The People Behind the Places: Southern Sri Lanka's creative spaces

“Since I left, the once quiet town of Hiriketiya has transitioned from ‘Sri Lanka’s best kept secret’ to a popular, bustling beach town. An hour north, the colonial-style town of Ahangama is witnessing the same transformation: these coastal communities—with their consistent surf and rich, jungle surroundings—are (unsurprisingly) developing into destinations. Word is spreading, but among the generic surf hostels popping up along Sri Lanka’s southern coast, are three entirely unique, inspiring spaces which are facilitating creativity, community and connection in entirely individual ways. I visited the three couples behind the spaces sparking inspiration and facilitating creation in Sri Lanka’s Southern Province.” - Winnie Stubbs
