Company info

Dots first opened its doors in December of 2015, comprised of a single shipping container and five straightforward rooms. Dots was designed with the idea of providing something for everyone—and beyond that, introducing guests to entirely new experiences, as well as new faces. Focused on maintaining an open, relaxed atmosphere. We pride ourselves on being a locally-owned, sustainably-minded resort. We have set a community example by being the first plastic-free operation in the area, as well as serving organic and locally sourced food, and we continue to hold ourselves to a high standard of ecoconsciousness.

Property info

Located right by Hiriketiya beach in Dikwella, nestled in a quaint sandy bay, Dots Bay House offers different types of accommodation, a cafe-bar-restaurant with beautiful garden seating, a co-work space with free high speed internet, and last but not least a gorgeous hidden jungle pool.
