Customer Reviews
What They’re Talking About Massage Shed
Kasi gave the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had.Very skilled and knows how to adjust to the right amount of pressure. I walked away gleaming, and ready for another before I leave this beautiful sea side town. Highly recommend Kasi.
I had a massage with Harsha and he was amazing! Very professional and friendly and he did a great job of getting all of the knots out of my back. Highly recommend!
Amazing massage! Perfect balance between relaxing ánd hitting the right spots. Felt amazing after and the whole vibe is just so relaxed to. Go here 🙂
Came here for post surf and chronic neck and shoulder tension relief and Harsha the masseuse did such an incredible job that I came back twice!
Had a fabulous deep tissue massage in a lovely relaxing setting, with an experienced and professional masseuse - I only wish I could bring the Massage Shed back home with me as I don’t think I’ll find a better massage anywhere else!
Had a great deep tissue massage from Kassi - really professional and worked out my knots. The place is very cute as well.
A cute little massage place off the road. Dana gave me a beautiful massage, both relaxing and therapeutic.
I got the Revitalize (deep tissue) massage and it was the best I’ve had in years. Crissy has the strongest fingers I’ve seen, she truly does magic!!! Incredible attention, ambiental music and quality service at excellent value.
I just came out of having a full body massage with Dana and I am very very grateful. It's wonderful. The place is incredible, the table is very very comfortable (I have had many massages, both in Spain and in Asia, and the truth is that the place is great, if you could hear the sea it would be 200/100).As for Dana, she is very professional and has a very pure and beautiful energy. For me it has been a gift to the soul and a journey inward. I have observed blockages in my body that I didn't know were there and she has also, with a lot of love and knowledge, released them. I really recommend the place and especially with Dana, I will definitely be back next week with her. Thank you so much!
A good and invigorating massage with friendly and professional masseuse.Recommended!😍💪🏼
Exceptionally well prices and skilled massage. I recommend asking for Dana if she is available!
I came in twice for the Surf Zen. It was the best massage ever, all my knots are fully gone! Great value for money as well, I’d highly recommend coming here ☺️.
Just had a massage there this morning with Dana, wonderful experience for the ayurveda one! Really nice and clean place, I totally recommend.
Truly recommend the massage here! I got the 90 min Ayurveda massage and it was so relaxing.
The most amazing massages I ever had from Dana and Indy ❤️🙏🏻 I’ve been having some trouble with my shoulder for over a year and since the massage it’s gone! (And now 2 months later it’s still gone!) Thank you so much and I wish the massage shed was closer to home. Can’t wait to visit again soon! Love, Rachel
Had a really great full body massage by Dana. Whole place is very sweet and professional, massage was very relaxing after a long day on the beach. Thank you 🙏
The best massage I’ve ever had in my life…honestly! I got a 90 mins full body massage from Dana, she was amazing! She was aware what my body requires, which was sometimes different on the two sides. The environment is beautiful, putting me into a fully relaxed mood! Everybody is super friendly with a kind, family background story of the owner, Indi. Thanks for the lovely experience!✨
Amazing 90-minute Ayurvedic massage with Harsha! I had a truly wonderful, timeless experience and left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed. The atmosphere is simple and soothing, and the staff is incredibly kind. Harsha is fantastic – he adjusts the pressure perfectly to your body’s needs and tension points. Thank you so much!
Absolutely fantastic. Great stuff, it’s clean, well-organized. 100% recommended. I didn’t plan to come but just walking by the place called me! I had a deep tissue massage from a man, and I was a bit afraid but the place gave me confidence and I am happy with my choice!
My partner and I had a truly fantastic experience here. We booked the deep tissue massage and were both impressed by the perfect intensity and technique. It was exactly what we needed to relax and unwind. Absolutely recommend this place – keep up the great work!
There’s a reason these guys are the best rated in Hiriketiya!! I love a very firm- hard massage and my masseuse understood the assignment. Hit all the right spots in the shoulder blades, delts, back and glutes.My friend got an Ayurvedic massage at the same time and loved hers too. We’ll both be back!!
We got a recommendation from a friend and were able to easily make an appointment for the next day via WhatsApp. I decided on a deep tissue massage and was very satisfied. Decent pressure exactly on the trigger points. Clear recommendation!
