Boutique hotels in Hikkaduwa

Hikkaduwa is a classic Sri Lankan beach town with a coral reef, turtles and surf breaks, plus a lively strip of cafes. It is busier than other south coast spots but has a few well-run small hotels.

Where to stay

Choose a hotel on the quieter southern end of the beach for calmer sea.

Good to know

The best months are November to April. Snorkeling at the reef is best in the morning.
