Yoga Retreats (Hiriketiya)
Hiriketiya, a small horseshoe bay east along the coast, has become a base for yoga retreats and slow stays. Most are residential, so you book a stay that includes classes rather than buying a single session.

How retreats work
In our research we found several yoga-focused stays in and around Hiriketiya, including The Salty, Jasper House, Salt House, and Dots Bay House. They are accommodation-led, with multi-night packages. One example we saw was priced at roughly $1,332 for five nights, so check current rates directly, since these change.
Choosing one
Look at the daily schedule, class style, group size, and what is included (meals, classes, airport transfer). Decide whether you want a full retreat or a stay with optional classes.
Who it suits
Anyone wanting a slower, restorative trip. It also pairs with surf, since the bay is a surf spot as well.
Practical tips
- Book early for the dry season.
- Read the cancellation terms, since packages are often non-refundable.
- Ask about the style and level of classes.