I had the most amazing massage at the Massage Shed Hiriketiya. I was floating afterwards and was only upset I found out about it towards the end of my trip (or else I would’ve been several times!). Thank you to the team.
The most beautiful massage in a beautiful location. I had Dana as my masseuse and she was an absolute master of getting into every muscle and being very thorough to check if the pressure was ok! I had the upper body massage and left feeling so fresh and relaxed. Thank you!!!
I really loved my massage! It was by a male masseur and he really hit the right spots. Definitely can recommend
One of the massages I’ve had, I felt so relaxed and would highly recommend!
I have a lot of experience with masseurs and the deep tissue massage by a male masseur was one of the best massages I have ever had! I had never actually been massaged by a man before but it was fantastic!
One of the best massages I've had! Good techniques, use of trigger points and I felt that my back felt more flexible during the massage.
Wonderful experience in gloriously warm airy set up, felt fantastic and would recommend 90 min session, especially if you've been surfing.Siesta and swim after 👌
The massage was incredible! If you're considering getting a massage in Hiriketiya, this is the place to go! 10/10 I absolutely loved it.
Best massage I’ve had in Sri Lanka by far. Great service and price. It’s a shame I can’t go again. Danni was also brilliant
Every time I come to Hiriketiya, I begin and end my stay with a massage from Dana. It has become a ritual. She is absolutely incredible. With her, time stands still. Her touch is precise, deep, and soothing. I leave each session feeling weightless. If you’re in the area, don’t hesitate for a second to go see her. A truly magical experience.
Amazing 90-minute massage and great value. The masseuse uses just the right amount of pressure. I’ve been two days in a row and felt like I was floating afterwards.
I had an incredible 90 minute full body massage with Hars (?). I have never experienced such a soothing treatment before - every tension was specifically relieved and I felt completely relaxed afterwards. A massage studio that I can highly recommend and would definitely visit again.
This is the best massages of Sri Lanka and probably of the entire world. Almost 2 years ago, I had here the best massages of my life. By then, this place was a small hut with only 2 beds. I passed by with the bike and fate brought me to Rishi’s hands. She fixed my body and during all this time I had remembered her and recommended this place to anyone who came to Hiri. Today it was my turn to come back. I cried after the massage, not only for having the best experience ever but also for seeing how much the business have grown and what their were able to build. They deserve it!!! they are an example of how things make with love, purpose and professionalism will always find a way. All their knowledge comes from the grandfather’s owner who taught him. Their massages are a mix between relaxing and physiotherapy. They deeply know human body and how to help to release whatever pain you’re carrying (not only physical). If you have the chance to come, don’t miss the opportunity to get the best massage of your life!
Had the most incredible 90 minute massage here with Kasi. Totally relaxing while also finding every knot and bit of tightness in my body. The place itself is beautiful and the whole experience is lovely. Can’t reccomend it enough!
Had shoulder massage for two. Very pleasant environment, service and professional masseurs. Recommend for sure.
I had a scrub and a full body massage. Both were amazing. The massage worked out some knots in my shoulders and neck. It was so helpful 🙏
Wow wow wow! 🤩I had the best massage of my whole life! It was amazing, really. I had a 90min massage by Dona and I feel like I am new born. ✨I definitely recommend you this place!!! You cannot compare with others!! 😍
What a fantastic massage. I went to Dana today and feel like a new person after the massage. Dana didn't just inflict pain, she dissected every muscle and massaged away the neuralgic tensions. One of the best massage I have ever received. A clear recommendation. Thank you to the entire crew 🫶🙂
One of the best experiences I ever had. It was all clean, prepared, very nice staff and best relaxing massage. We booked a massage a day ahead via whatsapp.
I enjoy a good deep tissue massage and Indi was very good.This was supposed to have been posted in Aug 2023. Massage shed is even better now. A few good renovations. This time I had Sasi and requested firm massage and firm I got 👍
Perfect massage and beautiful place! I had the deep tissue massage and it was amazing, also for a good price. Definitely recommend 🙂
The deep tissue massage with Kasi was absolutely amazing! I can only recommend coming here. You feel comfortable the entire time and the facilities are very clean and nice.
