Sea Sand Resort

nice, quite place. rooms were clean and homely. Staff was very helpful

room amenities like a kettle, tea/coffee/water and cloths rack should have made this perfect

Heel gezellige hutjes, vlakbij het strand, vriendelijke behulpzame hosts en het eten in het restaurant is verrukkelijk!

Location was excellent with a short walk to the beach for sunset. We each had our own bungalow with nice air conditioning. The hammock was relaxing and i used the line outside my room to dry my beach clothes. We were visiting in march when the baby turtle hatchlings were being released into the ocean. It was amazing.

Super locatie op loopafstand van het strand en restaurantjes. Fijn huisje, aardige eigenaren/personeel en het ontbijt was super goed. Prijs/kwaliteit verhouding heel goed.

Geen warm water en de badkamer is gedeeltelijk open waardoor er best wat insecten binnen komen. We mistte een waterkoker in het huisje.

Excellent location walking to the beach. Theres a line to dry our wet clothes at each unit. A/C made a big difference. Sabina and her team were excellent hosts in all ways. They helped us with tuk tuk transportation. On a holiday we needed to convert USD to LKR when the banks were closed. Breakfasts were excellent. We had the omelette and smoothie bowl. She recommended other restaurants also. My favorite activity was sunset on the beach and seeing the olive ridley turtle hatching s. It was prime season so we saw them on 4 evenings. We saw whales and lots of dolphins. We loved our stay at Sea Sand

Friendly staff very helpful with everything. In walking distance from the beach. Delicious restaurant and possibility to rent free games :)

Everything was perfect. Lovely cabins and owners and a short walk to the sea where you can swim or watch the fishermen. Would definitely stay again.

Nothing...everything was great

C est bien , gens aimables, Repas sont excellent vraiment très bonne cuisine

L emplacement est un peu ennuyeux

Es un lugar que se respira paz , muy tranquilo y donde puedes descansar.Las personas que lo llevan nos ayudaron en todo momento haciéndonos sentir como en casa . La comida está muy rica. Está situado muy cerca de la playa . Solo puedo decir palabras de gratitud . Sin duda volveré

No poderme quedar más tiempo

Mooie huisjes en vlak bij het strand waar ze baby schildpadden de zee in laten.

Wij hadden een chauffeur die ons alleen bracht en ophaalde. Het personeel deed erg onbeschoft tegen beide chauffeurs. De chauffeur die ons ophaalde belde om 8:30 op maandagochtend naar de receptie. dit vond de eigenaar niet fijn omdat hij nog sliep en dat lieten ze ons ook merken. Wij hebben dit als onprettig en onprofessioneel ervaren.

Good vibes, sand and palm trees, decent beach a short walk away, room and bed both clean and comfortable. Nice and helpful hosts.

Food nice but pricey, and a barely-flagged 10% service charge added, unusual for Sri Lanka & felt a bit sneaky.

Possibilté de faire une sortie pour voir les dauphins

Trop isolé

Location superb, very quiet and chill place, top class cleanliness,2 min walking to the beach, 10 min easy walk to kitesurfing school/spot. Scooter rental next door at 3000 rupees p/d. Secure,cosy,friendly place with tasty foods from the restaurant.

A kettle in a room would be very nice as the bar opens only 8:30 and if you wake up early would be nice to make a cuppa and just sit outside ,relax and enjoy ,but now you have to wait till the bar opens or go and look for it somewhere else. Good value for money also.

Een heerlijke plek vlakbij het strand en restaurantjes. Het eten wat ze maken is erg lekker. Werken hard om het iedereen naar de zin te maken. Zorgen lief voor de drie hondjes en de kat. Allemaal gered van de straat. Maakt het daarom ook huiselijk. Het is rustig, goed verzorgd en kraakwit beddengoed. Wij komen zeker terug!

Een tip zou zijn om een waterkoker met kopjes te kunnen gebruiken.

Quiet, like the rest of Kalpitiya

Austere cold water showers. Restaurant closed for all meals on Mondays

Amazing place, only the water should be for free

Het ontbijt is bij het restaurant van de accommodatie en bestaat uit verschillende westerse items, ik heb ze allemaal geproeft en kan met zekerheid zeggen dat ze stuk voor stuk heerlijk waren! Prijs was ok goed + goeie koffie (moeilijk te vinden hier). De hosts zijn fantastisch lief en helpen je met alles wat je nodig hebt, will deff stay again!

