Guest Houses in Puttalam

I liked that the hotel provided the basics. I had a comfortable stay. The added bonus was the restaurant on the site.

Really cool tree house rooms on the peninsula. The host and cook is amazing and he makes delicious meals. The rooms are clean and spacious. The bathroom is partially open air which was really cool. The hammocks and tables made it a peaceful haven. The pool was still being made when I went but it will be a really nice addition. I highly recommend this place.

Living with Susantha and his family at Sun Wind Beach Kite Resort and Kite School Kalpitiya is an experience in itself... Susantha is determined to give his guests a genuine Sri Lankan family atmosphere, where his mom cooks for all of us and we all live a wonderful life together in a coconut plantation, without luxury in nature. If you add to all this the great kitesurfing field of Kalpitiya, along with what Susantha has to offer and its cousins to those who learn to kitesurf then we are talking about an incredible paradise. I am an intermediate kiter, so I needed lessons. However, what I saw is his students succeeding from zero to hero within 4 days. As for experienced kiters. Don't expect green water but expect steady winds from both flat water and open ocean chop with big waves. As for the cons? Yes, there are those too. The wider area is marshy. Therefore mosquitoes attack in bursts. Otherwise everything is good... Genuine Sri Lankan atmosphere untouched by tourism. Family environment and excellent conditions for learning kitesurfing. Don't distance yourself. I personally left there on 15-02-2025 and I am already dreaming of my return on 18-05-2025. Susantha I can't wait!

Great location (dolphin watching operator around the corner). Super friendly host and restaurant on site. Decent beach nearby
