In our opinion, Hikkaduwa is the best beach town in Sri Lanka. And that's saying something, because Sri Lanka has many incredible beach towns! When we think about the best beach towns in Sri Lanka, we think about the best accommodations, best restaurants, best night life, best beaches, and we want a town with lots to do! Hikkaduwa has all of these things, and the laid back vibe is the cherry on top.
In this video we take you to some of our favourite spots in Hikkaduwa including Hikkaduwa beach, Sea Salt Society, the place to see wild sea turtles, and the best accommodation in Sri Lanka, Banana Leaf. One of the reasons we love Hikkaduwa so much is because that's where the Banana Leaf apartments are, and they are our favourite place in Sri Lanka to relax and make ourselves at home. If you want to check them out yourself, you can book your apartment at: www.airbnb.ca/users/show/1570...
Our dear friend and host at Banana Leaf, Amila, cooked us the most incredible Sri Lankan feast so we could share with you all what a home cooked Sri Lankan meal looks like! Sri Lankan food is some of our favourite in the whole world, and Amila's cooking is AMAZING! We are so spoiled to have the opportunity to eat Sri Lankan food with a local who has grown up cooking these incredible dishes.
We hope this video convinces you that Hikkaduwa is the best beach town in Sri Lanka! It is definitely one of our favourite places in the whole country and think you will agree that it is one of the best tourist destinations in Sri Lanka. We have lots more Sri Lanka vlogs in the works because we are on a road trip around the whole country, so please hit subscribe to follow along on the incredible adventure!

@nicoleandmico
@nicoleandmico Год назад
Oh good! We're so glad to show you how amazing Sri Lanka is 😊 We just enjoyed the pool, read lots of books, worked out, and cooked delicious food during lockdown! We weren't allowed to leave the property except to get groceries, so we were so thankful to be at Banana Leaf where we had a beautiful outdoor space and apartment. I think we would have gone a bit mad if we'd been stuck at a normal hotel!

@nicoleandmico

Hi there! Sri Lanka is a great place to visit right now. The hotels are open, restaurants are open, and all the tourist sites are open. As tourists we are able to access as much petrol as you need because the country really needs tourism. It would be a great choice to go soon 😊

Around 100 USD a day minimum for 2, 40$ for 3 decent meals, 30$ , 20$ for gasoline, fuel or petrol in sri lankan way (if you get a scooter) 10$ just to make someone's day (optional) coz sri lanka is the most generous country in South Asia and 8th place in the world .
@nicoleandmico
@nicoleandmico Год назад
Sri Lanka is very friendly to those on a backpacker budget like we are! We were spending no more than 80 USD per day for two people including food, accommodation and transportation. Expect to pay a little more if you prefer more meals out than cooking on your own. Enjoy your trip!