Great spa! Friendly staff, welcome drink and ice towel on a very hot day. The therapists are professionals.The only negative is the noise from the street.
I had an Ayurvedic massage with Dana and it was absolutely amazing. She clearly knows what she’s doing, getting into all the right places and targeting those knots.
Great massage by professionals in a nice and relaxing environment. We tried the Aryuvedic bliss and the Surf Zen massage. Both were great. Highly recommend the place!
Superb 1.5h deep tissue massage by Dana. As a full body massage this was top 5 all-time for me. I had many sports massage for my legs, but this was the full package. Deep enough to hit the knots, stopping till the trigger points released, while also being relaxing. From thumbs, to feet, neck, back of my knee. It was great. There's relaxing music and a basic shower in the toilet to wash off the massage oil. Note: there's a 3% fee on card payments. You can book in person or through whatsapp.
Great, a real invigorating and very pleasant Ayurvedic massage, it loosened all my knots, my masseuse Dania was very kind and talented, attentive to the pressure. I highly recommend
Had an amazing surf zen massage by Nippa. He is very skilled and knows exactly what he is doing. Deep tissue work to get those knots out. Amazing.
The Massage Shed was such a special find for me. The space is so beautiful, calming, and welcoming, and all the staff are so friendly! It’s off the main road so it’s quiet and you can really feel at peace here because of the ambience, decor, and trees. The perfect place to get a massage. The owner, Indica, is so knowledgeable about the body and really helped me with an injury in my hamstring through massage (he has an amazing skill for finding pressure points) and also showing me some stretches that I could do to release the tight muscles. I was even given flowers for international women’s day 💞 I am so grateful for this place and will be returning many times!
So peaceful, so quiet, such a good massage. Thank you Dana. They even gave me flowers because of women’s day.
Hit and miss experience. Women shouldn't be given a massage by a man unless they are asked in advance. Especially when they are shown to the massage room by a woman and asked to undress and then a man walks in. Very uncomfortable. I gave this feedback to the staff, so I hope it has been taken on board.
Incredible relaxing massage - best one I have had whilst travelling around Sri Lanka. Super value and lovely clean cool space
If you’re currently viewing the different massage options in Hiri, stop - and go here. I walked by and the aesthetic of the simple and humble “shed” looked appealing. A friend then told me she’d had an amazing Ayurvedic massage the day before. After an in-cred-ible foot massage from Indi (the owner) - I immediately booked a full body the next day which was without question the best massage of my life. The pain from my hamstring injury was gone for WEEKS - my shoulders dropped back into a “normal” place from hours of computer work. The staff of the Shed are all kind and extremely qualified in helping your body. Indi is one of the kindest souls I met on my Sri Lanka journey and I will forever recommend this business to anyone travelling through Hiri. Thank you!! 🫶🏼
World class massage! Price and performance really strong. We were so excited that we went back the next day. And then it was even better 🙂 both 1.5 hours of deep tissue. This massage here would be a reason to emigrate to Sri Lanka.
Fantastic massage from Dana. I’ve had a lot of massages, and this was definitely one of the top ones I’ve had. Highly recommend.
A real Ayurvedic massage with Cassi. Really great, a sweet moment of relaxation in the hands of an adorable person.I recommend ++++
This is one of the most beautiful massage places I’ve seen in Sri Lanka. Everything looks modern and clean. The staff is very kind and communication goes very easy. You can book through WhatsApp and they respond really fast. Had a very lovely Ayurvedic massage from Dana, it was one of the best I had. Definitely want to come back! Thank you Dana!
Amazing!!!!!!! It was unbelievably!!! 🙏🙏🙏 It was so professional 👌👌👌Me and my husband were very very happy!!! Thank you so much for all staff and for very nice atmosphere! ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing massages here! I had 60 min deep tissue with Nippa. If you like to have someone really working on your trigger points - this is for you. Clean place, relaxing music, convenient booking via WhatsApp. I can really recommend this place.
Had several full body and deep tissue massages with different masseuses - really enjoyed both, especially with Dana
Thank you Dana for the amazing deep tisue massage. The best I ever had. I’ll come back!
