Kalkudah Beach House

The east coast is more remote than the south or west, so travel times are longer but with the reward of peace and space

Facilities are designed for slow living, expect simplicity and tranquillity rather than resort-style activity menus

The house’s open design enhances the connection with nature but also means you may hear the sounds of the ocean, wind and wildlife at night

•Both villas are well suited to families or groups, with multiple bedrooms and generous shared spaces

Children are warmly welcomed, with space to play on the lawns or splash in the pool

Built with sensitivity to its coastal setting, incorporating sustainable energy and water systems

The villa interiors celebrate local craftsmanship, while ingredients are sourced from nearby markets and fishermen to support the community

Situated in Kalkudah, on Sri Lanka’s east coast, around six hours by road from Colombo or accessible via a domestic flight to Batticaloa followed by a short transfer

Within easy reach of the Cultural Triangle, making it possible to combine beachside calm with cultural exploration
