“Undoubtedly the top spot to stay in hip Hiriketiya, Sri Lanka’s latest southern surf haven. With a simple contemporary style, jungle-view yoga and pool-side cocktails beneath the palms, Salt has laid-back boutique bliss nailed.”

Hotel Review

Salt House invites visitors into a leafy, sandy-toed hideaway where mornings are for riding the waves — the bay is brilliant for beginners and seasoned surfers alike — afternoons sipping smoothies on the deck and evenings for savouring fresh seafood in the garden by candlelight. Hiriketiya itself is magical: a tiny surf cove bursting with ace places to eat and drink, all within seconds of the sea. The ideal accompaniment to Hiri’s friendly, feel-good vibe, Salt offers eight stylish rooms with tropical open-air bathrooms and private terraces set around a funky garden fit for fruit-filled breakfasts. Cool off in the pretty plunge pool, relax with some restorative yoga and peer at the monkeys swinging overhead as you sip your coffee. Top things off with a deep tissue massage and you’re golden.
