Find Places to Stay in Kalpitiya on Airbnb

Amazing place for kiters and great experience for people who are aware that preserving the environment and including the community is important for world’s future. We loved it!

We enjoyed this beautiful, calm en relaxed place very much. Abdul is a great host and made our stay even more comfortable. Even as the boat driver, Nick the kite instructor, the Princess in the kitchen (the food is really delicious!) and the other workers. Thank you very much for a nice stay!

If you go to Sri Lanka, you should definitively stop at Ruuuk Village!! The host are so nice, the food is one of the best we ate during our trip, the cabana are so cool.... 5 stars for this airbnb! Go to Ruuk village !!!!

5 star stay. The staff can not be more friendly, accommodating and professional. Rooms are lovely (we stayed in an ensuite cabana). Outdoor bathroom is a luxury. Food excellent and far too much. Our 2 young teenage boys loved plying carrom which they were taught to play by the staff. Having wifi also made them happy as well as our trips to swim and play in the warm Indian Ocean. The staff also organised for us to see the Dolphins and Willpattu. Both experiences were incredible. Getting to Willpattu by boat made the whole experience an adventure. I got 'this was our best day ever' from my boys. Roshan was amazing at sorting out transport and responding to my questions and the staff there on site all ensured we didn't have to worry about anything. I feel incredibly lucky to have been part of Ruuk Village experience. So glad we headed away from all the tourists going south and went north instead. I think this spit will develop and change fast so get there before it gets too built up.

Lovely times and created memories at Ruuk village. The team will do just about anything to make you feel at your best. We didn’t come for kiting and still had loads of fun and enough to do. The food is fantastic, the bathroom clean, the people smile and the views are great! Oh and Wilpattu national park is a great outing

What a sanctuary! So peaceful and nice!

The two week stay at Ruuk Village was a dream !! Even as a "non-kite surfers" one has come through activities such as stand-up paddling or with short trips quite at his own expense. We especially liked the food, which was freshly prepared every day for us and was eaten together with everyone else at a large table. Special praise to the whole team, who went to great lengths to fulfill our wishes and questions. This place is just right for those who long for a break and want to relax. We will be back ;)

This place is awesome, right on the lagoon, chilled atmosphere, nice people and really great food. Very nice eco concept, generator in the evening is ample and cabins are cool enough in the nights. Have a cooking class with the cook, she’s great. Massive portions and set menu is different everyday. Highly recommended!

If you want somewhere where you can really relax then this is the place! We had such an amazing time at Harshan’s place, we made some great memories and left making some great friends as well. Harshan was the perfect host, very kind and generous, helping us out in any way that he could. We spent time cooking fresh fish together caught and bought right outside Dolphin Wadiya, playing Carrom, volleyball, sharing lots of laughs and chilling out. His place is a 5 minute walk from the beach with beautiful views from the peaceful garden. The room is very comfortable, quiet and clean and there is bikes you can borrow to cycle around the local village. We can’t recommend this place and Harshan enough, it was the perfect end to our trip in Sri Lanka! We really didn’t want to leave and hope that we meet again in the future! 10/10

Harshan is a very pleasant lodging which generously helps you. The place is very peaceful and the breakfasts are delicious. Thanks for everything Harshan. I recommend this place 200%

Very nice guest house. Darshan is a lovely cottage and it helps you if you have a problem. Thank you. Address to recommend for calm and tranquility.

Harshan and his team are really great hosts, they care a lot about their guests. The place is quiet and a short walk away from the beach, and you can borrow a bike to go around. Excellent value for money!!!

Nice and calm location close to a lagoon. There are cosy bungalows in a beautiful quiet garden perfect for relaxing. Harshan is a very friendly and helpful host, who cares a lot about his guests.

Harshan was always so happy to see you and help you with what ever he could. Such a nice guy and great little place to chill out

It was just the best you can book in kalpitiya!

This is really a great place, the little houses are simple but super clean and very convenient. The large garden is very beautiful, very flowery with the view overlooking the sea! In the morning Harshan brings us the local breakfast which is very good. I highly recommend this beautiful place ... The harshan host is just great, always available when needed day or night. In the top !

Sam was an outstanding host. He helped us out with our further trip and he was always willing to help with any problem we encountered in Kalpitiya. Unfortunately we didn’t go diving with him, but he is a very good instructor. Hopefully we will see him again, he is such a nice soul.

