Coliving and Coworking by the Surf
Welcome to Homebase Hiriketiya.

After traveling for 3+ years, I really wanted to find a home base. And then I met Lucky, a local surf instructor in Hiriketiya.

Together, we founded Homebase Hiriketiya. The building is a 2-storey Sri Lankan-style house with 3 shared kitchens, a coworking space, and 7 bedrooms - only a 7-minute walk away from the surf beach 🏄🏻‍♀️

We have many bars and restaurants within walking distance, but if you want to explore more of Hiriketiya and its surroundings, just contact us for a motorbike rental. Book today to wake up to a wonderful surf, enjoy colorful smoothie bowls before starting your work day with high-speed wifi, and relax with a coconut for sunset in the Homebase Hiriketiya.

Our remote working community

At the Homebase, you'll quickly connect with our staff and other residents.
As most Nomads know: Food is where you get people together! So we host bi-weekly dinners and weekly breakfasts.

You'll also bump into fellow colivers when working at the coworking upstairs or while prepping your breakfast in one of our shared kitchens.

When staying with us, you can contribute with your cooking skills and learn how to dish up an authentic Sri Lankan Rice and Curry.

We also have a Whatsapp group for our residents (to prepare you for announced power cuts and get numbers for events) and those who want to stay connected can join the Alumni Whatsapp group.

We're also welcoming guests who want to host their own events and group trips.

Our Coworking Space

Yes, we have fiber internet 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

Join our fellow colivers at the coworking upstairs. We have 4 desk spaces and more desks coming soon. If you're someone who enjoys working while lounging, you can chill at our sofa (pending carpentry work, but the cushions are waiting for you) or chill in our cement box.

Please note: This is a coliving in Sri Lanka. There are things we cannot control, like unplanned power cuts or monkeys biting through the wifi cable. But don't sweat, we will do what we can to get you back online! You can work efficiently upstairs at the coworking, where our Router is. If you need more focus time on your own, feel free to work from the garden or your room.

Currently, we don't have a backup generator in case of electricity outages. But we're soon getting batteries to at least keep the router going and if bad gets worse, there are coffee shops within walking distance or you can use our hot spots.

How to get here

When you arrive at Colombo Airport, you can book a car to come to Hiriketiya or contact us for a pick up. You can also catch a train to Martara and get a car or tuk tuk from there. The local taxi app is 'PickMe' but be aware that drivers tend to cancel last minute.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get to your property?

You can take the train to Martara or Wewurukannala and take a Tuk Tuk from there. If they don't know about the Homebase, most drivers know about Garlic Cafe near to ours.

Do you offer Airport Pickup?