Niks

Value for money and near to the beach

Less privacy and accessibility

Good clean room with AC

Portion of the meals rather small

La comida es excepcional. Sabina siempre estuvo dándome consejos y aceptó sin inconvenientes que cancelara una noche. Muchas gracias.

Breakfast

De kamers zijn ruim en schoon, fijne badkamer, erg vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel! Een fijne plek, waar je echt tot rust kan komen. Het eten is ook erg goed op deze plek, zeker aan te raden om hier te ontbijten en te dineren!

Als we iets moeten noemen zou het de matrassen zijn, die waren een beetje hard.

We had a truly wonderful stay at Sea Sand Resort. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. The food was absolutely amazing – fresh, flavorful, and exactly as shown in the photos, which is rare these days! The resort is excellent for couples and solos looking for a relaxing getaway, but as a family with two kids, we still had an amazing time.

The only minor downside was a slight smell from the bathroom water, but it didn’t affect our overall experience.

Super liebe und hilfsbereite Crew! Sehr gepflegtes Resort, das Essen ist fabelhaft. Die Zimmer sind sehr gemütlich, es hat alles was es braucht. Wären gerne länger geblieben, nur die Kite-Bedingungen waren etwas ungünstig.

Abbiamo soggiornato nei bungalow e devo dire che sono davvero molto carini, sia all’esterno che all’interno. Le stanze erano pulite, la cucina ottima e un grande punto a favore è la possibilità di parcheggiare all’interno della struttura. Inoltre, sorprendentemente, non abbiamo avuto problemi con le zanzare.

Purtroppo ci sono alcuni aspetti negativi che credo vadano segnalati: l’ACQUA CALDA NON C'E' (non si tratta di un guasto ma di una scelta costruttiva). Questo dettaglio ci è stato comunicato con un msg (che non abbiamo letto) solo dopo la prenotazione, ma penso sarebbe giusto evidenziarlo chiaramente nella descrizione principale. Il materasso è piuttosto basso e poco comodo, e il lavandino del bagno era sporco, a differenza della camera che era invece pulita. Un altro punto migliorabile è la porta trasparente del bagno, sarebbe sufficiente aggiungere una tendina per garantire un minimo di privacy (io ho dovuto arrangiarmi con un foulard). Nel complesso il soggiorno è stato piacevole, ma con qualche piccolo accorgimento potrebbe essere davvero perfetto.

I had the absolute pleasure of staying at this truly stunning resort, and it was nothing short of a dream. Each guest has their own little bungalow – mine was incredibly cozy, spotlessly clean, and beautifully designed, with a lovely terrace perfect for relaxing. There are only 10 bungalows in the entire property, which makes the atmosphere wonderfully peaceful and personal. The resort also has a restaurant, and I can only say: the food was fantastic! Whether breakfast or dinner, every meal was prepared with so much love and tasted absolutely amazing. The setting and ambiance made it even more special. What truly put the icing on the cake, though, were the wonderful hosts, Sabina and Avi. They are such warm, charming people, and I was lucky enough to spend two unforgettable evenings with them. Their kindness and hospitality made my stay extra special. Thank you so much for everything – I can wholeheartedly recommend this place!

Excellent warm welcome Arranged boat trip in the lagoon, which was memorable It's one of the best breakfasts so far Loved the patio outside the hut Definitely recommend 👌

Leuke bungalows vlakbij strand! Rustige omgeving, maar wel leuke horeca in de buurt. Terrasjes bij de bungalows waren erg goed uitgerust met zitjes, stopcontacten en lampen.

Nice little house with a simple bedroom and basic bathroom. There was a very chill vibe with the other guests and the owners. It is close to the beach. I would recommend to take the extra AC option because without it is really hot to sleep at night.

The staff is amazing. We've had great food every day. Avi sent us many tips for the next trips. Our Tuktuk broke down and it was a whole hassle but the staff remained calm and helped us out! We couldn't thank them enough. The rooms are spacious and close to the beach. We got free beach towels to use for our beach day. Unlimited water refills to reduce plastic, I love it! Very chill vibes.

