The old fishing village of Hikkaduwa is located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka and is a fantastic travel destination, because the beautiful coast and the crystal-clear sea are just begging for long days on the beach. And the best thing is: Hikkaduwa is still an insider tip among the places in Sri Lanka and so you can enjoy beach days here without the annoying mass tourism!
Once there, take time to explore the liveliest areas, cafés, viewpoints and main landmarks, then shape your days around culture, food and downtime. Hikkaduwa works well for a couple’s escape, a trip with friends or a slower solo stay.
