Homebase Hiriketiya is a Coliving in the South of Sri Lanka, only a 7-min walk away from the surf beach. Founded by Lisi, a digital nomad, and Lucky, a local surf instructor, you'll be in safe hands.

While Lucky will provide all the information you want about Sri Lankan culture, where to find the best rice and curry and valuable Buddhist learnings, Lisi will make sure you have everything you need for your remote work tasks.

Community

We want to build and strenghten the community. This goes for both the group of people that stays with us, as well as supporting the local community. We encourage our guests to do the same. If there is any skill you can offer for the community (eg. teaching English to locals or any other skill) we can organise events. We don't want to create another "White Bubble", we want to connect with locals and pay back for their friendlyness.

Respect

Be honest and respect other's boundaries and space. Sleep is important: Keep quiet from 10pm-7am. We treat our staff well and give them the flexibility and opportunities we’d like for ourselves.

Nature before Profit

We'll do our best to stay in touch with nature, trying to ditch single-use plastic and picking the more environmentally friendly option where possible.

Inclusivity

Everyone is included, no matter your background, skin colour, bank account number or employment status - but we don’t accept rude people. As long as you respect other guests, our staff or the locals, everyone is welcome.

Constant Learning and Growth

Learning, evolving and improving: We’ll always ask for feedback and accept it without trying to defend ourselves. For that, we need your feedback to be hone

Lucky

The best surf instructor in Hiriketiya. And that's not us saying that, check out his Google Reviews.

A licenced ISA Level 1 Instructor, born and bread in Sri Lanka. Lucky has the best local tips for you, a lot of wisdom and of course, he can teach you how to surf 🏄🏽‍♂️

Lisi

A freelance UX Designer and digital nomad.

After travelling full time for 3+ years, Lisi started to miss the feeling of "coming home". After meeting Lucky, she decided to build a base in Hiriketiya, a place to call home 🏡

Tharindu

The best manager we could dream of. He knows how to fix lights, is a mechanic, his English is great and he'll make sure you'll have everything you need during your stay.

Nilani

The one who makes sure the Homebase is spotless. Don't cry over spilled milk, Nilani will help out and looks after the cleanliness of the house.

Lumal & Dame

Our do-it-all handymen and a great team. Their English still is work in progress - just like the homebase, so please be aware of that and speak slowly and clearly.
