We had an exceptional stay at sjæl, the staff was super kind and took really good care of us, the room was clean and spacious, and the “garden” was lovely! If you like it a bit more quiet, away from the crowded Hiriketiya beach, this is your go-to...

We had an amazing time here in this little paradise. Amazing location: only 7-10 mins to busy Hiriketiya Beach. Sjæl (kudawella bach) is much quieter for surfing and chilling, away from the crowds and busy roads. Rooms are beautifully decorated...

Amazing location with a fantastic surf school and direct beach access. Suitable for those new to surfing/beginners and not as crowded as Hiriketiya (only 10mins away by Tuk tuk). Super friendly and helpful staff who can arrange Tuk tuks if needed....

We are located on the beautiful and less busy Kudawella beach on a large nature sight. You get the best of the jungle and the beach - all in one place. We offer contemporary rooms for your stay, cafe/restaurant, yoga, option for surf lessons and a place to simply just be.
Our location is very private and completely in nature, but a short tuk tuk ride away, you have Dikwella that offeres supermarkets and a variety of local shops. It is buzzing with the local vibe.
