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. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b2c56042-3f79-40a2-980d-0dcd3cb7ae07-1750508321264.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/649d4466-13af-4a3a-84da-74de3f3540fc-1750508321614.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Hamish Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Markus Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We had a wonderful holiday at Karpaha Sands, lacking nothing.

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.

Hidden on the beach made it private and exclusive. ##### Tim Stayed 1 night in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Feb 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities 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! ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oscar Feb 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Comfort at great value Very relaxing, but you must accept that you will be isolated and captive to dining at premises. ##### Oscar Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marit Mar 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Good ##### Marit Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stefan Oct 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt halt. ##### Stefan Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Edwin van Sep 22, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Unieke locatie, alles tot in de puntjes geregeld.

Unser Butler Namal hat einen sehr guten Job gemacht und uns jeden Wunsch erfüllt. Auch Umberto (Manager) ist stets darum bemüht das alles seine Ordnung hat. Zudem hat uns der Umgang mit den Hunden gefallen. Sie werden gefüttert und auch der Tierarzt kommt alle paar Wochen vorbei. Wir werden wiederkommen! ##### Caesar Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nadine Jan 5, 2025 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Ein besseres Hotel hatte ich bis jetzt noch nie.

Maten var utsøkt, vinene gode, alle som jobbet var fantastiske. Det kan være greit å vite at stedet er veldig isolert, og at det er fugler som synger ved soloppgang! Vi ble hentet av Babu i en stor bil den 6 timer kjøreturen. Han var en ypperlig sjåfør :) ##### Tonje Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Marie Julie Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Magnifique ! Chambre spacieuse et tres bien équipée. Tres bonne restauration (petit dej et repas). La piscine est tres agreable et slargement sugfisement grande pour la taille de l'hôtel (peu de chambres). Equipe professionnel. La plage est propre et les pecheurs viennent relever les filets juste devant l'hôtel. Chouette à regarder! ##### Marie Julie Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christian Jun 26, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Tolles Resort für Badeferien Etwas abgelegen, ruhig liegt das Traumresort an einem wunderschönen Strand an der wenig bekannten Ostküste Sri Lankas. Grossartige Family Villa, bestens ausgestattet, hervorragender Service und gutes Essen. Uneingeschränkt zu empfehlen. ##### Christian Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Big Game - Wilpattu by Eco Team](https://www.expedia.ca/Pahala-Maragahawewa-Hotels-Big-Game-Wilpattu-By-Eco-Team.h11718319.Hotel-Information) > > [Lagoon Waves](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-Lagoon-Waves.h96138318.Hotel-Information) > > [Panorama Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.ca/Beruwala-Hotels-Beruwala-Panorama-Hotel.h20581040.Hotel-Information) > > [Paddyway Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Paddyway-Resort.h94750644.Hotel-Information) > > [Traveller's Home Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Travellers-Home-Hotel.h16207011.Hotel-Information) > > [Saffron Lake Yala](https://www.expedia.ca/Thissamaharama-Hotels-Saffron-Lake-Yala.h101432372.Hotel-Information) > > [Dream Cliff Mountain Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Hildummulla-Hotels-Dream-Cliff-Mountain-Resort.h42548366.Hotel-Information) > > [MRD Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Trincomalee-Hotels-Mrdbeachhotel.h46261381.Hotel-Information) > > [Ella Deck Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-Ella-Deck-Resort.h107262491.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue Diamond Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Trincomalee-Hotels-Blue-Diamond-Resort.h102374878.Hotel-Information) > > [La Casa Udawalawe](https://www.expedia.ca/Embilipitiya-Hotels-La-Casa-Udawalawe.h39068049.Hotel-Information) > > [R Degrees Boutique Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ambalangoda-Hotels-R-Degrees-Ambalangoda.h16627242.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Wave Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Beach-Wave-Hotel.h18243801.Hotel-Information) > > [Flower Garden Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weerawila-Hotels-Flower-Garden-Resort.h21620545.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Villa 700](https://www.expedia.ca/Induruwa-Hotels-Villa-700.h23062064.Hotel-Information) > > [98 Acres Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Hotels-98-Acres-Resort-Spa.h15504051.Hotel-Information) > > [Fresco Water Villa](https://www.expedia.ca/Sigiriya-Hotels-Fresco-Water-Villa.h11463091.Hotel-Information) > > [Jetwing Surf & Safari, A Luxury Reserve](https://www.expedia.ca/Pottuvil-Hotels-Jetwing-Surf.h19959056.Hotel-Information) > > [Oceanfront Nilaveli by ICC](https://www.expedia.ca/Nilaveli-Hotels-Ocean-Front-Condos.h35766159.Hotel-Information) > > [Arne's Place The Friendliest Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Arnes-Place-The-Friendliest-Hotel.h45786442.Hotel-Information) > > [Oruthota Chalets](https://www.expedia.ca/Oruthota-Chalets.h9848684.Hotel-Information) > > [Tropicana homestay](https://www.expedia.ca/Arugam-Bay-Hotels-Tropicana-Homestay.h23164022.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea View Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Nilaveli-Hotels-Sea-View-Beach-Hotel.h23684640.Hotel-Information) > > [Sunstar](https://www.expedia.ca/Nilaveli-Hotels-Sunstar.h26724732.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Weerawila-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Weerawila-Rajawarna-Resort.h23701470.Hotel-Information) > > [Wild Wadi wilpattu ](https://www.expedia.ca/Wild-Wadi-Wilpattu.h100544326.Hotel-Information) > > [House of Ahasna](https://www.expedia.ca/Seeduwa-Katunayake-Hotels-House-Of-Ahasna.h33143768.Hotel-Information) > > [Ella Sashen Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Ella-Sashen-Hotel.h22874252.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Resort Galle](https://www.expedia.ca/Galle-Hotels-Amari-Galle.h16267123.Hotel-Information)
