Why coliving in Sri Lanka?

Are you ready for an island poised to become Asia's next hotspot for digital nomads? Ahangama, Weligama and Hiriketiya located in the southern part of Sri Lanka, are quickly gaining traction as a prime destination. Each year, its selection of quaint bars and restaurants continues to grow, making it a vibrant place to be. It's a 25km stretch from Ahangama to Hiriketiya, seeing incredible nature on the way.

Stunning nature & friendly

In addition to the stunning natural beauty, south Sri Lanka's boasts a lively surf scene. With the warm tropical temperatures, there’s nothing quite like catching an early morning wave before starting your workday.

Expect to be embraced by the laid-back and friendly vibes of the Sinhalese culture. Locals are excited to see visitors in their town, appreciating the support for their community and businesses. From your cozy home next to the lake, you'll have a beautiful base from which to plan your adventures with our community manager to fully explore the area.

Visa for digital nomads in Sri Lanka

Although discussions are underway for a digital nomad visa in Sri Lanka, it hasn’t been officially launched yet. Once it’s confirmed, you’ll see it here first!

Health insurance

The CDC and WHO recommend several vaccines for Sri Lanka, like hepatitis A and typhoid. Also, don’t forget to stock up on mosquito repellent; dengue isn’t on your bucket list! Pro tip: local pharmacies are well-stocked but might not carry your specific brand, so bring essential meds.

Living in Sri Lanka

Setting up for your digital nomad adventure in Sri Lanka involves more than packing your laptop and swimwear. Let's dive into the logistics, covering the essentials you need to sort out before jetting off. Here's your pre-departure checklist to make sure your adventure is smooth sailing:

Local simcard

Stay connected! Once you land, grab a local SIM card for reliable internet and calls. Providers like Dialog and Mobitel are popular choices. This isn’t just for Instagramming your adventures – having a local number can be a lifesaver for bookings and emergencies.

Culture

Sri Lankans are super friendly, but respecting local customs is key. For example, it's polite to refuse the first offer of tea or food (they’ll insist, don’t worry). And remember, head nodding here might not mean what you think – it’s a local quirk!

Remember, preparation is key, but so is flexibility. Coliving in Sri Lanka is full of surprises, so embrace the unexpected with a smile!
