For a wallet-friendly southern coast experience choose none other than Dot’s Bay House, Hiriketiya. With chilled out Bohemian vibes, private garden, yoga sala, restaurant, surf shop and just five rooms you are sure to feel a whole new person after just a few days. Rooms start from around £41 per night for a double room. Hiriketiya is close to Tangalle Lagoon and Matara Bay which are both well worth a visit. 

If a mid-price range break is what you’re after then we suggest Fisherman’s Bay. Exactly as the name suggests this four star hotels sits right in the secluded bay overlooking the sea with undisturbed views. Watch the sunrise as local boats come ashore from a night of fishing or walk down the rocks to the private beach that leads on to the pristine and untouched sand. Sip a pineapple juice on the balcony as you melt your troubles away. Rooms at Fisherman’s Bay start from just £70 for a double room.
