Gaia Soul is a family run guesthouse in Kaluketiya, a fishing village on Sri Lanka's Southern Coast. Being off the beaten path (but close enough to bustling Dikwella to make it accessible), we offer a more laid back, authentic experience with ample opportunities to relax, reconnect or focus, as need be. With a plunge pool and an outdoor shower to cool off in after skating the half-pipe, or surfing the point break just a minute's walk away, it's the perfect combo for a surf & skate retreat. The space Gaia Soul is a little slice of tropical paradise tastefully served up in a minimalistic style. Rooms feature balconies with hammocks and views of the Indian Ocean. Bathrooms are open air while bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged with electrical outlets and lights just where you need them (by the bed, of course) and a dedicated workspace. With a fully equipped communal kitchen, dining and lounge area, Gaia Soul is an ideal place to self-cater, or, if you’d like a taste of the local cuisine, our neighbour Pradeepa will gladly prepare delicious home cooked Sri Lankan meals for you (breakfast, lunch and dinner options available). At Gaia Soul, community and sustainability come together in harmony. Join us as we welcome local Sri Lankan skateboarders for thrilling skate sessions on our custom halfpipe, blending adrenaline and culture in a unique way. Our commitment to environmental stewardship shines through in our plastic recycling program, empowering our village to embrace eco-conscious practices and reduce waste. We're not just about our walls—we're about uplifting our community. In partnership with Ani Villas, we're revamping the playground at the local Montessori school, creating a vibrant space where children can learn and play freely. Join us for Sober Sunday Sunset every Sunday at 6 pm. We host open 12 Step Meetings for those beginning or maintaining their sobriety. Enjoy a time of reflection, sharing, and support in a peaceful setting. All are welcome. Come stay with us at Gaia Soul, where every visit supports a world of positive change. Guest access In addition to their rooms on the first floor, guests have access to ground floor and garden area which features the half pipe, plunge pool and outdoor shower.
