Enquire Now!

Set on a pristine private beach on an undeveloped area of Sri Lanka’s East Coast, Karpaha Sands is an intimate, luxury resort that perfectly blends tented accommodation with 5* luxury. With endless fine sand, a beautifully curved bay and safe-to-swim turquoise waters, it’s the ideal spot to indulge in a little down-time; unwind under an ocean of swaying palm trees, watch the calm horizon and fall under the spell of Sri Lanka’s undoubtedly most stunning beach. A secluded oasis, the name of the game at Karpaha is relaxation; pamper yourself with a treatment in the Ayurevedic spa, dip in the infinity pool and tuck into some exquisite seafood caught by local Tamil fishermen just offshore. If you can bear to drag yourself away, then hop in a Tuk Tuk up the coast to Passikudah to enjoy the vast array of watersports on offer. All-in-all Karpaha Sands is a blissful haven of tranquility and not to be missed!

HOLIDAYS TO KARPAHA SANDS

While Sri Lanka’s Southern beaches are experiencing monsoon rains, the East Coast is swathed in glorious sunshine and is best visited between April and September. Karpaha Sands can either be incorporated as part of a circular itinerary or at the end of a trip with a short flight from the nearby Batticaloa airport back to Colombo. We have designed many holidays that include Karpaha Sands – each different to the next – get in touch to start designing your holiday and take advantage of our expertise.

Our team have visited Karpaha Sands – ask us anything about staying here – call 01273 923100.

Karpaha Sands has 17 spacious luxury tented suites each with an ensuite bathroom, outdoor shower, private terrace and sunloungers. Don’t be fooled by the term ‘tent’ as these suites are as luxurious as they come! The 9 Palam Suites are right on the beachfront so you can wake up to incredible views of the ocean, while the 6 Kolaya Suites offer a large private garden for a touch more privacy. The 2 Seed Suites are best suited to families with two interconnecting bedrooms, two bathrooms and a private terrace and garden.

Conceived as a place to showcase and nurture local artists, Karpaha Sands also has an enchanting collection of sculptures and paintings as well as a library and games area.

Though Karpaha does not serve alcohol, you are more than welcome to bring your own along.

    Pronunciation: ˈsʌnˌdaʊnə Definition: That perfect time of day, to kick-back, ponder the day's adventures, admire the surrounding views & partake of a local drink that refreshes, relaxes and tells you, without fail, that you are on holiday.
