Hiriketiya Beach
So nice to have travelled after the last night at Athgira River Camp, and to see, hear and smell the sea… and then to open our room's curtains to this view from our balcony. Surely one of the best located properties in Hiri.
However, like the river camp, don't be deceived by the picture!
Those tables and chairs in front belong to a bar and while the reggae during the day was welcome, the banging dance music and heavy bass until the small hours wasn't. And this was virtually out of season with pretty much no guests or customers.
Sad to say, but for this reason it's probably best avoiding staying on or near the beach. Our property had a site site just up the hill behind us (Serene Villa Hiriketiya) where we'd go for breakfast, and also outstanding Ayurvedic massages and, given the chance to return, this is where we'd stay. Way more chill and not disturbed by the noise.
