Coliving in Sri Lanka

Are you ready for an island poised to become Asia's next hotspot for digital nomads? Ahangama, located in the southern part of Sri Lanka, is 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. Situated beside the expansive Koggala Lake, home to eight charming little islands, Ahangama offers plenty of exploration opportunities.

​

In addition to its stunning natural beauty, Sri Lanka's Ahangama boasts a lively surf scene. With the warm tropical temperatures, there’s nothing quite like catching an early morning wave before starting your workday. We've teamed up with Nomads Colive to offer two stunning villa's and a workspace equipped with super-fast and reliable WiFi.

​

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.

Living in Ahangama - Sri Lanka

Ahangama is the ideal spot for those looking to blend surf and beach life with a vibrant nomad scene. The town is packed with bars and restaurants where you can catch open mic nights and live music. Don’t miss out on La Mana, a bar with its own skate ramp that features a cool DJ every Saturday!

​

Getting around town is a breeze with a TukTuk or scooter. Yep, you can even rent a TukTuk—and no worries, there's plenty of space at home to park it. You can get either at the reception of the coliving.

​

For a closer look at the scenic mangroves and unique islands, consider taking a boat trip. And make sure to check out the traditional stilt fishing along the beaches, an iconic sight and a tribute to Sri Lanka’s resilience post-tsunami.

Coworking - Coliving Sri Lanka

Coworking in Sri Lanka’s dreamy surf towns, Ahangama and Weligama, is as refreshing as your first coconut of the day. Imagine working with the gentle hum of the ocean in the background, a fresh sea breeze replacing your usual office air conditioning. These vibrant hubs are where productivity meets paradise. Whether you’re grinding through deadlines or brainstorming your next big idea, the vibe here is laid-back yet inspiring—like a well-brewed cup of Ceylon tea.

​

The coworking spots in Ahangama and Weligama often double as community spaces, making it easy to swap tips on WiFi hacks or surf techniques. Expect comfy desks, blazing-fast internet (most days), and even the occasional monkey swinging by to check on your progress. So, pack your laptop and flip-flops—because in Sri Lanka, you’re not just working remotely, you’re living the dream. And yes, post-work surf sessions are totally mandatory.

Get Ready For Your Trip | Coliving 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:

​

  • Visa (for Digital Nomads): Sri Lanka's digital nomad visa, introduced in 2021, is a game-changer. It lets you live and work there for a year without the hassle of constant renewals. However, navigating their online immigration portal might feel like an online treasure hunt – patience is key! If you're going for a shorter stint, a tourist visa allows a 30-day stay, extendable up to six months, but you'll need to juggle a bit of paperwork for that. Don't leave this till the last minute – nothing's more of a bummer than flight tickets you can’t use! Check out Freaking Nomads article on the requirements and eligibility of the Sri Lanka Digital Nomad Visa.

  • Health Precautions: 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.

  • Health insurance: Don't forget about healthcare. As a non-resident, you will definitely need private health insurance. Do your research and consider international insurance providers like Safetywing.

  • Local SIM Card: 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. 

  • Cultural Etiquette: 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!
