“A collection of cabanas and villas metres from the beach. Rooms are decorated with bright, pop colours, a sit out terrace and huge outdoor showers (in some a bath). The restaurant serves a buffet breakfast and fresh seafood. There is a pool and spa. This is barefoot luxury at a reasonable price. ”

Hotel Review
Recommended for
- Beach Life
- Some of the cabanas are so close to the water if they were any closer you'd get swept away with the tide.
- Romantic Break
- The four poster beds, private cabanas and sunsets make this a perfect romantic stay.
- Families
- Kids are well looked after here with plenty of on site activities and private beach

Sri Lanka: island in the storm
We cut across salt pans and through wind farms, taking red-dust roads until we arrive at Alankuda Beach, home to Palagama Beach resort and four neighbouring properties. These were bought by Balmond and several friends some years back, and each has created its own idea of paradise.

COOL WATERS IN SRI LANKA
A finger of land extending out into the Indian Ocean from halfway up Sri Lanka's west coast, Kalpitiya is mostly home to fishermen, but its sparsely beautiful beaches are drawing a growing crowd in search of some of the world's best kite-surfing between May and September. Ambitions to develop it as a mass tourist destination have recently stalled, meaning just a handful of hotels make up the emerging beach scene.
