PALAGAMA BEACH

Why stay in a typical resort when you can have a truly unique Sri Lankan experience.
We are a small 16 room hotel, along the Western Coast, Kalpitiya. Palagama Beach is all about a true chilled out vibe created lovingly by a family. The vision of world renowned designer Cecil Balmond and his son John was simple – to create beautiful, sustainable living spaces, blending traditional Sri Lankan design with a touch of the contemporary.

If you’re looking to push the limits we have just the thing. Join us for the kitesurfing season and ride the waves of the Indian Ocean. Between May and October, the Kalpitiya coast offers some of the best kitesurfing in the whole of Asia. And you could experience every pulse-racing second. Travel to the school for day lessons, or stay longer and really get into it – it’s up to you. We’ll organise everything including free transport there and back.

Wilpattu National Park is a place to touch the soul of Mother Nature herself. Being Sri Lanka’s largest national park, it is home to 35 species of reptiles,189 species of birds and over 28 species of mammal. It is most famous for its large Sri Lankan leopard population. Also witness bull elephants roaming peacefully in the wild, spotted deer grazing by the water’s edge and the painted stork moving quietly through the wetlands.
