- From US$88 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.7Good - What previous guests thought, 111 reviewsThe hotel is great, clean and spacious, located just by the kitesurfing beach so it is perfect for kitesurfers. There are beautiful trees and palm trees in the surrounding garden, big swimming pool and very kind staff. We were more than happy to stay there and regretted we couldn't stay longer. The restaurant offers very tasty food for good price. I only regret that Sri Lankan people don't support local dogs that wander in the area, scared of humans and terribly hungry. If there was a special fund to support the animals I would definitely pay more for our stay so that the dogs can get fed. Apart from that we loved our stay and we will definitely be back! The place in our opinion is better than Kitesurfing Lanka that is next door.Guest review byGabriela GuaranaPoland
- From US$165.12 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.1Very good - What previous guests thought, 122 reviewsIt's extremely great and cool. It's the most beautiful resort you can imagine. The nature inside and around the resort is spectacular. The kayaking experience was great. The staff are amazing. The breakfast was amazing (inc many veg and vegan options). The pool was amazing and you can relax besides it even after closing time (7 pm). The route was easily accessible without any issue. There's a tuk tuk taxi station right in front of the gate. The lunch was amazing. The rooms are with classic design and little old but clean and very beautiful with the most spectacular view.Guest review byMatin ShaerpourOman
- From US$369.46 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 9.0Superb - What previous guests thought, 30 reviewsPerfect stay at the Karanukarala Ayurveda resort, especially the Ayurveda treatment was wonderful. In the beginning, the crew told me it was fully booked, but in the end, they managed to schedule it for me. The room was big, and really clean and the beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay there, especially to relax (recommend the yoga and meditation classes).Guest review byFloorNetherlands

Full day safari was excellent. Saw everything. 5 leopards. Sloth bear. Elephants. Cross. Water Buffalo. And many more. If you have to choose I revommend afteroon from 4pm for best chance of seeing animals when it gets cooler and they become active for the evening .Guest review byDarrenUnited Kingdom - 10.0
Kalpitiya is an enchanting destination.
Kalpitiya is an enchanting destination. It's the only place in Sri Lanka where you can take kitesurfing lessons and safely practice kitesurfing with expert assistance from seasoned local kitesufers. Although it's generally considered an arid landscape, even in August, one of the driest months in Sri Lanka, it was largely green and without sweltering heat. Probably, the strong wind causes the heat to dissipate. There's a long stretch of fairly clean beach to explore. Many hotels to stay in and many restaurants to dine at. If you take the train from the Colombo fort railway station like me, you can get down at Palaviya station and walk about 100 metres to reach the road leading from Palaviya to Kalpitiya and take a bus from there and then get down at either Kurinjipitiya or Kalpitiya depending on where you plan to visit and/or stay in. Apart from Kitesurfing, you can go sightseeing, see dolphins, bask in the sunshine, take boat tours, cycle and more in Kalpitiya.Guest review byJayashantha84Sri Lanka - 8.0

The Manager of the hotel and his staff (including 3 dogs and a cat) are above any praise. If you seek for a well organized place to rest without problems do come to Puetz Travels Beach Resort. Mr. Marcus will make your trip a real holyday. Even wild crocodiles that live in the nearby river dream to move to the magic canals of Puetz Travels Beach Resort. I wish i were among the lucky ones.

Kalpitiya is a very beautiful destination. A place to stay for a few days. There are many places for you to enjoy and visit. But be careful when you find a place to stop. Be more careful with low-cost places. Dinuda Villas is a very beautiful place. Babzy and the team are doing very well.Guest review byLiam NoahFrance - 10.0

We planed our trip for three days.
We planed our trip for three days. There are several places to visit in Kalpitiya. We went to Kalpitiya Dutch fort, also Kalpitiya Dutch church. St. Anne's National Shrine is located nearby. It is known as Thalawila Church too. No matter what religion you follow, St. Anne’s Church in Thalawila is one of the most ancient and wonderful of all Christian shrines in Sri Lanka. Our third day was very exiting because we planned a boat ride to Baththalangunduwa island. Baththalangunduwa is an island off the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka, reachable from Kalpitiya. The boat ride from Kalpitiya is roughly 32 kilometers long and takes approximately 3.5 hours. Camping on this island is becoming increasingly popular among local tourists.Guest review byChathurangaSri Lanka
