There's always time in the day for a smoothie bowl. Especially if it's topped with that perfect-crunch granola, a heavy dousing of nut butter and the freshest seasonal fruit. Malu Poke's bowls, sandos and coffees never disappoint. 

Families, solo travellers, lovers and friends. Dots Bay House can be an idyllic retreat, a party house or a surfers paradise. We could start every day with the Dots Bay jungle yoga flow. 

A space which is quite literally amidst nature. Wake up amongst the treetops of Hiriketiya, pad barefoot to the shore and have your morning coffee surrounded by a curation of artworks from MOND's latest art residency. Now that's a stay worth having. 

An outdoor retreat, but make it luxury. Malabar Hill is easily one of the most stunning, eco-retreats out there. Located on a jungle-covered hill top, begin your day with laps in the infinity pool, soak up the sun on your roof terrace and dine on some of the finest Sri Lankan grub. The villas may be private but don't be surprised if you see a monkey, mongoose or Malabar hornbill making itself at home.