The bed was too short for my partner, but he's almost 2m.

We did not expect much,because of the price was low compared to other places,but men was I wrong. Accomodation is clean and well managed,but what really bought me, was the staff and their dedication to make your stay easy and effortless..big thx to Sanju and his Dad,Avi and rest of the crew,we felt like part of the family there.Great and even beyond value for money. Big hugs to all 3 dogs...❤️ Luka

None

We stayed only one night at the beginning of the season in Kalpitiya, and we had a great stay here. The chalets are spacious, modern and super clean, the bathrooms were huge as well. The courtyard had also a great vibe with the sand and the palm trees providing some shade. The staff were super friendly and accommodating - we also had breakfast here and coffee, both were great choices.

It took a while to get our meals and drinks, it was only one staff member running the place - this could probably be improved (maybe things are faster in the main season).

It was very clean and the staff is lovely 🙏🏼

You might need a scooter if you want to go to the city as it‘s a little outside

Sea Sand Resort was the perfect place to stay for a weekend in Kalpitiya. The room was clean, modern, and comfortable - the AC was necessary given the heat. The breakfast and dinner was delicious, and the resort is close to another great place to eat in Kalpitiya (Cafe of Questions). There are bikes available for guests, though we didn't use them. The property was quiet and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommend!

Nice place near the beach, comfortable beds, super tasty food, cute dogs 😊

Short walk to the beach, the village is fairly remote so feels like a real adventure. Very helpful host who organised Wilpattu safari for us.

We said we were happy to have a fan rather than aircon but we did struggle to sleep with the heat & mosquitos (nets provided were great though).

An amazing stay - everyone was so so helpful in organising things for us, and it was a great place to chill and relax after a long day travelling. The owners are so friendly and the team that work there are so brilliant too. Food was great and the pets were also a delight. Thanks for having us and all your help!

It was a very quit place, the house was clean, the dogs en cat were so cute and the staff was really nice and helpfull. The man who worked there even helped us repair our tire from the tuktuk. The property is very close to a couple nice beachclubs/bars. The breakfast we had at the property was very good!

It was close to the beach, no insects in the room, A/C was working. The room/bedsheets/towels were clean.

The washroom is kind of outside, so many spiders there. Only cold water to shower. The basin was a bit dirty. Few options to hang up towels and other stuff in the room.

Beautiful quiet spacious location. Managed by a friendly professional couple with superb attention to detail. Delicious food and clean comfortable spacious bungalows. Friendly dogs & a cat made our stay all the more enjoyable. Easy walk to the beach through a small village. Highly recommended

Nice bungalows with a restaurant and nice hosts. Good for dolphin watching.

A little off the beaten path. There were free bikes but they were quite old and the pedal fell off every hundred meters.

Very well maintained, Avi and Sabina own and run Sea Sand Resort with care and affection. Good quality mattress aids a good sleep. It has Aircon but didn't need at night, but day may be required. Fantastic pack of friendly dogs who welcome you in and keep the strays away They serve the best coffee for miles. If it's a beach you are after SSR is a walk away but most people come for Kite surfing which either happens about 2 km down the coast or about 3 km away on the Lagoon.

I feel the bathrooms could be upgraded to be enclosed as mosquitoes come in through the open gaps. After the top quality of the bedroom it's a bit of a let down. Also no hot water geezer, not sure why as the electricity supply is good. Because the whole resort is located in sand they could get house keeping to do a daily sweep.

Super clean and calm. Super helpful staff. Water refill (for reasonable money) to reduce plastic.

Mattress was not our favourite otherwise everything great!

From the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and a special shoutout to Avi, who went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional. He provided us with fantastic recommendations for our onward travels, which made our journey even smoother. The cabanas were stunning—beautifully designed, spotless, and comfortable. It was the perfect blend of nature and relaxation. We also loved the convenience of being able to hire a motorbike on-site, making it super easy to explore the area. The location is ideal, close to both kitesurfing spots, yet peaceful and serene. The food was absolutely delicious—every meal was a treat! And the friendly animals roaming around added such a unique and charming touch to the whole experience. The resort truly captures the essence of an authentic Sri Lankan escape, offering an “off-the-grid” vibe while still providing all the comforts you need. Everything about our stay was superb, and we can’t wait to come back. If you’re looking for a little paradise in Kalpitiya, this is it!