I recommend this place ... Clean room ...

Very good location 20 meter from the beach, Very clean sheet and bathroom. Very good homy food, Very generous person.(I arrived a day after my supposed dates and He allowed me to stay one day more no charge!)

We got a very warm reception. Sam, his wife Milu and the team were very helpful and had good tips for us. The meals from Milu could we highly recommend. In any case we would book this accomodation again.

Good

The place is a traditionally built coconut tree and leaf cabana with good concrete bathroom. Mosquito net but not many mosquitoes. Surprisingly cool with a good fan. Breakfast is supplied and Sam’s wife cooks delicious local foods .

Can't rate my stay here highly enough. Staff are very friendly, attentive and happy to meet your every needs. Food was excellent, compliments to Reno (hope this is the correct spelling!). Great pool for relaxing around. The bungalows are beautiful, really stylish interior (love the four poster bamboo beds) and very clean. Kitesurfing instructors were excellent, very patient and encouraging. Wonderful place to stay whether you are kitesurfing or relaxing. Can't wait to return.

This resort is really fantastic. The garden and nature is amazing and the direct access to the lagoon is very special for sunrise and especially for the sun set (not only for romantic couples) The houses are nice and the outdoor shower is one of the things i loved very much. The big pool is another highlight of this place. I can highly recommend this place to all lovers of nature and friendly people.

If you are going to Kalpitiya this is where you must stay! This resort feels like home. The staff is absolutely incredible. I had kite lessons from Chamara who was an awesome teacher! The staff felt like family by the end of the trip. The rooms are so cool, with amazing outdoor showers and hammocks on the front porch and very comfy beds. The food was perfect, we didn’t want to eat anywhere else while staying here (I saw the new menu in the works too and it looks delicious!). I can’t recommend this place enough - I can’t wait to go back in the near future!

We had a really wonderful time at the ressort! the chalets are beautiful and clean with a comfortable bed. There are lots pf palm trees which makes the area really beautiful. They decorate the ways with flowers and shells and give great opportunities to sit down and enjoy the view of the lagoon. The staff was always there if we had questions and were very friendly. The food was very good.

So nice I came back twice...good to see Valampuri developing and still such a pleasure to stay. The wind even played nicely and got to enjoy every day. Highly recommend.

We had an amazing 3 nights at Valampuri. The pool was a lifesaver, along with the hammocks. It was very relaxing and we would go back again. The food was AMAZING, staff was very friendly and accommodating. We went on a boat ride over to the beach and also explored the little town a bit. We spend about 45$ cnd per day per person on food and drinks.

Our stay in Valampuri began 3 weeks of Sri lankan experience. We couldn't ask for more. The place itself is located in a remote, calm area that offers astonishing view and access to the lagoon. Kayaks and bikes that you can rent for free allows you to explore surronding places. Watching a sunset from the kayak was just perfect. Delicious food, relaxing atmospehere and new swiming pool made our stay just unforgettable. About food: Prassad the chef, will surprise you with the special menus based on his own recipes. Mixing various types of cuisine, it's fresh, it's mouthwatering, spicy and so original. The best crabs up to date. Thank you Valampuri team for everything you've done during our stay!! :))

Simply super! Very good, friendly and helpfull staff, great stay in a wonderful paradise....very good swimmingpool for children and families..... 5 stars plus😁

The most cost-effective, very ecological accommodation with good environmental design. (High score evaluation) The only imperfection is the location. There are no convenience stores in front of and behind.

The place worked well for us staying one night not much going on in the local area but dolphin watching December to April. All in all a good stay.

Beautiful very spacious villa in a large coconut plantation and fruit trees, everything corresponds to what we saw and read and we found ourselves very well. Leslie was always friendly and very helpful as well as Shailini. Excellent breakfasts. Recommended.

Great and tidy place to stay. Great value for money. Excellent location with peaceful atmosphere. Great service and excellent communication. In summary five star accommodation for the location.

Honestly one of the best Airbnb's I've stayed in Sri Lanka. You get more than you pay for with the amount of space in the house and the caretaker was very kind and helpful. Shalini is a very helpful and understanding host. Definitely a rare find in the Kalpitiya area.

