Yoga in Ahangama feels like everything else in Sri Lanka right now—it’s growing fast. More restaurants, more cafes, more coworking spaces… you can really tell the south coast is blowing up, especially all those little beach towns. Even just in the span of a year and a half, the change has been wild. When I…
Right now in 2025, I still think it’s the perfect time to visit Ahangama. It’s not quite as popular (or hectic) as Mirissa or Weligama, but it’s getting close—and that sweet in-between stage means new cafes, cocktail bars, and restaurants are opening all the time. I don’t know what it is, but from my experience,…
Hiriketiya Beach is hands down my favorite spot in Sri Lanka—no contest. I’ve spent well over three months in the country, trying to explore as much as possible, but somehow, Hiriketiya Sri Lanka is where I got stuck for over a month. I don’t know exactly what it was. Maybe it felt more secluded and…
As someone who’s an absolute sucker for a good breakfast and lunch spot, I naturally had to try just about every place in Arugam Bay that even remotely looked like it could serve a decent flat white and avocado toast. Turns out, Sri Lanka is an absolute dream when it comes to that. I figured…
Arugam Bay is Sri Lanka’s go-to surf town on the southeastern coast, a long-time favorite among backpackers and surfers chasing world-class waves. It’s one of those places where life slows down—days revolve around surfing, beach lounging, and the occasional party. Compared to Sri Lanka’s more touristy spots like Ahangama, Weligama, and Mirissa, Arugam Bay is…
Sri Lanka has been getting more and more popular over the last few years, and honestly, I think this year might be the biggest yet. Most people know it for the beach towns along Sri Lanka’s south coast, the amazing surf, and that laid-back vibe (which, to be fair, we love). But Sri Lanka is…
The little beach towns on Sri Lanka’s south coast are getting more and more popular—probably because Sri Lanka as a whole is blowing up as a travel destination. It’s definitely not a hidden gem (and never really was), especially with surfers and backpackers, but it feels like in the last few years, even more people…
Sri Lanka has been a popular travel destination for years, especially the beach towns on the south coast. These spots have always been a magnet for backpackers and surfers thanks to their laid-back vibe, great waves, and, of course, delicious food. Mirissa is kind of the OG beach town on the south coast—or at least,…
Right now, Mirissa is hands down the number one (or at least the most popular) beach and surf town in Sri Lanka. It’s a total hotspot for travelers, surfers, and backpackers—basically anyone looking for an amazing beach vacation. With more and more people discovering it, Mirissa is developing that classic beach town vibe, with amazing…
I used to hear people say that Sri Lanka is the new Bali, but for a long time, I just couldn’t agree. A few years ago, Sri Lanka still felt super authentic—more of a backpacker haven with quiet beach towns and great surf spots. Now, those beach towns are slowly transforming into little versions of…