Everything was perfect. Nothing to add.

My bungalow was spotless and very comfortable. The aircon and WiFi were great. The food in the restaurant was really good and all cooked fresh to order. The hosts were also very friendly and helpful. Great place to stay in Kalpitiya!

All good! Very friendly and relaxed vibe with comfortable rooms and good food!

Very nice private area with only 8 cabanas. Friendly hosts. We only tried the breakfast which was awesome. 5 minutes walk to the beach

Dogs are sometimes barking in the night

Very friendly staff and managers

The Cabana was great and suited us for our one night stay. The environment was just calm and peaceful and a very short walk from the beach. The hosts were lovely and very accommodating of our needs, making us a delicious omlette for breakfast to our taste.

The drainage in Cabana 10 was poor. When having a shower, the waste water was flowing away from the drain as the natural slope of the floor was inclined incorrectly. This meant that each time we had a shower, we had to physically scrape/scoop the water into the drain. Despite this, we really did enjoy our stay.

Def recommend!! The rooms are simple and confortable - great value for money. The food is amazing, prob the best place in the area to eat. Def check out the restaurant even if you’re not sleeping here. Also short walk to the kite beach. The owners are amazing and they really make you feel at home. Thank you Sabina and Avi!!

Nothing to add here. Just make sure you have some mobile data in case you need to rely on WiFi heavily for zoom calls. For me it WiFi was good most of the time though

Extremely pretty place with amazing breakfast

Good location, friendly and helpful hosts, fabulous food

Lack of hot water not advised on booking.com but hotel does make you aware on welcome message received a few days prior to stay.

Clean, friendly staff, cute dogs & cat, nice atmosphere

Cleaning is once a week to keep the price low, could be a little more often

A delightful hideaway quiet and peaceful!

Location was great and Sabina was super helpful

I really loved the room and the whole enclosure. Lovely people working and staying there. We recommended it to several people we’ve met along the way since leaving.

The kite surfing beach is great if you kite surfing! Not so much if you don’t!

Such a peaceful place and very clean and comfortable room. The staff is kind and friendly. 2 minutes away from the beach, but if you don't mind walking there are so many different locations to swim and enjoy the sun if you are not into kite surfing. Breakfast is great! I totally recommend it!

The sticky sand we were bringing in the room no matter how hard we were trying to leave it out. I would suggest a bucket with water or something similar outside each cabana for cleaning our feet before we enter the room. We stayed in beachfront rentals and they had this tip and really helped 😉

Super hotel and good value for money! This tidy and clean. You have the option to have fan or AC. The bathroom is outside with a roof, but all hotels are like this in this city. The owner is very nice and answers all questions very quickly. The hotel is well located, close to other hotels/restaurant and to KSL camp if you want to kite. I’ll come back!

Nice vibes, good communication, quite a few guests!

A few small things they could improve on (but not a deal-breaker at all, would book this location again!) If they would have additional options for hammocks (maybe rent?!) and more comfy chairs for the balcony, that would be nice! In addition maybe an own broom for the room. The ventilator is connected to both motors, so there is no way to fix the airflow in one direction. That should be possible (I think it's not wired correctly) Currently it's only wired that it rotates all the time. Small fridge/Minibar would be nice (although then quite noisy).

Wonderful hosts with excellent location. I like the separate bungalows and the restaurant was good.

The rooms were large BUT very spartan. A table at least would help to put cases on. Also a drying clothes rack (which was listed but not present). The mosquito net was very flimsy. Sorry but just felt very basic. Bathroom with cold water but we were alerted to that. Again a decent shelf in the bathroom would be good. On the verandah - some more furniture would be useful.

If you never been to Kalpitiya, it has a sense of being on the outskirts of civilization. Here you stay nestled among the houses of the locals and share the beach with its fishermen. Beside great kite- and windsurfing (and endless beaches of course), there is not a ton of things to do in Kalpitiya. Scuba diving is good, when there is visibility. Dolphin watching is also a possible activity, but quite an expensive one that last a couple of hours. You won’t find any city center with shops, bars and restaurants near, but you can of course visit other resorts and use their facilities. However you should know that you have a very good restaurant on site if you stay at the Sea Sand Resort! This establishment is made up of about 10 small bungalows with a restaurant. The bungalows are quite basic, but very clean and comfortable and represents good value for money. Within about 10 minutes or more on foot, you can reach surf schools and beaches. From my own experience I can promise that you will be very well taken care off if you chose to stay at Sea Sand Resort.

