Lolu Village Resort

PaulRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We had an amazing experience at Lolu Village Resort. The resort was very beautiful, well kept, and safe! The location is perfect, so close to all the ancient Anuradhapura temples. Taking a dip in the well kept pool was always so inviting after a long hot day of exploring. All the food at the restaurant was delicious, the staff were so kind and helpful. Highly recommend staying at Lolu Village Resort when visiting Anuradhapura.

An open seating area is highlighted by colorful bean bag chairs, offering views of the beach and surrounding palm trees. The textured ceiling is crafted from natural materials, enhancing the connection with the outdoor environment. Natural light fills the space, creating a relaxing atmosphere.

Beach Villa at "Elements Beach & Nature Resort"

StephRating, 5 stars78 months ago

Samith was extremely helpful and responsive. The hotel is beautiful and we chose to stay in the stylish wooden beach chalets. As an eco lodge, there is no air conditioning but the fans and chalets were perfectly cool. There is also no heated water but so the showers are warmer in the afternoon on a hot day but cold all day if it’s a cloudy day! Kalpitiya is very windy, and therefore, a great destination for kite surfing which was really fun, even for a beginner! It is a great alternative if you want some peace and quiet. The food was fantastic, especially if you happen to be there for their bbq nights which has seasonal produce including fresh fish, squid, prawns, chicken etc. The only slight criticism is that some stretches of beach are littered with plastic, which is common to other parts of Sri Lanka, although it is clear that the hotel has made efforts to go green and I would thoroughly recommend it!

Chalet 04

OliverRating, 5 stars28 months ago

If we could we would give them 6 stars here. The staff of the lodge was extremely helpful with any needs that we had. The whole site was spotless as well as the rooms there. It was the perfect place for us with the right ambiance for some relaxation. The food of the restaurant was amazing and we ate most of the time there because we couldn't find anything more delicious. Heads up to the team there. Keep up the good work. A big recommendation of this place from our side. It is really good value for money.

We very much enjoyed the beautiful and unspoilt beach so close by and the refreshing pool in front of the cottage. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Pradeep was most charming and helpful with everything. He also cooked us a delicious breakfast. Next time we hope to go to the new cottage looking right on the ocean.

Sun Wind Beach Kalpitiya - Double Bed- Cabana 3

SusanneRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We actually wanted to use colombo here for 3 days to rest and bathe here for 3 days. 3 became 6 days and a beginner kitesurfing class. It's definitely a kitesurfing hotspot, but no matter who comes..all are immediately welcomed into the big family. You grow together quickly...oh it was really nice with all of you. Breakfast and dinner make the mom and we enjoyed it very much! Of course, you can also eat outside! Susantha is always available for questions. The cabanas are simple but romantic. Those who are afraid of bugs,frogs and geckos are not in good hands here. 🤗We say: Thank you

Nirukthie Beach Resort & Restaurant

MichaelaRating, 5 stars29 months ago

The cabana was spacious and very clean with a big shower to store boards and kites. Hot water as well! The garden is beautifuly arranged, directly at the beach. The restaurant serves delicious Sri lanken food but also European and the portions are very generous. Niru and Less are welcoming, very friendly and helpful. If you need a lift to town they go 3 to 4 times a week or take orders for stuff to buy. The beach is positioned perfectly to kite over to the lagoon in 2 min. We are deffenetly back!
