Monthly Rentals in Kottantivu

An amazing location with very friendly and responsive hosts! They are doing a lot to protect the local landscape (especially turtles) and are knowledgeable about the area!

The place was excellent as advertised. The staff made our stay even better always keeping us fed with excellent food and mid day juices.

Samith was extremely helpful and responsive. The hotel is beautiful and we chose to stay in the stylish wooden beach chalets. As an eco lodge, there is no air conditioning but the fans and chalets were perfectly cool. There is also no heated water but so the showers are warmer in the afternoon on a hot day but cold all day if it’s a cloudy day! Kalpitiya is very windy, and therefore, a great destination for kite surfing which was really fun, even for a beginner! It is a great alternative if you want some peace and quiet. The food was fantastic, especially if you happen to be there for their bbq nights which has seasonal produce including fresh fish, squid, prawns, chicken etc. The only slight criticism is that some stretches of beach are littered with plastic, which is common to other parts of Sri Lanka, although it is clear that the hotel has made efforts to go green and I would thoroughly recommend it!

John & Jos were great host so welcoming lots of knowledge about the area. Around for you if needed but also you had privacy. Their restaurant is well worth the visit. Accommodation is very rustic just the sort of place I like. You are also very central. I had a scooter the time I was there and I feel it’s a must John and Jo’s can put you in contact regarding the hiring of one. You don’t have to have one but you get to see so much more if you do. The kitesurfing could be amazing here but I had no wind apart from a day at the other lagoon which John & Jos showed me where it was not to far)) If you would like to see more about the place please visit my YouTube channel has I have episodes about my stay here @oneman3bags. Thanks again guys for being great host!))) xx 🤙🙏🌍🌈✈️💕