You will get short power outs, WiFi is sometimes reasonable and sometimes not working at all, mosquitoes are frequent in this area (and country)... A bit basic, but what you will need to have a comfortable stay.

Price was ok for the area

Dinner not available on arrival, its necessary to prebook. Room was clean but bathroom was not. No hot water. Breakfast only available after 8am.

Nice clean room with mosquito net and ac, adorable dogs and cats around.

It would be nice to have a furniture to put our bags on inside the room, instead of the floor, and to be clearly informed of the working hours of the kitchen. The nearby beach is unfortunately very eroded so you need to walk a little further to get to an actual sand strip.

Helpful friendly staff Free bikes

The smallest smoothie bowl I have ever seen, although it did looks pretty 😆

Great place and super friendly staff. Everything tidy and clean. Great meals.

The hotel area is nice

The beach near the hotel is destroyed Need a Table & Chairs in the Room

Sabina and her partner were such lovely hosts! They were very helpful with any request we had and they also cooked such a delicious food!!! The room was cozy and clean. Overall, we loved our experience at this place! I wish we can go back :)

Nice place, clean and good smell. Very friendly people, super nice food.

More places to store clothes and jackets would be nice. Maybe put a picture on the wall to optimise the stay.

Lovely peaceful property. Clean and tidy. Very nice, helpful couple running the accommodation. Great food. Highly recommend.

Simple, clean place with lovely and very caring personnel. Food is delicius, menu offers mix of local and hipster options. Very close to the beach and you can rent a scooter. 10/10

Spacious rooms

It is such a nice and relaxing place, so much that we had to extend our stay (and could’ve honestly stayed longer), thanks to Sabina and her boyfriend (special cheers to Kevin who was the nicest !) as well as their lovely dogs and their cute cat. The location, as well as the accommodation, were just perfect : endless beaches, small nice beach front restaurants, very few tourists, a clean and relaxing room and a breakfast we wish we could have kept on having for the rest of our trip ! Would definitely recommend, and come back, even just for Sabina’s hospitality and kind advices on where to go.

Really lovely staff. Helpful (they rehung washing for me without asking when they saw mine was in the shade) and attentive. Happy to chat and provide information when requested.

No complaints.

Cannot recommend this place enough, lovely clean accommodation. Staff are always present to assist with any questions and are able to recommend a network of local businesses to meet your every need. Food was amazing.

Nice spacious room and bathroom, good aircon - just check you need to pay extra for ac. They did laundry for us. Rooms are separate so lovely and quiet. Food available. Free filtered water to fill our water bottles was great.

Dogs barking at us when we returned at night.

Really nice staff, great bed and pillows with mosquito net, food was good. The young boy was really friendly and good chef! Close to beach.

Bathroom bit iffy, bc partly outside and little bit weird smell coming from pipes.

Great food and very hospitable hosts. Dogs are friendly and the bungalows are very comfortable. Couldn’t recommend more

No issues

Great stay. Our room had everything we needed and was very clean! The owners were very nice and gave us loads of recommendations for the rest of our trip. Food was delicious!!

Lovely set up. Staff were excellent and so helpful. Welcoming watermelon juice was super!

Sand was hard to avoid inside property so didn’t feel very clean

The hosts are so wonderful, helpful and welcoming - and that is on top of a lovely, very clean and relaxing place with really good food,too. I had the perfect time there, stayed much longer than planned and was very sad to leave. I would definitely stay there again.

Sabina and Avi are very sweet persons and make you feel home (they will also help you to organise any activities - thanks for the list of hotels and hostels in Colombo )! Kalpitiya and the bungalows on the sand made me chill down even more (is it possible when travelling in Sri Lanka ? the country with 0 stress 😀). The food is delicious and fresh. In short I'd love to come again to spend a lazy week with a few dives.

Lovely host Sabrina and Avi Made everything very comfortable Chilled out host n place to stay

Nothing
