Dots Bay House

Located right by Hiriketiya beach in Dikwella, nestled in a quaint sandy bay, Dots Bay House offers different types of accommodation, a cafe-bar-restaurant with beautiful garden seating, a co-work space with free high speed internet, and last but not least a gorgeous hidden jungle pool. During the season there is no shortage of entertainment and nightlife at Dots, with our hostel night open mic sessions and weekend parties featuring some of the best local and international artists. Rooms include comfy beds, wardrobes and storage space and ensuite bathrooms with free toiletries as well as a hair dryer. All rooms include a fan and a seating area. A continental or à la carte breakfast is available daily at the property as well as fresh coffee as part of our B&B packages. The area we are located is popular for surfing, where we can help you out with rentals and lessons. We are also happy to organize car hire including airport transfer for you.

Dots first opened its doors in December of 2015, comprised of a single shipping container and five straightforward rooms. Dots was designed with the idea of providing something for everyone—and beyond that, introducing guests to entirely new experiences, as well as new faces. Focused on maintaining an open, relaxed atmosphere. We pride ourselves on being a locally-owned, sustainably-minded resort. We have set a community example by being the first plastic-free operation in the area, as well as serving organic and locally sourced food, and we continue to hold ourselves to a high standard of ecoconsciousness.

Sheltered from the rest of the coast, Hiriketiya is the hidden gem of Sri Lankas south coast. Known for its clean waves throughout the whole year, Hiri is the perfect spot for surfers of all levels. Even though Hirkiketiya is small bay it has a big variety of food options - from locally dishes to Burgers, Smoothie Bowls and freshly made Juices ! Hiriketiya is the perfect spot for going around on the south coast of Sri Lanka. Explore the country planning day trips. Visit the colonial city Galle, do a safari to one of the national parks or relax on one of the tropical beaches throughout the south coast .
