Citrus Hikkaduwa sits on Hikkaduwa Beach with its own private stretch of sand, run by Citrus Leisure, a Sri Lankan hospitality group with a small collection of properties around the island. Where many beach hotels in the area lean on generic restaurant and bar naming, Citrus Hikkaduwa has built a set of distinctly branded venues that give the property more personality than its size alone would suggest, and give returning guests a recognisable identity to come back to.
Lemon Fish Restaurant is the hotel's main dining room, serving a mix of international and local Sri Lankan cuisine, while Summer Salt Bar operates as an outdoor spot for drinks by the pool or beach through the afternoon and into the evening. A separate Cigar Bar, offering a curated range of cigars and spirits, is a genuinely unusual addition for a hotel at this scale, and it gives evenings here a different character from the standard poolside bar found at most neighbouring properties along this coast.
Rooms are air-conditioned and fitted with tea and coffee making facilities, a minibar and satellite television, with private bathrooms including a hairdryer — a straightforward, comfortable room product rather than one built around design flourishes or individually styled interiors. An Ayurvedic massage centre on site handles the wellness side, running the massages, body treatments and facials typical of Sri Lanka's coastal spa offering.
The pool sits alongside a dedicated children's pool, and a terrace area gives guests outdoor space beyond the beach itself. Service extends to laundry and dry-cleaning, car hire and bicycle rental, currency exchange, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, and a 24-hour front desk — a fairly complete set of practical services for guests who want a fuss-free stay without needing to leave the property for everyday needs.
Because the hotel is run by a Sri Lankan operator rather than an international chain, the tone across its restaurants and bars leans more toward local flavour and informality than the more uniform house style of a global brand — the naming of Lemon Fish, Summer Salt and the Cigar Bar all point to a property willing to put its own stamp on a fairly standard beachfront format.
Citrus Hikkaduwa suits travellers who want direct beach access and a hotel with some real character in its dining and bar offering — particularly the Cigar Bar — combined with the practical services of a well-run, mid-sized property.
