Hiriketiya
A perfect horseshoe bay you'll want to keep secret.
Hiriketiya is a single, jungle-backed horseshoe of sand with mellow waves at the centre and a handful of very good places to eat around the rim. That's it, and that's the magic.
Nearby Dickwella adds a longer beach and a bit more life when you want it.

Day trips to Hummanaya blowhole and hidden beaches
Sri Lanka runs on two monsoons, so somewhere on the island is always in season.
The southwest (Yala) monsoon brings rain to the west and south roughly May to September, while the northeast (Maha) monsoon turns to the east and north around October to January. When you tell us your dates, we’ll time Hiriketiyato the window it’s at its best — and route the rest of your journey to the coast that’s in the dry.
Go before the crowd
Hiriketiya’s finest hour is the one before everyone else arrives. We’ll build your day around it with a local guide who knows exactly when to be where — so you get the quiet, unhurried version most visitors miss.
Who this place suits
Perfect for travellers who want one beautiful bay, a board under one arm and a book under the other.
