About this coliving home
A 7-minute walk from Hiriketiya Beach Bay, you'll find your perfect home base for digital nomads and remote workers. We are a 2-story house with 6 rooms, 3 of which are AC rooms with ensuite bathrooms. Our fiber internet ensures that you can work hassle-free. Founded by Lisi (a freelance UX designer and digital nomad) and Lucky (a local surf instructor), you'll have peace of mind that you'll find the perfect balance of working and exploring. Hiriketiya Beach offers some of the best waves. If you're new to surfing, Lucky is a certified instructor who will teach you to stand on your board in no time. We can't wait to welcome you home! To set expectations: We've only just launched and are planning to install a generator. Until then, there are occasional power cuts in Sri Lanka. Please be aware of this when booking your stay. We will do our best to accommodate you and will give you a heads-up when we hear about planned power cuts from the electricity board.

Neighborhood
Near the residence, you'll find many local and Western-style restaurants and brunch places within walking distance. Closer to the beach, you'll find more food options, surfboard rentals, and more. There's a small corner shop just a hop away from the co-living space, and the beach is only 7 minutes away. The yoga shala is coming soon (planned for Q1 2025), and if there's anything a little further that you want to explore, we will arrange a motorbike rental for you.
