    Beachside comfort near Kalkudah and Pasikuda with poolside relaxation.
"We enjoyed our stay at Kay Jay Palms. The rooms were spacious and very clean. A/C and fan combo kept the rooms cool in the day and night. We had breakfast and dinners there. The portion sizes were much more than we could finish. It is 5 min drive from Pasikuda beach which was very convenient for beach days in the morning and the ability to change before other activities in the afternoon. Overall a great experience. "

Expedia had listed standard room as ocean view, but the property didn’t acknowledge as ocean view for standard room. We got the room we wanted after explaining it, they were accommodating.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Valachchenai?
The best area to stay in Valachchenai is Passikudah, known for its pristine beaches and calm, shallow waters.

Passikudah is a coastal stretch just north of Valachchenai town, easily accessible via the B130 road. The area is characterised by a crescent-shaped bay, lined with hotels and resorts. The beach itself is one of the safest in Sri Lanka, as the coral reef creates a natural barrier, making the sea exceptionally calm and shallow for a considerable distance from the shore. This makes it superb for relaxed swimming and water activities.

Families often find Passikudah ideal due to its incredibly shallow and tranquil waters. Children can play in the sea without strong currents or deep drop-offs, providing peace of mind for parents. Many resorts here offer family-friendly facilities, including swimming pools and dining options suitable for all ages.

For couples seeking a peaceful beach holiday, Passikudah offers a serene escape. The wide, uncrowded beach is superb for long strolls, and the calm waters are inviting for swimming and snorkelling.
When is the best time to go to Valachchenai?
The best time to visit Valachchenai is during the dry season, which runs from April to September.

During these months, you'll experience consistently warm, sunny weather, with average temperatures around 28-30°C. This period is ideal for enjoying the beaches, water sports, and exploring the local area without the interruption of heavy rainfall. The sea is also calmer, making it great for swimming and snorkelling.

Couples looking for a relaxing beach holiday will find this period particularly appealing. The clear skies and gentle breezes create a pleasant atmosphere for spending time by the Indian Ocean, perhaps enjoying a sunset stroll along Pasikudah Beach.

Families travelling with children will also appreciate the dry season. The stable weather ensures that outdoor activities, from building sandcastles to boat trips, can be enjoyed without concern for rain.