I had a 1 hour massage from Kasi, she was amazing. Would highly recommend 👌
This place is incredible. Best massage I've ever had! Go for the 90 mins full body, heaven!
My one hour full body massage was a great experience from start to finish. Cannot recommend highly enough!
I'm not sure I've ever gone out of my way to leave a review for a massage before. But my massage with Kasi was easily the best massage I have ever had (and I've had my share of massages!) so I couldn't not leave a review. I had the 1 hour full body massage and it was absolutely divine. Kasi applied the perfect amount of pressure to all of my pressure points. Thank you!!
Relaxing Ayurvedic massage. We were welcomed with a cold towel and home-brewed iced tea with white honey. The staff is very friendly and professional. After the massage we shared a cup of Ceylon tea with the owner. Great experience!
This was the best massage experience of my life! The atmosphere was relaxing, the staff was incredibly professional, and the massage itself was absolutely amazing. I left feeling completely refreshed and stress-free. I highly recommend this place to everyone looking for top-quality relaxation. I will definitely be coming back! 🤗
It was the best massage (2 hours) I had ever enjoyed! The therapist had incredible insight. I wastotally amazed. Thank you for this great and professional effort! I'll be back!♡
As a therapist myself, I only get treatments from people I know or who come highly recommended. A client of mine gifted me this one-hour massage at The Massage Shed and what a gift it was!From the first massage stroke, I knew I was in safe and professional hands. The therapist knew exactly what pressure was required, what muscles needed more or less attention and put my entire body into a state of deep release and relaxation.I would highly recommend The Massage Shed for any bespoke massage your body requires ... or simply just for the sheer bliss of it.
Had deep tissue massage from Neepa. He does not follow a protocol but does what is necessary. Best massage ever had here, very firm, no joke. He removes blockages, sometimes you just cry from processing. Not from the pain. I recommend this place and would even like to stay extra days in Hiriketiya for it.
A peaceful oasis in Hiriketiya with very skilled massage therapists! Highly recommend!
Really good Surf Zen massage after days of surfing. Some of the therapists really try to release the knotted spots on your back which can hurt and take a bit of the zen away. Make sure that the pressure of the therapist matches your needs.
Amazing massage, I got the surf massage and she really left no stone unturned on my back and shoulders. It was wonderful! The perfect amount of pressure. It included a face and head massage which came as a surprise but was lovely. It is oily in the hair!
Everything about this place is fantastic. The relaxing music drew us in as we passed on the street and the friendly staff were very helpful in booking us the right massages. We left feeling completely relaxed and rejuvenated which carried through to the following days. Love the furniture and decor too!
We came here recommended by our hotel. Got an ayurvedic bliss massage (oil lighter massage). The therapist were awesome and this place's atmosphere is simply perfect (deco, music, low lights..) will come back!
Great massage place in Hiriketiya. Very professional, good facilities and reasonably priced 🙂 thank you!
It didn't look like much when I arrived but it was honestly the best message I've ever had!
All four of our family members had a deep tissue massage - painful at times 😳 but highly effective and such good value for money. A most targeted massage - they find the knots! Would highly recommend
This is the place for a wonderful relaxing massage. Super clean massage parlour, and a wonderful massage for a good price. Super sweet staff. In short: if you are in Hiriketiya and looking for a massage, look no further and walk into the massage shed.
Amazing staff! You are welcome with a small towel for the face and a cup of ice tea. The deep tissue massage was incredible! I recommand 100%.
We had to come back multiple times during our visit in Hiriketiya. The massage was that good!
I don't know if there is a higher quality massage in the south of Sri Lanka or on the whole island than here. It seems that they are the only ones who know how to make correct, sensible Deep tissue. Everything we tried before did not give even 1% of a similar effect. There were three of us and each had an incredible master. Thank you 🙏UPD: I've already been here three times! I went to LOT, Deep tissue and Ayurveda Bliss. I can confidently recommend any of them. Ayurveda is weaker than the others, but I asked the master to make it stronger, and in the end it was magical!
An awesome massage. One of the best I have had, focused on problem areas (there were a lot!) and worked out the knots.
