- From US$32 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.2Superb - What previous guests thought, 85 reviewsI recently had the pleasure of staying at Kitesurfing Lanka, and I can confidently say it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that immediately set the tone for my entire stay. A special shout-out to the property manager, who made us feel welcome from the start. His attention to detail and genuine interest in making our stay as comfortable as possible went above and beyond our expectations. It’s clear that he takes pride in ensuring everything runs smoothly, and his hospitality was top-notch. The chef deserves an equally glowing review. Every meal was a delight – from traditional Sri Lankan dishes to international favorites, everything was cooked to perfection. The fresh seafood was particularly spectacular, and we loved the variety of flavors and ingredients that were used. Dining at the hotel was truly an experience in itself. The rooms are beautifully designed with comfort and style in mind. Whether you’re staying in the cozy beachfront chalets or the stylishly modern rooms, you’ll find everything you need for a perfect stay. The open-air feel, combined with excellent amenities, made for an incredibly peaceful and relaxing environment. The sea breeze and sounds of the waves just outside my window created the ideal atmosphere for unwinding after a day of adventure. We had the pleasure of going on a boat ride to experience dolphin watching, and it was absolutely magical! The boat ride itself was scenic and peaceful, and seeing the playful dolphins in their natural habitat was an experience we’ll never forget.Guest review byMeemadumaSri Lanka
- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.7Fabulous - What previous guests thought, 41 reviewsI really enjoyed my stay. The wooden bungalows are very rustic and cozy, with open roofing and an outdoor shower. The garden is well-maintained too. The school has a WhatsApp group where they share information about lesson planning, wind conditions, and activities, which I found really well-organized. Dinners are served with all the guests at the kite center, which was just 5 minutes away by bike. Safran was my instructor. He is very experienced and teaches in a great way—always calm, helpful, and full of good advice. I made great progress thanks to him. I felt like in a kitesurf community . Thanks a lot to Safran and all the Margarita staff!Guest review byJemmaTurkmenistan
- From US$211.36 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.0Very good - What previous guests thought, 124 reviewsIt's extremely great and cool. It's the most beautiful resort you can imagine. The nature inside and around the resort is spectacular. The kayaking experience was great. The staff are amazing. The breakfast was amazing (inc many veg and vegan options). The pool was amazing and you can relax besides it even after closing time (7 pm). The route was easily accessible without any issue. There's a tuk tuk taxi station right in front of the gate. The lunch was amazing. The rooms are with classic design and little old but clean and very beautiful with the most spectacular view.Guest review byMatin ShaerpourOman
- From US$369.46 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.1Superb - What previous guests thought, 31 reviewsPerfect stay at the Karanukarala Ayurveda resort, especially the Ayurveda treatment was wonderful. In the beginning, the crew told me it was fully booked, but in the end, they managed to schedule it for me. The room was big, and really clean and the beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay there, especially to relax (recommend the yoga and meditation classes).Guest review byFloorNetherlands

Perfect if you want to be in a peaceful place, yet still close to Negombo for sightseeing. Without mentioning about my wife's birthday, they brought us a delicious chocolate cake. This shows their hospitality and how they want to show interest and respect for their guests!Guest review byStefanCyprus

This is one of the largest national parks in Sri Lanka, and it has the highest leopard density. But please don't just go and do the usual leopard watching, it gets crowded. Talk to your tour guide or hotel and do some of the less-travelled routes inside the park, and you will enjoy the nature of Sri Lanka on a whole other level. You might not see any big mammals, but you will understand and enjoy the nature, history and biodiversity. If you are going, spend one day doing the usual "touristy" route, then spend the rest of your time exploring the less-travelled routes. There is magic in these jungles. Go find it!Guest review byDave Free - 10
Kalpitiya is an enchanting destination.
Kalpitiya is an enchanting destination. It's the only place in Sri Lanka where you can take kitesurfing lessons and safely practice kitesurfing with expert assistance from seasoned local kitesufers. Although it's generally considered an arid landscape, even in August, one of the driest months in Sri Lanka, it was largely green and without sweltering heat. Probably, the strong wind causes the heat to dissipate. There's a long stretch of fairly clean beach to explore. Many hotels to stay in and many restaurants to dine at. If you take the train from the Colombo fort railway station like me, you can get down at Palaviya station and walk about 100 metres to reach the road leading from Palaviya to Kalpitiya and take a bus from there and then get down at either Kurinjipitiya or Kalpitiya depending on where you plan to visit and/or stay in. Apart from Kitesurfing, you can go sightseeing, see dolphins, bask in the sunshine, take boat tours, cycle and more in Kalpitiya.Guest review byJayashantha84Sri Lanka - 6.0

You need a car or a Tuk Tuk to take you anywhere as it is away from any shops ect The hotel was very helpful and arranged a Tuk Tuk to take us to the market and religious site. Be mindful regarding the beaches as they are not fit to swim in due to the plastic rubbish and pollution in the water. We went for a walk on the beach but came back after a few hundred metres as it was too depressing to go any further due to the plastic rubbish all over the beach and the millions of microplastic balls that we thought were stones and then realised what it was. Very disturbingGuest review byRogerUnited Kingdom - 8.0

The Manager of the hotel and his staff (including 3 dogs and a cat) are above any praise. If you seek for a well organized place to rest without problems do come to Puetz Travels Beach Resort. Mr. Marcus will make your trip a real holyday. Even wild crocodiles that live in the nearby river dream to move to the magic canals of Puetz Travels Beach Resort. I wish i were among the lucky ones.

it is my ancestral hometown.
it is my ancestral hometown. I visited Katuneriya in order to find my long-lost friends from childhood and to find survivors of deceased relations. I also discovered most of the by lanes towards seaside have become narrower due to encroachments and descendants of my relatives have migrated to Italy. Many large villas built over the years, resembling Italian houses lying empty. most of the households have better living standards and few people are engaged in fishing.Guest review byPerera - 10

Kalpitiya is a very beautiful destination. A place to stay for a few days. There are many places for you to enjoy and visit. But be careful when you find a place to stop. Be more careful with low-cost places. Dinuda Villas is a very beautiful place. Babzy and the team are doing very well.Guest review byLiam NoahFrance - 10

Wilpattu is an absolutely stunning place close to the reserve. That tents have everything that you need that is good shower is good. The barbecue in the evening is really nice and the surroundings stunning. The staff is super helpful and will go out of their way to accommodate you.

We planed our trip for three days.
We planed our trip for three days. There are several places to visit in Kalpitiya. We went to Kalpitiya Dutch fort, also Kalpitiya Dutch church. St. Anne's National Shrine is located nearby. It is known as Thalawila Church too. No matter what religion you follow, St. Anne’s Church in Thalawila is one of the most ancient and wonderful of all Christian shrines in Sri Lanka. Our third day was very exiting because we planned a boat ride to Baththalangunduwa island. Baththalangunduwa is an island off the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka, reachable from Kalpitiya. The boat ride from Kalpitiya is roughly 32 kilometers long and takes approximately 3.5 hours. Camping on this island is becoming increasingly popular among local tourists.Guest review byChathurangaSri Lanka
