By day, snorkelers and divers explore Hikkaduwa Coral Sanctuary, where colourful reefs teem with fish and the occasional sea turtle glides by.

On shore, beachfront cafes serve fresh seafood and tropical cocktails as reggae or house beats drift in the breeze.

As the sun sets, Hikka transforms. Expect fire shows, DJ nights and beach parties under the stars. But there’s more beneath the buzz, explore local craft shops, Buddhist temples or take a tuk tuk inland to cinnamon plantations and paddy fields.
