TheEarthlinks
A quieter coast for retreat and reflection
Between lagoon water and the Indian Ocean, TheEarthlinks gives Hikkaduwa’s coast a quieter counterpoint to its busy surf-town center. This boutique retreat and training center sits on the southern edge of town, away from the main bustle but close enough to remain connected to the area. The waterside setting is the clearest part of its character: a coastal backdrop for retreat stays and training, with a calmer pace than central Hikkaduwa. The center’s public identity is not tied to a clearly named meditation school, so it makes sense to choose according to the focus of a particular retreat rather than expect one fixed format. Before planning a stay, ask about upcoming programs, their length, and what the daily rhythm involves. It is also worth confirming accommodation and what is included in the retreat fee directly with TheEarthlinks.
