Direct Beach Location with beautiful garden that provided the right amount of shadow. Sea view from all rooms. Extraordinary service: the team even organized us another room to rest until we could check in into our booked room since we arrived already early in the morning.

My stay at JKL Maha Oya Villa was a true pleasure. This newly opened place is a small paradise — a beautiful, well-kept garden, a refreshing swimming pool, and the gentle Maha Oya river flowing right next door. From the very first moment, I felt completely at home. The staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring, always ready to help with a smile. The area is wonderfully quiet, making it an ideal place for deep rest, yoga, meditation, or simply stepping out of the busy rhythm of everyday life for a few days. The view from the veranda of my room was absolutely awesome — peaceful, green, and deeply calming, perfect for morning tea or watching the evening settle in. A beautiful little jewel yet to be discovered — I can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone looking for serenity, comfort, and authentic hospitality.

This is quite simply an exceptional hotel, made so not only by our beautiful room and the surroundings, but by Mark and the team of people who made our stay so special. This is one we will always remember for being unique and idylic. Our kayak on the lake with Ravi was fantastic and Ravi's knowledge about the wildlife was exceptional. The whole team were there at 4.30am to ensure we had everything we could possibly ask for before our early morning safari. I can not praise our stay highly enough and we would have loved to have stayed for longer. Thank you Mark and everyone who made our stay so very perfect.

I really enjoyed my stay. The wooden bungalows are very rustic and cozy, with open roofing and an outdoor shower. The garden is well-maintained too. The school has a WhatsApp group where they share information about lesson planning, wind conditions, and activities, which I found really well-organized. Dinners are served with all the guests at the kite center, which was just 5 minutes away by bike. Safran was my instructor. He is very experienced and teaches in a great way—always calm, helpful, and full of good advice. I made great progress thanks to him. I felt like in a kitesurf community . Thanks a lot to Safran and all the Margarita staff!

The entire experience was just amazing! Food was delicious and the dinner under the stars just magical. I believe we got upgraded to a bigger and more fancy tent than we actually booked and it was spacious, clean and comfortable. The evening walk was awesome we got to see all kinds of creatures and learned a lot. Wilpattu park is beautiful but unfortunately we weren’t lucky enough to see the big animals so in case you really want to be sure, book more than one safari.

Perfect stay at the Karanukarala Ayurveda resort, especially the Ayurveda treatment was wonderful. In the beginning, the crew told me it was fully booked, but in the end, they managed to schedule it for me. The room was big, and really clean and the beds were very comfortable. I enjoyed my stay there, especially to relax (recommend the yoga and meditation classes).

Kalpitiya is an enchanting destination.

Kalpitiya is an enchanting destination. It's the only place in Sri Lanka where you can take kitesurfing lessons and safely practice kitesurfing with expert assistance from seasoned local kitesufers. Although it's generally considered an arid landscape, even in August, one of the driest months in Sri Lanka, it was largely green and without sweltering heat. Probably, the strong wind causes the heat to dissipate. There's a long stretch of fairly clean beach to explore. Many hotels to stay in and many restaurants to dine at. If you take the train from the Colombo fort railway station like me, you can get down at Palaviya station and walk about 100 metres to reach the road leading from Palaviya to Kalpitiya and take a bus from there and then get down at either Kurinjipitiya or Kalpitiya depending on where you plan to visit and/or stay in. Apart from Kitesurfing, you can go sightseeing, see dolphins, bask in the sunshine, take boat tours, cycle and more in Kalpitiya.

You need a car or a Tuk Tuk to take you anywhere as it is away from any shops ect The hotel was very helpful and arranged a Tuk Tuk to take us to the market and religious site. Be mindful regarding the beaches as they are not fit to swim in due to the plastic rubbish and pollution in the water. We went for a walk on the beach but came back after a few hundred metres as it was too depressing to go any further due to the plastic rubbish all over the beach and the millions of microplastic balls that we thought were stones and then realised what it was. Very disturbing

Beautiful nature of the national park with the possibility of observing many wild animals, a paradise for bird watchers. If you are lucky, you can see a leopard or elephants. Very good accessibility by bus from Anuradhapura. Near the entrance to the park there is a large selection of accommodation and safari providers.
