Belikatuwella, Nilwella
Boutique villas in a quiet neighbourhood about 800 m from Blue Beach Island: Soma 1, a tropical jungle villa with a private pool, and Soma 2, an ocean-view villa with three en-suite bedrooms – each sleeps up to six. A sister property of Dots Bay House, whose pool and events guests can use.
Hiriketiya–Nilwella
A pastel-pink boutique hotel with individually styled rooms, a pool with sunbeds and cabanas, and an all-day bar and restaurant – about 400 m from Hiriketiya Beach.
Dodampahala, above Hiriketiya Bay
A four-bedroom villa on the hillside above Hiriketiya Bay, run by Good Spirit.

It comes with a villa manager, a private chef and housekeeping, and has private access down to the beach.