Dana gave me a massage and it was just fantastic! She gave a first class massage that made me relax immediately. The techniques she used were perfectly coordinated and released all tension. The oils used were also excellent and made my experience even more enjoyable. The entire stay was very relaxing and I can highly recommend this spa. I will definitely come back! Thank you!!
One of the best massage of my life, they have a proper knowledge of the triggers points and neuromuscular connections so more than a simple massage you are having a therapy with a great customer service.I have the pleasure to meet the owner his name is Indika and is just an inspirational kind human being a young man in his 30 with great wisdom best of luck my friend 🙏🏻
I loved my experience here!I booked spontaneously one hour ahead the lot massage for 1,5 hours and it was incredible! Also amazing value for around 30 USD/eur.The masseuse can adjust the intensity to your needs.It’s very oily.
What a wonderful 60 minutes, an experienced masseuse and a tranquil tropical environment made for the perfect combination. For a change, firm pressure meant exactly that and I left feeling completely relaxed and refreshed.
Was the best massage ever! It’s the perfect spot to relax! It’s so nice and clean there and the owner is such a nice and friendly guy!!! 100% recommend
Satisfaction guaranteed! Professional deep tissue massage. Definitely worth a visit! Thank you!
One of the Best Massages We’ve Ever Had!My husband and I visited the massage salon at Hiriketia Beach, and we walked out feeling absolutely amazing! It was truly one of the best massages we’ve ever experienced. My husband had a masseur, and I had a masseuse (chrissy)— both were absolutely perfect.The two therapists were incredibly attentive, skilled, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, which made it even more enjoyable. We left feeling completely rejuvenated and couldn’t have asked for anything more.We can 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for a top-notch massage experience. Don’t miss it if you’re in the area!
Wow, solid recommendation! By far one of the best if not the best place for a massage. Dana did a so good job, was uptight from surfing and she hit all! the spots and loosened them up! My girlfriend had an awesome experience too. Don’t think twice, book a session 😉
Great service. Simple but clean and well managed facility. Fantastic message. Highly recommend.
One of the best deep tissue massages I ever had. My masseuse identified knots and tightnesses very accurately and made sure to spend extra time on problem areas on my back. The ambience of the place is simple but nice and everyone was very professional.
I booked the Surf Zen with Dana, and it was magical! 🙏 Very soothing, relaxing and perfect hardness. I went to heaven for 60 minutes! Thank you so much Dana 😍 Stronly Recommended!
We contacted us via WhatsApp and got an appointment on the same day (2x Ayurveda massage). For me one of the best massages I've had so far. Big recommendation 👍
Fantastic massage. I came out feeling very relaxed. Competitive price too
It’s heaven on Earth! I highly recommend Kasi, her hands work magic. I will definitely come again.
I had my fair share of massages. Comparing them to this ads a new level on top of the scale. This was very very good.
Wow! What a fantastic massage this was! I ended up here based on the reviews on Google. Friendly staff who welcome you and I really had the best massage in Sri Lanka by a very sweet, knowledgeable woman. Unfortunately I don't know her name, otherwise I would recommend her to everyone (she was a young woman). Listened carefully to what I wanted and took the time to alleviate pain points. Really great!!
Just unreal! Definitely one of the best massages I’ve ever had..I’m floating 🙂
Went there twice during our stay. Definitely one of the best massages we've ever had. The premises are also very clean and modern. Highly recommended!
We can only recommend the studio. We had a great time and were just relaxed afterwards.Dana and Kasi gave us a massage, they are both great!
Dhana and Crissy are really great, they immediately put you at ease with their frank and precise touch!One of our best massages, thank you 🙏🏽
A wonderful experience! The massage was very relaxing, and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful, making it easy to unwind. The place itself is beautifully designed and creates a perfect environment to relax. I would definitely recommend it to others!
Nice place.Everything is clean, polite, neat - high-quality massage - 1 hour - 6000 fullbody.We were satisfied.
Love the massage and their technique! Felt super relaxed after. Very friendly and attentive staff. It was super clean all around and the massage beds are very comfortable. Definitely recommended.
I did the Revitalization and Relaxation Massage and it did what was promised. I went out revitalized and in between I was asked if everything was okay, the pressure, etc.
