Happy Hammocks, Hiriketiya Beach - Sri Lanka

PLEASE READ OUR DESCRIPTION BELOW!!!
All our dorms are air-conditioned with a corresponding bathroom. It is ensuite for all of the dorms except for one where it is outside. If you are staying elsewhere or are not able to find room with us, you are more than welcome to still join us for our daily activities. We are a social but not a party hostel with an inclusive environment, an intimate outdoor communal area with a pool table and a mini cafe (opening soon!). You may give us a pass if you prioritize modern facilities in a stay over a friendly, social atmosphere. That being said, Welcome to Happy Hammocks, where beach vibes meet modern comfort! Our hostel is the perfect blend of sociable atmosphere and cozy, clean spaces. We're set at a leisurely 10-minute walk from both the beaches and you’ll find tranquility here with fewer crowds and a pet dog who loves making new friends.

We can also help you with scooter rentals, surf lessons, taxis, safari and all kinds of tours and excursions at a cheaper price than if you try and find yourself. Please reach out to the reception for the details.

Why Stay with Us?
- A Social Hub: Our hostel is all about the community vibe and is rated highly because of the friendly, welcoming atmosphere we’ve built. We organize daily activities like beach volleyball, sunset sessions, open mic nights and pool tournaments. Plus, our family dinners are legendary, and we are always up for pre-drinks on the party nights
- Well-Equipped Rooms: Our dorms are designed with convenience in mind. Each bed comes with blackout curtains, international sockets, reading lights, and there’s strong, free Wi-Fi throughout the hostel to keep you connected.
- Comfort & Cleanliness: While we try and keep things spotless and have recently updated our facilities with new washrooms and dehumidifiers, it’s our strong sense of community and sync with the laid-back island life that keeps guests coming back – not the amenities.
- Wellness activities: Join us for our breathwork sessions at a serene secret spot or the revitalizing ice baths. Whether you’re looking for action or relaxation, we’ve got both.
- Open Kitchen: Hungry and on a budget? Cook up your own meal or join in with your new friends in our well-equipped kitchen. It’s all about good food and even better company.

What Else? We’re not just about the hostel life. We also run unique initiatives like feeding local street dogs, helping the underprivileged and beach cleanups. You can get more details at the hostel if you want to contribute to our community efforts.

Happy Hammocks brings a mix of fun, relaxation, and unforgettable experiences – a space where you come as a guest but leave as happy family. The good vibes are real, and the memories last.

P.S. If you arrive early, you can relax in the common area until your room is ready and a common washroom with shower you can use before check in.
