Staying at Kitesurf Lanka feels more like hanging out at a laid-back beach house with friends than staying at a typical resort. Set on a quiet stretch of beach in Kalpitiya, this eco-friendly retreat blends kitesurfing, nature, and a warm community vibe.

You can sleep in treehouses, bungalows, or glamping-style tents, all scattered through a garden full of palms, hammocks, and sandy paths. The whole place has a creative, easygoing feel—there’s art on the walls, chill-out zones everywhere, and an open-air restaurant where everyone gathers for fresh, local food.

The kiting here is world-class. The Kalpitiya Lagoon, right in front of the property, is perfect for beginners, while experienced riders can take boat trips to remote flatwater spots and do epic downwinders along the coast.

They also offer trips to dream locations like Vella Island and Magic Spot, with consistent wind and wide-open space. The team is friendly, international, and stoked to help riders progress or just have a blast on the water.

But it’s not just about kiting. There’s daily yoga, a full-service massage and spa area, stand-up paddleboarding, and even projects you can get involved in, like beach cleanups or permaculture gardening.

It’s the kind of place where solo travelers, couples, and families all find their rhythm—whether that’s chasing wind, unplugging completely, or just hanging with good people under the stars.
