Host your retreat
Have an idea? Let us know.
Beyond company retreats, we host all kinds of small-group retreats. A yoga or wellness week, a fitness camp, a creative workshop, a founder house, or a friends’ trip with a bit of purpose. You bring the programme and the people. We give you the place and take the logistics off your hands. If you can picture it here, tell us below and we will come back to you shortly.
Before you book
The questions groups ask us.
Is there a minimum stay?
It depends on the season. In high season we have a minimum stay of three nights.
Do you offer weekly or monthly rates?
Yes. The nightly rate drops for longer stays, and booking with us directly is cheaper than the same room on Airbnb.
How do I pay?
Pick your dates and pay at checkout, by card or online. You can also pay by bank transfer, or on arrival.
What is your cancellation policy?
It depends on what you book. See our cancellations policy through this link.
Can I rent a scooter or a tuktuk?
Yes. A new electric scooter you charge for free at the villa, and a tuktuk for going further. Bring your international driving licence.
Is there parking?
Yes. Enough space for bikes, and also for a car or tuktuk.
Is Bakamuna a registered business?
Yes. Bakamuna Coliving Pvt Ltd is a registered company in Sri Lanka and works with trusted local partners.
What if my plans change?
We understand that plans can change. We have fair cancellation policies in place for both parties. If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out, we’re happy to think along with you.
Are meals included?
No, meals are not included in the stay. For retreats we can hire a chef for the occasion.
Is there air-conditioning and hot water?
Yes, air-conditioning in every room and hot water on every floor.
Is there a washing machine?
Yes, with a hot wash. There is a small fee to use it.
How do I get to Bakamuna from Colombo airport?
It is about a three-hour drive. We arrange a private transfer, around $70, so you are picked up and brought straight to the villa.
How far are the beach and the town?
Hiriketiya beach is a 10 to 15 minute walk through the village. Dikwella town, with a supermarket, pharmacy, ATM and gym, is a five-minute drive.
When is the best time to visit Hiriketiya?
December to March is the dry, busy season, with the best surf and higher prices, so book ahead. May to October is quieter and the best value for a long stay.
Is Sri Lanka safe?
Sri Lanka is generally very safe for travelers. As anywhere, we recommend using common sense and respecting local customs. We’ll guide you on this before your stay.
