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

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.

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.

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!

Beautiful property on a gorgeous stretch of beach. Secluded and quiet, with private bungalows and an excellent restaurant. Beautiful private outdoor showers and big soaker bathtubs. The beds are firm but otherwise the bungalows are spacious and well equipped.

Stunning hotel. Loved the architecture and style, very contemporary and in harmony with the elements. My garden tented room was very comfy and the private garden / beach super secluded . The outdoor cascade shower was amongst luxuriant plants that got showered as I did! Excellent recycling of water!
Staff was delightful. A special thanks to the wonderful Kapil at reception who got out of his way to help me get a train.
Food was delicious. Pool was so amazing and the beach pretty wild. Very windy as it is the rainy season . I did get some rain, a full day of it. But got two days of sun / overcast. I still do not regret coming out of season. It was an excellent stay.

Beautiful beachside property with individual bungalows with all of the amenities! Soft sand and crystal clear water. Beautiful pool, great restaurant, and amazing staff. No tv in the room but there is a room near the restaurant with tv, computers, books, and children’s play area. Rooms are very spacious with a separate seating area and a lovely outdoor shower in addition to an indoor bathtub.

Amazin place with unbelievable views and privacy! You really have to experience this place yourself!
The only place for improvment would in my opinion be the service. While the service is currently friendly and well-intentioned, it is by no means polished. This will likely get better as the staff members get more experience

Karpaha Sands is well hidden, feels exclusive, and is full of the most sincere and accommodating staff, led by manager Noel. We were surprised by the beauty, comfort, and hospitality of this resort. Don't be surprised by the to (2km) dirt road or the lack of liquor license (currently) - the secret Sandy Beach and the juice bar far makes up for any inconveniences. You'll never want to leave.
