Sri Lanka trip. This eco-lodge is hands down the ultimate way to experience the magic of the Sinharaja Rainforest. From the moment you arrive, it’s clear you’re in for something extraordinary. The location is beyond words—completely surrounded by lush rainforests, making you feel truly immersed in nature. It is so peaceful and quite - no noise from roads, traffic etc. The staff made our entire stay seamless and stress-free. They have a convenient car park in the nearby village, where they meet you and transfer you up to the lodge in a 4x4—what a fun start to the adventure! We stayed for two nights (but would have happily stayed a 3rd). The accommodation is spectacular. Large windows on every side of the room allow you to feel like you’re right in the heart of the jungle. Waking up to the incredible sounds of the rainforest was unforgettable, and we even spotted monkeys and exotic birds right in our room! Amazingly, you also get wifi in your room. The staff were outstanding, from the friendly restaurant team to the knowledgeable guides. On arrival, the Duty Manager, Mithun, warmly welcomed us, explained all the details about meal times, and helped us plan treks into the rainforest. They offer a variety of treks and provide you with a guide. They are also pretty flexible, We wanted a longer trek to explore more of the jungle and this wasn't a problem. The trek itself was a dream. We spotted an incredible variety of wildlife, including lizards, snakes, and a stunning array of Sri Lankan birds. The guides were so knowledgeable and enhanced the experience. Overall, this was incredible value for money. Running such a well-maintained eco-lodge in the middle of the rainforest can’t be easy, yet they make it feel effortless. If you’re looking for great value for money and an unforgettable way to explore Sinharaja, this is absolutely it.

Great for 2 days disconnecting, surrounded by nature. The open air cabanas and rooms are amazing, especially the open shower, I saw 2 toucans chilling on my shower. Pool is great and there is plenty of space for sunbathing there when tired of the beach. Option to join a yoga class (morning and evening) or have a treatment at the spa as add-ons. Breakfast was good (mostly sri Lankan curry but some sweet options too)

It was very easy to find things around, we got a scooter and rode around town. Surfing lessons are absolutely worth it, it was fun!

If you want to explore sinharaja, there are two options. you can go with a guide(may charge 5000). or you can get a safari jeep. but it only goes like 5KM in side the forest. and will charge 10000. we went both sinharaja and patna for 10000.if you explore singharaja. it takes full day. but if you get a safari. it takes like 3 hours, but you can't explore whole forest.

Pristine beaches and clean water! There are so many amazing restaurants and cafes in the area. I can only imagine how things are during the peak seasons! there are tuks and buses available which will get you to most places. and there is plenty to do that is a walkable distance away too! from turtle watching, snorkeling, or surfing (in season). Smoke and bitters is super closeby, as are a number of highly rated bars, cafes and restaurants.

Weligama is a surf hub with lots of trendy spots for food. There are hidden beaches and family restaurant eats too. It can be a bit hectic and it was a bit disappointing that swimming at the main beach was not appealing but we overall enjoyed the stay as a hub for accessing other beaches including coconut, jungle and Mirissa.
