About

Shaka Bay is a cosy 2 bedroom villa in Dikwella, Hiriketiya Sri Lanka.

Hiriketiya is a magical bay situated in the South of Sri lanka in Dikwella. The bay is the perfect place for surfing and swimming in the gentle waves and just enjoying days on the coconut palm fringed beach. Board rentals are available on the beachfront so that you everyone can get in the water to enjoy.

 

Shaka Bay is situated 250 meters from the waters edge , its only just a minutes walk.

Our property is a renovated sri lankan home that came to life by following in the footsteps of our popular Shaka House up the road. Shaka House came alive by wanting to make a holiday home for our family and other like minded adventurers to enjoy the luxuries and  pleasures of home yet set in an exotic far away land. 

Shaka Bay has 2 Bedrooms with king size beds , a shared bathroom,  air conditioners and fans.

Its a touch more  luxurious than rustic and has the comforts of a sparkling clean home, fresh linen and furnishings and a cool escape from the hot sunny days at the beach . Our serviced  home has a cute kitchen with Fridge , Kettle toaster , water dispenser , cutlery and crockery .

 

Shaka Bay has a patio / porch on both side of the house . The front patio/ verandah has an outdoor  dining table to relax overlooking the tropical garden and Hiriketiya Road where you can watch the world go by as you see everyone walking to the beach with their surfboards or driving by on scooters and Tuk tugs.

There is a garden in the back to chill in or for kids to frolic and play.  Birds , peacocks and squirrels are your every day wildlife at Shaka Bay . The sounds of the birds and the smells of the foliage are enchanting. Our garden has a coffee bean tree, an avocado Tree , a curry leaf bush and a chili bush .

 

Our little kitchen allows you to cater for your dining in needs but because of the location of Shaka Bay you are close to the best restaurants in town , all accessible on foot .