Excellent massage, the therapists are very well trained and very professional and the service was courteous. Definitely the best massage on the island!Excellent massage, the therapists are very well trained and very professional and the service was courteous. Definitely the best massage on the island!
I wish I could give 10 stars. Truly one of the best massages I’ve ever had. Indika and his team are wonderful people and know exactly what they are doing. The place is clean and has a peaceful environment. Don’t miss out on this, whenever you are in Hiri.
We booked the 90min full body massage and it was one of the best massages we ever had. Highly recommended!
Both had a wonderful massage, perfect after a day of surfing. We were allowed to lie next to each other. Location is nice, clean and looks good. Staff are friendly. We were there in the evening so there was little traffic and it was very relaxing. The massage was very skilled and knew how to massage the right knots and pressure points.
Was with wife yesterday. Was very clean, fine. Nice job, friendly personal.
My partner and I had 3 full body massages there and they were incredible and so healing. I had Dana and she was amazing at detecting my problem areas and relieving the pain. Greatful for this place
Fantastic massage. I regularly get massages for my bad back and this was up there with the best. I am going to try and go again before I leave! Little bit out of the main town but only a 5 mins walk. I would highly recommend.
We thoroughly enjoyed our full body one hour massage. We wanted 2 female masseuse which they had. We had the room set up together. Highly recommend
I went to the shed since I got recommended from my friend, I had Ayurvedic massage by Indika was incredible! The treatment was something I’ve never experienced, well pressured and relaxing whole my body after long trip. it was exceeding my expectations. Also I appreciated that he offered me extra time for the massage as he had to leave sometimes during my treatment. The shed is cosy, affordable prices, and they provide professional massage, definitely best massage in Hiriketiya. I would come back again for sure! Thank you Indika and his team:))
My gosh this place was incredible! Best massage place in Hiriketiya and locals also said the same.I would definitely recommend to go here for the full body 1.5hr massage. We did it in the evening after dinner and it was so relaxing and well priced. Would love to come back if we are in Hiriketiya again!
Such a good surfing massage, highly recommended, one of the best massages I ever had 🙂 thank you
Exceptional massage tailored to your own needs. They accommodated my husband and I as well as our 9 year old. The owner is very knowledgeable and experienced. He has created a tranquil oasis which is a beautiful spot away from any noise. We have returned on a number of occasions definitely our go to whilst in Hiriketiya
"My visit to 'The Massage Shed' was simply heavenly. The place exudes the feeling of a sanctuary of relaxation. The masseuse mastered her craft perfectly by skillfully relieving my tension and applying the optimal pressure. After the treatment, I felt rejuvenated: completely relaxed and refreshed. I wholeheartedly recommend the massages at 'The Massage Shed' and am already looking forward to my next visit!"
My friend and I found this place as we were staying in a guesthouse close by and were not disappointed. We got a massage appointment for the same day and wow, what a massage it was. A very intense and relaxing body massage that identified all my tensions from long travel days. The owner is very kind and both massage therapists were very professional and well-trained. If you are looking for a massage in Hiriketiya, look no further 💆🏽♀️
I just came out of having a massage with Dana. She was incredible. I have such intense pain in my shoulder / neck area and she knew exactly what I needed and where. I have had a lot of massages in Sri Lanka and Dana by far has had the highest level of expertise with really good knowledge of anatomy. I am going back in two days for a body scrub!
One of the best massages I ever had at a very reasonable price. Place is not right at the beach but take the effort and walk up - it’s worth it 👍🏻
Had such a great massage here. They fit me in at really short notice and the lovely lady did an incredible massage. It was effective & relaxing and even tho it’s a ‘shed’ it was a nice calming environment. I felt the tension released from my shoulders immediately! 6000lkr for 1hr massage 😊
We already had a massage with Indika in 2019. He is very friendly and professional! Very good massage, clean, everything fresh. 👍🏼🙏🏼
The best massage I ever had. I took a full body deep tissue massage and it was amazing. I do a lot of sports so I have muscle stiffness often and i really like when the masseur is touching all the trigger points and applies a good pressure. I felt like a newborn after.If i would be leaving, i would be visiting over and over!Thank you!!
