An oasis on an incredible beach, no other resorts within miles, great food and beverage at reasonable prices given the standard of resort and service received. Staff are impeccable delivering a luxurious experience in a no fuss manner. A small point, the spa facility does not match the standard of the overall facility though the massage itself was very good. We count our blessings in having stayed here, there aren’t many unspoilt beach destinations like this anymore, the facility, staff and F&B top it off. We hope to return one day.

This was our second time staying there with our family and we LOVED every second of it. The staff is hands down the best. The beach is the best you will find in Sri Lanka for swimming. The food and atmosphere is unmatched. Highly recommend Karpaha to anyone. Will be going back when we are in Sri Lanka again.

Always friendly, helpful, attentive, and courteous. A great team. Many thanks to Nisanthan for his support throughout our entire holiday. We will definitely come back.

A hidden gem in the unexplored east coast side of Sri Lanka. The property offers some of the best coastlines in Sri Lanka. The villas are very artfully crafted for a nominal price. The butler service has been absolutely fantastic and Ash has been always smiling and warm. The food is delicious and has a ton of vegetarian and vegan options. Highly recommend this place.

Beautiful place off the beaten track. Nice and clean despite the sand trying to get in. Friendly and serviceminded staff treating all guests with humor and big smiles. Best coffee on the east coast - probably thanks to the italian GM!

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. A little slice of paradise

Comfort at great value

Very relaxing, but you must accept that you will be isolated and captive to dining at premises.

Wonderful resort! 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!

Von vorne bis hinten ein hervorragender Aufenthalt! Unser Butler Namal hat einen sehr guten Job gemacht und uns jeden Wunsch erfüllt. Auch Umberto (Manager) ist stets darum bemüht das alles seine Ordnung hat. Zudem hat uns der Umgang mit den Hunden gefallen. Sie werden gefüttert und auch der Tierarzt kommt alle paar Wochen vorbei. Wir werden wiederkommen!

Et magisk sted med hav, basseng og fantastiske bongalower. Maten var utsøkt, vinene gode, alle som jobbet var fantastiske. Det kan være greit å 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 sjåfør :)