Magnific! A place in paradise, big villa with 3 bedrooms and three bathrooms, big terraces and a huge yard full of fruit trees. Very quiet place. Leslie was very helpful. Thank you Shalini! We will definitely come back.

Great place..spacious and nice surrounding.. This is my second visit and had a good time with my family..

Amazing house, we had a great stay. We had barbeque outside and really enjoyed the interior of the house. The rooms are spacious and clean. Recomend it!!

We spent two nights at Susanthas place and it was really nice. He often helped us with a few local tips and also the breakfast and also the dinner was very delicious.

This place is excellent. Service and hospitality are incredible. Its very quiet and relaxing. Amazing atmosphere. Susantha and his family go out of their way to make you feel at home. Highly recommend.

Susantha and his Family are so friendly and amazing hosts. The cabanas and whole Place is so beautiful and the food is the best we had on our Trip. They help you where ever you need it. thank you very much!

Susantha was the perfect host, always smiling and made us feel very welcome

Susantha's place is perfect for those who want a friendly experience, where you get to know the other people staying there, eat home-cooked meals made by Susantha's mom, kite with concientious and skilled instructors, and generally have a great time!

It’s easy to understand why Susantha is a super host if you stay with him. The only negative point is the mosquitoes. Nothing Susantha can change about that. Prepare with lots of anti mosquito spray.

Excellent place with a very caring family running it, no hesitation to stay here again. Great food.

Susantha is an amazing host. Nothing is too much trouble to get or fix for you. The food was amazing and all cooked by the mother. For kiting this place is paradise. You are 2 minutes from the lagoon and the fun starts there. The boat assistance is always there if needed. Help and guidance is always available. They are an incredible team. So chilled and fun to be with. The day trip to Vella island was stunning. Great wind and flat water. We had such strong winds later each day on the lagoon, it made it such fun. Thank you all for making this such a fantastic trip.

We extended our stay for an extra night as we loved Kitelantis so much. We stayed in a glamping tent which was clean, had a fan and power sockets and two mattresses and were able to watch the sunrise from our tent. Roshan and the staff are absolutely incredible, so warm and thoughtful to us, the breakfast is some of the best we’ve had in Sri Lanka! This place is a hidden gem and we were very thankful to have stayed here.

This place was amazing!! I stayed with my boyfriend in the tent for (unfortunately) only one night. The tent is gorgeous, there’s a fan and usb charger. The bed is very comfortable and clean, only 10 meters away from the common bathroom (maybe a little bit dirty). The breakfast is super! A lot of food such as fresh fruit, toast and fresh bread, dhal, sambol, omelettes, scramble eggs... i really eat a lot! The chill space is so cute! There are hammock, a lot of pouf, a place where you can make a cup of tea and drink filtered water. The pool is very very good and you can order at the bar directly inside the water. During you’re free time you can do a lot of things: you can use FOR FREE yoga mats, kayak, slack line and paddle, I think that’s the best think about this place! I highly recommend to everyone this place!

We took the train to palavi and then tuk tuk to Kitelantis. Gorgeous location on lagoon. Tent is a good size for two adults. Lovely details. Fan, side table lights and USB outlets. Walking to the Washrooms at night was no issue as they were close by and lit. This is on a small resort/ coconut plantation. There are a few other bungalows and we enjoyed chatting with guests over supper. Love the dining hall design, right next to the extra clean pool. we took a paddle board and went to the kite surfing part of the bay. Highly recommend if you can, it’s fun to watch dozens of kites on the bay. Walk over to the seaside beach and it is unspoiled. The resort is a tuk tuk ride distance from the village, so we opted to eat most meals on the property. Maybe good to enquire about meal pricing before booking. Food was plentiful and good quality. We grouped with others staying here and did a dolphin watching trip. For which we had to drive to norrochallai. Stayed an extra day as it was such a chill place to relax in.

It was great to visit Attila's accomodation. I highly reccomend this place to visit, if you come for a kitesurfing or just traveling around. Nice room, clean facilities, pleasant people everywhere. Room was on the corner of 1st floor, so we had a quite terrace, we can seat on and have a rest. You can have a breakfast / half / full board just on the territory. Nearly each two days there is a "special dinner", when you have a meal not from the menu but some barbecue or special local dishes - that is nice for diversity There is a nice lounge zone under the palmas in hammocks and swinging chairs to spent time with no wind. For kitesurfing there is a sea kite spot just in front of the territory, but you can also go to the flat lagoon with every-day transfer. You can store all you equipment in a storehouse. Equipment washing facilities are provided too. Staff is very friendly, ready to help, even can book a scooter or call for tuk-tuk, organize a sight-seeing trip or transfer. We were glad to spend some evenings with other visitors or Attila himself just talking and sharing impressions. Some day we definately will come back to visit Attila again.