Wow, just had my best massage so far in Sri Lanka, booked earlier in the day at what is literally a shed with two massage tables, staff were friendly and skilled and price was market rate, would recommend any traveller to go here, it really is outstanding!🤗😊
Our yoga teacher from Salt recommended this place and we are glad we listened to her.Best massage location in town.Also for children (child friendly).- 4000 rps per child per 30 min.- 6000 rps per adult per 30 min.
This place was recommended to me because I had back pain for two weeks. Two days before I had a lumbago, so I couldn't move at all anymore.The guy put his hands on my back for a minute and knew exactly where he had to push. After am hour of deep muscle massage I felt an instant relief. It was the first day that I could move properly again.I came back the next day for a 2h full body, deep muscle massage. It was the first day I didn't need pain killers.He knows exactly where to go in deep to relief the tension. It's like a magician who can feel the tension in your body. This guy is more like a chiropractor or a doctor. You should try to go more than once.Best massage I've ever had in my life!Thank you so much! I'll be back!
Well then, how can I explain: surely the best massage of my life! I chose the deep tissue massage. After discussions with my masseur, we agreed that it was the best option given that I was doing a week of intensive surfing. It was really great! I received a 1h30 massage from head to toe (true ahaah) and the masseur's gentleness and skill are incredible. If you're looking for a moment of relaxation, I highly recommend it!

Best massage place in Hiriketiya:)
I’ve been there since I got recommended by friend. Massage experience at the shed was above my expectations! All the staff are welcomed and very friendly as well:) Highly recommend to visit there if you are around in this area!

Perfect Pressure and Found all the Spots.
I almost never write reviews, but I just had one of the best massages I’ve ever had—and I was a massage therapist for 20 years. Nippa’s pressure was just perfect—strong but never too firm, and he found every little spot in my tired, achy body (no longer tired and achy) that needed attention. I can still smell the fragrant oil, and my body is still tingling. I will be returning before the end of my stay in Hiri!

Amazing massage
Amazing place. Can’t recommend it enough. From someone that has done hundreds of massages so far I was impressed! Clean space, western standards. Lovely and genuine people. Very professional too. Highly recommend!

Stop reading and go to The Massage Shed!
Life saving massage! Indi from The Massage Shed saved the day for me this week when I had the most excruciating neck pain, just before a long haul flight. He saw me at immediate notice, at my accommodation - which was so kind. He knew exactly where the pain was originating from, and not only relieved the agony, but made my back better than it has been in many years, and advised me how to get rid of a lifetime of muscle stiffness. I am eternally grateful. My only regret is that I did not discover The Massage Shed sooner as I would have loved to have visited for a massage, when not in desperate need!I work in traditional medicine myself so I know when I meet someone that knows what they are talking about!Indi practices a very special form of traditional Sri Lankan massage passed down through generations, which not only relaxes, but gently shifts blockages and energy in your body, getting to the root cause of your pain or symptoms - physical, mental or emotional.His intuition and understanding of where your body needs work looks like magic - but is a skill and very rare set of senses developed through years of dedication to healing from within.Thank you Indi. You have taught me so much and I hope one day I can be one of your students!If you are visiting Hiriketiya and reading this - do not think twice about going to The Massage Shed - you will come out as a new person! In fact, go visit this beautiful peaceful beach village just for a massage! It’ll be worth it.Thank you, Lucy, UK.

Best Massage Ever in my life!!!!
Best massage I have had EVER in my life. Lovely firm and even pressure. You could tell the massage therapist had a brilliant understanding of the body and common injuries and knew exactly how to help ease my pain. I have been suffering from neck and shoulder pain for months and she really helped me so much. I am grateful for this experience.Would highly recommend this 100 percent !!!

Great recommendation
My wife and I had 7 massages each in the 15 days in Sri Lanka. 2 each in the Massage Shed. Without doubt the best we had in the trip. Really listened to what was nagging you and attended to it. Good value and a nice location.

Best massage in Hiriketiya.
Highly recommend. The Massage Shed was recommended by manager at the Salt House to me. It's just a 5 mins walk from the beach and a very simple set up but the best massage in town... ended up going 3 times in 2 weeks - both relaxing and 'fixing' - i had a bad neck and shoulder, both feeling so much better. Thanks
