Lagoon view bungalows
The lagoon-view bungalows have open-air bathrooms at the back, with lush tropical plants and ever-changing artwork. The open-air bathrooms were inspired by feedback from our guests, who dreamt of showering under the palm trees and stars. We also add new graffiti every few days to make each visit a unique experience.
At the front of your spacious room, you'll find a large private terrace overlooking the lagoon. Watch the local wildlife, birds, fish and crabs go about their business. You may even see traditional fishermen at work.

Kite Surf - 2024
We have some of the best kitesurfing conditions for beginners to learn this amazing sport: warm, shallow, flat water, constant wind and IKO-certified instructors.
Whether you're a beginner or have already tried kitesurfing, our experienced, IKO-certified instructors will guide you along the path to becoming a confident, independent kitesurfer. We offer group and private lessons tailored to your level and progress. We love this sport and we're sure you will too!
As with any new skill, learning to kitesurf is an uphill battle, but well worth it! Anyone can learn to kitesurf, and we've taught people of all shapes, sizes and ages - from toddlers to grandfathers, and they've all had a great time.
The beauty of the IKO system is that the whole progression to becoming an independent kitesurfer is broken down into small victories. So no matter where you are in the lessons, you'll be motivated to keep going.
Kite School
On average, students need between 9 and 12 hours to get on the board and surf, but this depends a lot on the individual. We recommend that you commit to a minimum of 3 days of lessons to learn how to ride. A typical day consists of 3 hours of lessons in the morning and 2 hours of lessons in the afternoon (in total about 5 hours of lessons per day).
- For the best experience, you should be reasonably comfortable in the water if you want to learn to kitesurf.
- Good balance and muscle strength can make learning to kitesurf easier!
- Have fun on a board or try wakeboarding to get a head start.
- If you have any injuries or health problems, consult your doctor first and inform your kite instructor.

Diving courses and excursions
Kalpitiya's scuba diving and marine scene is vastly underrated compared to the rest of Sri Lanka. The marine life, both micro and macro, is abundant and diverse. Unlike in the south of the country, we're usually the only ones in the water - you'll have the luxury of seeing the whole underwater world from miles away.
We have some nice spots with large schools of fish, giant moray eels and sea slugs. We've also seen whale sharks, marbled torpedoes, even sperm whales and blue whales during surface intervals!
Kalpitiya is also an excellent place to learn to dive. The water is warm, it's not too crowded and the local instructors are interesting and fun.

Yoga
Yoga helps prevent injury and shortens recovery time between kiteboarding sessions. It can be an excellent complementary exercise to kiteboarding, helping to improve your flexibility, strength and balance, as well as strengthening your mind.
A yoga session generally consists of a number of long stretches that work mainly on the lower body (hips, pelvis, lower back, knees). These stretches are combined with slow, deep breathing. This type of yoga can be practised at all levels, from beginner to advanced. After taking a few yoga classes on our open-air terrace, you may find that you want to incorporate yoga into your daily life.
Price: €10 / per hour
Private lessons are available on request
