Where to Stay Near Hiriketiya — Our Peaceful Jungle Escape
Looking for a place to stay near Hiriketiya Beach that offers more than just a bed? Welcome to Into the Blue Sri Lanka — a peaceful, nature-immersed hideaway tucked between Hiriketiya and Tangalle, in a village called Unakuruwa where surf, yoga, and serenity come together.
Whether you're traveling solo, as a couple, or planning a retreat, our jungle sanctuary offers a slower rhythm of life — just minutes away from the buzz of Hiriketiya beach.
The Best of Both Worlds: Hiriketiya Energy, Jungle Peace
Hiriketiya Beach is one of Sri Lanka’s most beloved beach destinations — a horseshoe-shaped bay filled with surfboards, smoothie bowls, and a growing community of digital nomads and yoga lovers.
At Into the Blue, we’re just a 10-minute tuk-tuk ride or 15-minute bike ride away from Hiriketiya — close enough to enjoy it all, yet far enough to escape the crowds and noise.
Why Stay in the Jungle?
While many guesthouses sit right by the beach, Into the Blue offers a unique alternative: a true eco-lodge in Sri Lanka, surrounded by jungle.
Our space is rich with tropical flora and fauna — birds, butterflies, kingfishers, and even the occasional peacock. You wake up to the sounds of nature and can start your day with yoga in Sri Lanka before heading out for surf, sun, or simply rest.
Comfortable, Minimalist Rooms with Soul
Each of our rooms has been thoughtfully designed to blend simplicity with comfort:
Natural light, ceiling fans, and locally crafted decor
Private or shared options for every budget
Shared guest kitchen and open-air lounge spaces
Fast Wi-Fi for digital nomads (but we do encourage unplugging!)
Whether you're here for a surf retreat in Sri Lanka, a creative sabbatical, or a slow travel escape, our space helps you reset.
Daily Yoga, Open to All Levels
We host daily yoga classes in our jungle shala — open to all guests and walk-ins. Led by experienced teachers, classes vary between Hatha, Vinyasa, and Yin, and are suitable for all levels.
Yoga mats and props are available. Stick around after class for tea, nature, and slow mornings.
Beaches, Surf, and Secret Spots
We’re walking distance from:
Silent Beach – a quiet, postcard-perfect beach
Unakuruwa – a hidden gem surf spot just down the road
And a short ride away from Hiriketiya surf beach, Dikwella, and Tangalle
Need a surf lesson, scooter rental, or a local massage? Just ask — we’re happy to help.
