Set in Kalpitiya, Agro Village Resort, Kalpitiya offers accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, darts, free private parking and free WiFi.

Anushka was a fantastic host who went above and beyond to ensure we enjoyed our stay. He organised a safari to Willpathu at a very reasonable price which included a boat ride on the lagoon! Shelton’s cooking was exceptional and we enjoyed two delicious and hearty breakfasts and dinners of local food. The room and bathroom was very clean and comfortable and AC kept us cool in the nights. We also took advantage of the lovely pool and free bicycles to explore the local area. Everything is done to a high standard and quality and I would definitely return to this beautiful part of Sri Lanka.

Featuring garden views, The Sanctuary in Vannativillu provides accommodation, a garden and a terrace. There is an in-house restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available.

Spacious, comfortable and stylish room. Lovely staff (Dinesha is a fabulous cook - our breakfast and dinner were both superb; Achini and Dula were knowledgeable and passionate about nature and we enjoyed our walking tours). It was a shame we couldn’t get to Wilpattu National Park due to flash floods making the road impassable

Set in Kalpitiya, Dune Towers provides accommodation with seating area. This beachfront property offers access to table tennis, free private parking and free WiFi.

Dune Towers will not be everyones cup of tea, but we had a very lovely few days there. It's in a very wild and remote location which we loved. The rooms are in two quite new towers with a deck slung between, and a dining room for when the flies get too overpowering. The food and the service were outstanding. The pool, and its slide were great fun. The nearby beach is sublime and deserted. The Dolphin trip will live in my memory forever- very special. So LOTS to like.

Sun Wind Beach Kalpitiya Kite Resort, a property with a garden, is located in Kalpitiya, 1.9 km from Kudawa Beach, 2.3 km from Kalpitiya Beach, as well as 2.9 km from Kandakuliya Beach.

Sun Wind Beach Kite Resort is a place with an incredibly positive vibe. Spending a few weeks with Susantha's family is an experience in itself. Delicious homemade dinners prepared by his mom, a always-smiling dad, and Susantha with his unique outlook on life. More importantly, when it comes to learning how to kite surf, I couldn't have found a better place. Susantha is a passionate person dedicated to ensuring his team teaches you how to ride a kite and have fun doing it. They wouldn't let me give up when I was feeling overwhelmed, and eventually, I started riding the board with the kite. Huge thanks to the entire team: Susantha, Chamindha, Denniske and other friends for great adventure and helping me fulfill my dream😊😊

    Nice quest house in a quiet location. The bed is with a mosquito net so you can leave your window open overnight. Free water + fridge. Little kitchen with plates and cutlery. You can sit in the little garden under the trees. Close to the harbour where you can watch the sunset. Good value for money. Nearby is a good restaurant called Elite, huge portions for a good price.

    It's a nice and calm place, which has a huge garden to walk. You can even rent bikes there for free to get to the city centre. The kitchen is super good equipped and clean, which was wonderful. The host was super friendly and welcoming to us and helped where he could. The bus stops from Kurunegala, and Puttalam is super close. Moskito nets are there! The family room is big enough for 3 person.

    For a guy on a bike like me, this is perfect. Its out of the way and quiet, but also 5 minutes away from shops and food. Garden is really serene. The guys that run the place are very friendly and hospitable.
