We are so lucky to have this GEM in Sri Lanka which is affirmed itself as one of the top tourist destinations since the 1970s. Three hours from Colombo, Hikkaduwa beach is surely a little piece of heaven on Earth. Who wants to leave this piece? You will find it very hard to leave this place after setting your foot. Surf lovers? The stage is perfectly set for you where the waves sing according to the surf tunes. Plentiful surfing schools are there around the corner to cater your needs.

The shallow waters beside Hikkaduwa beach guard the Hikkaduwa National Park, a coral sanctuary which is a home to exotic fishes. Glass bottomed boats are accessible to keep your feet dry and explore the wonders deep.

You will be in awe of the colourful place during annual Hikkaduwa Beach Fest which falls in July-August for 5 days. There is no scarcity for entertainment as live music, Sri Lankan dancers, international DJ’s, kite festivals, kids’ corner, fireworks and much more joy at stake.

Closer to the city centre, the beach is narrower ending up with the city lagoon, where the waves are more pleasant for people who don’t like mammoth waves, also a place where you can sight quite big Sea turtles. Overall it’s the best place for ultimate relaxation.

On the hotel’s point of view, Hikka Tranz by Cinnamon is the town’s major talking point. Just a minute walk from the beach, the hotel offers spacious rooms with private balconies. It features an outdoor pool and dive centre as well. Extensive sea views are simply breath-taking to watch. The variety of International dishes adds extra spices to accommodate the multicultural requirements. The staffs are well known for the exquisite hospitality showcased which will certainly make your stay a memorable one.

One of the most romantic hotels in Srilanka with a slice of private beach to pool, the location is a perfect Sun trap to put up with your loved ones coupled with comfort and luxury where the attributes of the hotel itself stand tall.  It will be one heck of an experience beyond doubt. This hotel is all about the seduction of the soul, once you step in you don’t want to leave.

Hikkaduwa Lake, turtle farm, Tsunami photo museum, Moonstone mine are some of the other picks to explore. A popular time to visit falls from Dec-Apr where the rainfall is somewhat less. The destination is simply unique and a pleasing place for party travel group where the party never ends.
