The Digital Nomad's Guide to Working from Hiriketiya

If you're a remote worker looking for the perfect blend of productivity and adventure, Hiriketiya might just be your dream destination.

 

At Ohana, we've designed our coworking space with digital nomads in mind. On the first floor, you'll find a shared workspace equipped with desks, ergonomic chairs, and fast fiber internet. It's a quiet, focused environment during the day that transforms into a communal living room in the evenings.

 

The daily rhythm here is something special. Many of our guests start the day with an early morning surf session, grab breakfast at one of the local cafes, and then settle into work by mid-morning. By late afternoon, it's back to the beach for a sunset session.

 

Sri Lanka's time zone (GMT+5:30) works well for collaborating with European teams in the morning and Asian teams in the afternoon. And with the cost of living significantly lower than most Western countries, your remote work budget stretches much further here.

 

Beyond work and surf, the community aspect is what truly sets Ohana apart. Our biweekly family dinners bring everyone together over Sri Lankan rice and curry, and the shared spaces naturally foster connections with fellow travelers, surfers, and remote workers from around the world.
