Welcome to our treasured little paradise Hiriketiya, and an even more special welcome to our dedicated team at The Massage Shed. Our mission is very simple – for you to have a great massage.
We are a team of experienced professionals dedicated to your well-being. Indi, with nearly 10 years of professional experience as a qualified Sri Lankan Ayurvedic masseur, leads our team. He is honored to share his expertise with you.
As a team, our passion for massage and your comfort throughout your time at our shed are the single most important things to us. Our clients come from all over the world, each with their own preferences when it comes to how they’re touched. We kindly ask that you communicate your needs to us so that we can ensure you feel safe, calm, and well taken care of.
We offer three carefully crafted treatments because we believe in quality over quantity, especially when it comes to healing. Our team is here to make your massage experience exceptional.
Perfectly suited to surfers, whether you’re a beginner or a pro, Surf Zen is crafted to ease the strain in your back, neck, and shoulders after all that paddling and popping up. If you’re a rookie discovering new sore spots or a seasoned expert who knows just where it hurts, this massage is designed to target those well-earned aches and restore balance.
For the traveler who spends long periods on their feet, Sightseer’s Saneepa is designed to rejuvenate the muscles that carry you through each adventure. Whether it’s strolling along pristine beaches or ascending sacred mountains, this treatment targets the hips, legs, and feet—relieving the strain in your feet, calves, thighs, hips, lower back, and shoulders that work hard every step of the way.
A full-body experience tailored to your needs, this is our favorite treatment to give. With an extended duration and access to both your upper and lower body, we can truly apply our expertise in identifying what your body needs and customize your treatment to meet those needs. Let us know where you’re sore, and we’ll deliver a massage that is both deeply relaxing and healing.
Indulge in our Revitalize & Release: Deep Tissue – a more intense treatment that utilizes deep tissue techniques to release tension deep within the body. This therapeutic journey targets persistent knots and tension, leaving you feeling revitalized and renewed. Unwind as skilled hands expertly alleviate muscle stress, promoting a profound sense of well-being and elevating your spa experience with a rejuvenating blend of strength and serenity.
Embark on a journey of pure tranquility with our Ayurveda Bliss massage, a calming treatment that combines Sri Lankan Ayurvedic techniques with rejuvenating peppermint oil. Immerse yourself in the soothing touch of ancient practices, expertly curated to bring balance to your body and mind. Let the harmonious flow of therapeutic energies guide you to a state of blissful rejuvenation, indulging in the art of relaxation with this exquisite Ayurvedic experience at its finest.
The 30 minute Back Massage is a focused treatment designed to relieve tension in the back, neck, and shoulders, perfect for those needing a quick yet effective release from daily stresses. Skilled hands work to ease tight muscles, alleviate knots, and restore flexibility in areas prone to stiffness and discomfort. Whether you’re seeking relief from long hours at work or just need a moment of relaxation, this targeted massage delivers a refreshing reset, leaving you feeling lighter, looser, and re-energized in just half an hour.
The Coffee and Orange Scrub is an invigorating exfoliating treatment that combines the rich, earthy texture of coffee grounds with the refreshing zest of orange. The coffee grounds work to gently slough away dead skin cells, promoting circulation and leaving your skin feeling smooth and renewed. Meanwhile, the orange adds a boost of antioxidants and vitamin C, brightening your skin and infusing it with a subtle, uplifting citrus aroma. This energizing blend not only refreshes the skin but also awakens the senses, making it an ideal prelude to any massage or spa experience.
EXCELLENT Based on 17 reviews Posted on Alyssa IVerified 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!Posted on Mercy WVerified 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!Posted on Leonor SVerified 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!Posted on Wren0200Verified 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.Posted on Deborah KVerified 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 !!!Posted on jeny bVerified Amazing I recommend a thousand percent a great experience the masseur is super professional I feel relaxed going there gooooooPosted on 61nomadVerified Great recommendation My wife and I had 7 massages each in the 15 days in Sri Lanka. 2 each in the Massage Shed.

Good value and a nice location.Posted on Jani HVerified Pro massage in Hiriketya Very professional massage. Felt very relaxed. Discreet treatment for both males and females. Absolutely recommended.Posted on sam sVerified 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.