We stayed one night in this lovely place. The communication before and during our stay was perfect. The room, we stayed in, is very beautiful and cozy furnished! Everything is new, there were some construction work but it did not disturb us. The food was excellent, define tour was very succesful and the staff very helpful. Thanks for having us! We can highly recommend this Airbnb host!!

Perfect place for Kitesurf in Kalpitiya lagoon. Very helpful staff and “closer to nature” experience throughout.

Great place with a mesmerizing view! 🌊🌴🌞 Friendly and attentive staff. Ideal for kite surfers :)

Stay in a calm and sporty atmosphere. A lot of space in this kite camp, in the rooms as well as outside where serenity reigns without agitation. Ideally located, it has one of the most beautiful views of Kalpitiya Bay. Small touches like unlimited drinking water, soap, or change of sheets / towels regularly throughout the stay are a real plus. An excellent surprise or we also eat very well. Very good value for money.

The perfect spot! Damith is realy helpfull and attentive. Very good local food and spacious room. Ideal for family too... Thanks

Loved it, very peaceful. Great hospitality and great food. Wake boarding is a must!

Very spacious, clean rooms. Excellent location, good food and friendly staff with good information. Due to an accidental overcrowding, we spent the first night right next door, easily arranged by our host before our arrival and we were well compensated. We would definitely come back.

We ended our two-week holiday with four nights here and it was the perfect wind-down. We don’t kite-surf, but that didn’t matter - we were warmly welcomed and felt like family by the time we left! Susantha is a charming host and so are his parents- his mother does most of the cooking and the food was delicious. We loved our rustic cabana and the dolphin-watching trip recommended and arranged by Susantha was magical.

Great host!

I booked the place because I imagined it to be beautiful and it was just love at first sight! SWB is such a magic place with all the thought through decorations and the chilled out atmosphere! Susantha and his whole family make this spot very special with their welcoming attitude. Food was just amazing and everyone was always smiling and friendly. Susantha is the best kitesurfing instructor you can think of and the trips to the lagoon and Vella island were heaps of fun! I’ll definitely come back soon!

Even if kite-surfing is not for you this is still a wonderful place to stay in Kalpitiya. Susantha and his whole family, especially his mom, Mary Jacinta, who does all the cooking, make you feel totally cared for but in a relaxed non-hovering kind of way. A special shout out to Bubbi who ground all that coconut! - JoJo & Bruce

Susantha is a very welcoming host and a font of local knowledge. The first local to set up a school here, he continues to champion the local people, attempting to get them into the kite industry locally. Sun Wind is a lovely spot, right by the lagoon, and relaxing to return to after a day on the water. Susantha's mum is a great cook and the food is always exceptional.

Our stay at Susantha's was just perfect. We arrived for a short two day stay to take some Kite lessons and Susantha and his family arranged everything perfectly. If we had more time to travel we would have loved to stay there for much longer. The atmosphere is relaxed and the smiles of everybody around make you feel at home. Breakfast and food are very good and the whole place is really well maintained and taken care of with love and an eye for details. We would come back anytime! Thank you!

Really cosy and friendly family business. Susantha, his brother and cousin will help you anytime with anything you need. Perfectly located for kitesurfing at all levels. Ideal for beginners progression. Feels like at home, not like in most of the places on a kitespot. Good food, good mood, beautiful smiles all you need for a perfect holiday. The cabanas are comfortable and spacious with all you need. Been there in January, the weather is just perfect and the water as well. Susantha can organise kite lessons, boat trip, BBQ and is always happy to help with all your needs. Definitely recommended

These cozy cabins are beautiful and close to the beach. We liked the style and the remote location a lot. Sam was unfortunately sick but still tried to help us as much as he could - so we fully recommend this place.

