Hiriketiya Belikatuwella  |  Sri Lanka

A home inspired by the slow rhythm of the island

Nestled between Hiriketiya Beach and Blue Beach Island, Balamu is a perfect gateway for those who appreciate a moment of quietness, but still want to stay close to all that Hiriketiya Bay has to offer.

Balamu is built on the belief that a place can be both simple and deeply restorative. Here, the days slow down, the light softens, and the island sets the pace — a space where you arrive as a guest and leave feeling at home.

The Location

In between
two beaches

Balamu sits almost right in between our two favourite beaches: Blue Beach and Hiriketiya Beach. It is around 7min walk to Blue Beach, following the shortcut path that goes right next to Balamu and around 7–10min walk to Hiriketiya Beach with ocean and jungle views on the way. If you prefer to take a tuk tuk or drive a scooter to Hiri Beach, it's just around a 3min ride.

"An absolute gem! The place is beautifully designed with a very helpful host who truly cares about her guests. The location is peaceful but still close to all the action, and the balcony view is just breathtaking. I couldn't find a single negative thing to say – I only wish I could have stayed longer!"
Tatiana
"I stayed there for almost a month and had the chance to experience two different rooms during my stay. Both were incredibly comfortable and beautifully designed, with a real attention to detail. One thing that truly stood out was the scent… the moment you walk into the room, there's a signature fragrance that feels absolutely magical. It instantly makes you feel calm and at home."
Ghita
"We loved our stay here so much. The location was perfect — only a short walk from the main part of Hiriketiya and other beautiful beaches. The rooms are super clean and comfortable and have amazing views from the balcony and rooftop. Will definitely be back!"
Liz
"Absolutely dreamy stay at Balamu! So beautifully and thoughtfully designed, the room was perfect — I loved the raised bed and opening the doors to palms and birdsong. Both hosts couldn't have been more hospitable and welcoming. It was really a home from home."
Trinity
"This is far more than just an accommodation. The place is beautifully designed with great attention to detail, and the hosts are exceptionally kind and welcoming. Everything about the stay felt thoughtful and special."
Ayelen
"Wow! Most luxury place to stay in Hiri. The owners put so much care and love into every detail of this villa and you can really feel it! Beautiful sea views, absolute must stay!"
Gabriella
"I had a wonderful one-week stay at Balamu and honestly could have stayed for three weeks. The room was lovely and the common areas were really nice places to relax. The rooftop was a perfect spot to enjoy the sunset."
