The completely renovated private beach house is an ideal base for families or groups of friends to explore the beautiful area which is perfect for diving, snorkeling, surfing, nature watching or enjoying the beach in the Sri Lankan sunshine.

The self-catered house sleeps 6, in 3 air-conditioned bedrooms.The Blue Peacock Beach House, one of the very few private houses on the beach in Hikkaduwa, is a TRUE beachfront property - with private swimming pool - superbly located right on a wide beach just south of the lively and popular Sri Lankan resort of Hikkaduwa. It is a self-catered house but on your request meals can be arranged.

The beach house is completely renovated and decorated to a high standard. We have used quality bed linen and towels to ensure your stay is comfortable. We provide beach towels to avoid heavy suitcases!

The Blue Peacock Beach House is a staffed property: Part time Property manager, housekeeping and no extra electricity charge in standard rental rate. * (see below). We also offer high-speed WIFI (see below)

Please Note: As Sri Lanka is developing country, the government can implement power cuts. This also affects Hikkaduwa and the Blue Peacock Beach House * (see below)

The Blue Peacock Beach House is a private - self catered – residence. If you want us to arrange meals for you, you pay for the groceries, local price which is normally low, and a small cooking fee. (Total price is strongly dependent on your personal wishes for ingredients e.g. fish, prawns, meat etc, how many meals you want and for how many persons). Typically cooking fee for breakfast will cost 2000 LKR up to 6 persons (approx. 6 USD) and cooking fee for Lunch or Dinner will be 3000 LKR up to 6 persons (approx. 9 USD).
The meals can be arranged with the staff once you arrived.

Our staff will do their best to make your stay as comfortable as possible. The manager can also arrange sightseeing and tours on request in our own luxury van (if available). Please note that this self-catered house is not staffed 24/7.

Rooms will be cleaned and beds made every day. Linens/Towels changed every 3 days.

There are 3 air-conditioned cosy bedrooms with ceiling fans. All rooms have extra long traditional Sri Lankan 4-poster beds with brand new matrasses and mosquito nets.
We have one double room and two twin rooms. On request one of the two twin beds van be made up as a double king size bedroom.
The double room has it’s own en-suite bathroom, consisting of both an indoor and outdoor shower area. The two twin rooms share the second bathroom.

There is a fully fitted kitchen including refrigerator with freezer, stove with oven, washing machine and all needed kitchen utensils.

A real gem is the superb big veranda (32 m2). Here you have a big outdoor living space with dining table and seating area including a perfect daybed, from where you can enjoy the famous Hikkaduwa sunsets. The veranda can be closed and used as a large living space.

In the large private garden (15 meters beachfront) you have your own beautiful private swimming pool (12x24 ft). The garden gives you direct ocean access and stunning views.

As we want to be as environmental friendly as possible, we have installed a Solar Heated Hot water system (200 L).

  • Generator: we have no standard generator at the moment in the Blue Peacock Beach House, but will do our utmost to supply you with one to run all electrical equipment, except the AC´s. (we managed up till now)

** WI-FI - We do have fast broadband Wi-Fi in the property. Unfortunately, it is not unlimited. Sri Lanka operates a system of download limits. Put simply, we have a monthly allowance of 90GB per month. The domestic allowance is more than enough for normal Internet use, checking emails, flights, news, etc. However, movie downloads and streaming sites will quickly eat up the allowance. If you need a higher quota, please ask the staff and they can raise the limits at your costs.

*** Normal electricity usage is covered in the rental price (up to 40 KWh / day). This is more than sufficient for normal usage. Unfortunately we have to charge excessive usage as electricity is scarce and by that very expensive in Sri Lanka. Every KWh over the daily 40 KWh will be charged with 200 LKR. At check-in and check-out the meter will be read. If there are additional costs they have to be settled before check-out.

Family from London, United Kingdom Dec 2019

A lovely comfortable house, well laid out, with a fantastic veranda to sit out of the sun, and sunbeds to sit around the pool. The garden is more spacious than appears in the photos, with an area of grass beside the pool which contributes to the very happy and relaxed "feel" of the property. Access straight on to a quieter stretch of beach, turn right and you are a ten minute walk from the beach restaurants and surf schools, turn right (earlier in the morning) and you are 15 minutes from the fishing harbour and fish market. At the back, turn left up the main road to a small supermarket and, just beyond on a side road, two fruit and veg shops. We hugely enjoyed cooking local food, but also had an amazing seafood barbecue cooked by Chandana the housekeeper. Chandana and his team were very helpful, dealt well and quickly with a problem with the water pump, and keeping the whole place spotless. We had a fantastic relaxing time and would love to come back!

Rentalsystems booking #306122 Family from Nice, France February 2016 Area very good for us, we didn't want to be in the middle of the surf spot, but only 10 minutes away walking on the beach. Very clean, Chamdana was here every day if we asked him to , to clean the house and help in anything. It is an expensive rental for the country, but compare to european price, good value and we were happy to have 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, the veranda and the garden for us. We can make bbq, breakfast. Mahinda arranged our transfer to Kandy just the night before, for good price. Thank you , we had very nice rest in the beach house.

Rentalsystems booking #304906 Family from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates January 2016 The Beach house was even better than we thought. The outdoor area just wonderful with grass right down to the beachfront. Lounges for relaxing and daybeds on the verandah... all with stunning views. It was hot so very grateful for airconditioners at night when sleeping. Swam each day (although could be very rough directly in front of house) then could shower outside, get all the sand off and then dry off with a book on the lounge. Chandana was wonderful and provided some fabulous meals on our verandah. easy to get tuk tuk to town and appreciated being a little way away from the main town. We thoroughly enjoyed our time here.

Rentalsystems booking #297684 Family from Sigulda, Latvia April 2015 Our stay in HIkkaduwa Beach house was outstanding. The house is located right on the beach with direct ocean access, a 5-minute walk along the beach to Hikkaduwa center, and a 30 minute drive to Galle. Comfortable stay for our family and friends. The facility is very clean and tastefully decorated. Spectacular sea views, large terrace overlooking the beach offers ample seating for meals or relaxing in either sun or shade. We fell asleep each night and awoke each morning to the sound of the waves rolling up onto the beach. Even better yet was the warm, Srilankian hospitality of manager Mahinda and house keeper Chanada. They took care to ensure that our every need was met, and served as expert guides to the local area and further. We were free to lunch or dine in any of the local restaurants, but we much preferred to stay in and enjoy the delicious meals they prepared for us, especially the fresh seafood excellently prepared Srilankian style by Chanada, on the terrace overlooking the water. Our stay at Hikkaduwa Beach house is among our most memorable vacations and we definitely hope to return.

Rentalsystems booking #293089 Family from Berkhamsted, United Kingdom February 2015 We had a fantastic 9 night stay at the beach house - absolutely fantastic location and one of the best holidays I've ever had. Nothing quite like relaxing in the garden and watching the sun go down with a cold beer!