12/10 service, loved it ❤️ First of all, I was going through places to stay in the internet, while I was travelling towards the north in a bus. I found this place at AirBnB and made a fast booking straight away. After that we had few calls back and forth, for Sam (the owner) made everything to make sure we had a place to stay upon arrival. After we got to the place, Sam and hes family made us most welcome with some wonderful tea and a dinner. The room was a tidy bungalow with a fan. Second day we went out for some diving around the coast and also spotted a huge pack of delphins. Sam is experienced diver, and he is all about safety. The diving is relaxed and chilled. Loved the boat crew. All in all, totally recommended. This is not for the luxury seeking holiday goers, roads are hard, and the accommodation is not 5 stars. But the people, the local food, the feeling you get is something you cannot put a prize tag on. All the best, Jon.

Super beautiful location! The staff go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure your stay is enjoyable - we would certainly recommend Kitelantis to anyone staying around kalpitiya!

We stayed 4 nights in margarita village and it was really nice! It's a great place where you can easily meet other kiters. Free bicycles are very handy to go to the kitesurfing lagoon and town. Ruben and his crew are very friendly and give plenty of advice! (Thanks so much for helping me to get this up wind move!!) . Also, you are very close to nature there :D and sometimes birds song a bit early in the morning but that's part of the charm.

Ruben's place is fantastic, a paradise. Our hosts were extremely friendly and happy to help for anything you need. The food is good and cheap, unique friendly atmosphere. Everything was perfect and it s hard to leave this place. And if you do kitesurfing, the place is amazing (for experienced and beginners kiyesurfers) with very competent, patient and friendly instructors. I highly recommend

We had an amazing stay with Ruben and his team. We arrived with no prior kitesurfing experience or expectations and hired Ruben's kitesurfing school for ten hours of lessons at what we believe to be a very fair rate. Mario, our instructor, was a great teacher who had us both feeling confident and taught us much about how to kitesurf safely. It is a very difficult and demanding sport so ten hours isn't enough time to truly excel but I feel our progress under Mario was very good compared to some of the newbies I had chance to observe from other schools in the area. Aside from that the actual 'Margarita Village' was a great place to hang out in the evenings and it attracted a lot of interesting people. The meals were healthy and delicious and the huts were really nice. We had a great time and if we could afford it we would have liked to have continued to stay there learning to kitesurf.

Awesome place and experience. Food is really good and there is a convenient little shop next door which sells any basics you may need. Kitesurfing equipment is all in good knick and the instructors are patient and passionate. Will be back!

THE PERFECT PLACE TO LEARN KITESURF Ruben was the perfect hoster, I decided to learn KITESURF and hese team was very good I enjoyed the lessons like baby :)... Before leave the place Ruben was helping me to organise the next week's in Sri Lanka thank you for all :)

a compound of 6 wooden chalets with an onsite bar and restaurant. a great place to chill and unwind. The outside shower is a great experience. felt very much at home.

Margarita Village is a great place to be! We were welcomed very friendly, the owner and his employees are super nice, friendly and always helpful what gives you an unforgettable experience in kalpitiya - whatever you want (dolphin watching, kitesurfing, diving, a scooter, a doctor) - Ruben can organize that for you - a fact we frequently and quite lazily made use of :)) The Huts are clean and very cozy. They are built in a way that allows the air to circulate so you'll always feel comfortable and fresh ( something we prefer over an AC!) To get somewhere we advise you to rent a scooter or tuktuk since walking to the beach might take 20-30 minutes in the heat. Thanks again Ruben!!!!

Great place to stay really good experience especially loved seeing the spinning dolphins. Reuben and his team were extremely friendly and welcoming.

Very good experience. I have never lived in a thatched house. Sri Lankan dishes are not used to me. I discussed with the boss. I made it myself. She agreed. The daily charge is Rs 250, which is very reasonable. Thank you! Will go again next time.

A nice complex! The employees are welcoming, kind and great! The pool is top. The little bath too! The rooms are spacious and clean ! The outdoor bathroom is very nice! Opportunity to play sports on outdoor equipment, kayak, kite, billiards and I forget! The food is good ! We had 5 wonderful days! A big thank you to the whole team !

I had the most amazing time at Ruuk Village. The Volkswagen was super cosy and the area in general gorgeous. The food was delicious and the people super friendly. I had some kitesurf lessons which I also enjoyed very much. I also loved that it is runned by locals and that they are focussing on sustainability. I felt really welcome and I would highly recommend Ruuk Village!
