Unreachable for 30 years and once billed as Sri Lanka’s prime beach destination before the civil war, the east coast is re-opening its doors, offering its natural and cultural treasures, including the country’s most wonderful beaches for those in search of adventure and idyllic new vistas.
The owners of Karpaha Sands have created an uber luxury resort to reflect all the luxurious elements they have sampled on their various holidays around the world. Like an oasis in the desert, Karpaha Sands is the only resort on the beautifully curved bay of Kalkudah to offer 17 private luxury tented spacious suites for discerning travellers to indulge in a spot of glamping.
Location
The 17 double and family luxury tents straddle the pristine, peaceful, sandy grounds along with an infinity pool, a garden spa and a double-storey restaurant and bar, all of which offer superb ocean panoramas. The beach which is the preserve of the local fishermen stretches endlessly and one of the delights is that you can observe them at close quarters or join in if you wish as they haul their nets after casting.
