Best coffee on the east coast - probably thanks to the italian GM! ##### Bjarte Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### lesley 13 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Fabulous stay in a little slice of paradise What a delightful stay at Karpaha Sands on the East coast of Sri Lanka . The beautiful beachfront property, great staff and fabulous food all made for a great experience. The staff here have smiles galore and are very helpful and obliging. The small touches like cookies and chocolate brought to your room in the evening, the complimentary fruit juices brought to your beach lounge, home made jams at breakfast , small taster pre dinner are lovely extras. A glitch on check in had us changing rooms and a bit disappointing start as we had rooms booked for a birthday celebration. An upgrade was offered but did not eventuate. The facilities are designed to really appreciate the sea views and breeze -pool is fabulous. Our favourite slingshot guy kept the pesky crows away. We had a lovely time with our family and friends from Australia. East coast of Sri Lanka is our favourite..Kalkudah did not disappoint.

Best place I have discovered in Sri Lanka...golden sands and no crowds. After staying here, I would not consider going to the south of Sri Lanka. Truly a world class experience, very well decorated and the tent like accommodations are the best! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar 28 Feb 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfort at great value Very relaxing, but you must accept that you will be isolated and captive to dining at premises. ##### Oscar Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marit 4 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Marit Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan 25 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt halt. ##### Stefan Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edwin van 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unieke locatie, alles tot in de puntjes geregeld.

Unser Butler Namal hat einen sehr guten Job gemacht und uns jeden Wunsch erfĂĽllt. Auch Umberto (Manager) ist stets darum bemĂĽht das alles seine Ordnung hat. Zudem hat uns der Umgang mit den Hunden gefallen. Sie werden gefĂĽttert und auch der Tierarzt kommt alle paar Wochen vorbei. Wir werden wiederkommen! ##### Caesar Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadine 5 Jan 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Ein besseres Hotel hatte ich bis jetzt noch nie.

Maten var utsøkt, vinene gode, alle som jobbet var fantastiske. Det kan være greit ĂĄ vite at stedet er veldig isolert, og at det er fugler som synger ved soloppgang! Vi ble hentet av Babu i en stor bil den 6 timer kjøreturen. Han var en ypperlig sjĂĄfør :) ##### Tonje Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie Julie 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Magnifique ! Chambre spacieuse et tres bien Ă©quipĂ©e. Tres bonne restauration (petit dej et repas). La piscine est tres agreable et slargement sugfisement grande pour la taille de l'hĂ´tel (peu de chambres). Equipe professionnel. La plage est propre et les pecheurs viennent relever les filets juste devant l'hĂ´tel.
