This hotel was one of the best hotels we stayed in Sri Lanka. Everything was just perfect: the beach, the restaurant, the service and all amenities. We stayed in a private garden villa , the room was super clean and nicely decorated. The breakfast had a big variety of healthy meals, lunch and dinner menu is very good, has a big choice of fresh fish and seafood. The service was just excellent! Highly recommend to go to cinema under the stars and enjoy a movie on the beach. Will definitely recommend this place to friends.

This is a beach villa. You can see the sunrise over the Indian Ocean when you wake up! It's quiet and you won't be disturbed! Breakfast is ordered and tastes good. The location is relatively remote, so you basically eat in the hotel.

Complete delight) Starting from the staff who greeted us at the entrance to the hotel. I didn’t want to leave at all, but we were able to book only for one day; there were no villas available for other dates. The general manager met us and we had a personal assistant. Everything is so beautiful, rooms with a private courtyard are more private than those with access to the sea. The interior is very stylish, a cool area for tea and a shower outside, and the most important thing is the presence of a bathroom) In the main building there is an area for working on a computer and a children's area - an incredibly beautiful room. There are many photo zones on the beach, there is a bar near the pool, and waiters serve drinks. The breakfast is perfect, the presentation and the dishes themselves are top class. We liked the dinner, we ordered a dish from the chef, it depends on the catch that day. We had lobsters. Everywhere they give compliments - coconuts upon arrival, shrimp by the pool, detox drinks for breakfast, etc. We travel a lot, but this particular hotel has sunk into our hearts. Probably, it’s also a matter of emotional attitude towards each guest. The general manager, Umberto, an Italian, accompanied us along with the rest of the staff. We'll definitely come back again.

The beautifully arrangement of stable 2-layer tents inmidst a palmtree garden is overwhelming. A special thanks to our 'butler' Chaminda as he was making our time really stress free. From renting a tuk tuk to serving dinner on the beach, he helped us enjoying our time at this great place even more. The chef is also a great artist, we had everything from the menu and it was all phantastically arranged, fresh and tasty. Director Umberto is in control of everything in a very charming way. We thank the whole team for the great hospitality and the many smiles and chats during our stay. We really felt at home.

Small corner of paradise, secluded, peaceful and relaxing. Stunning untouched beach graced only with the presence of the local fisherman. Food was excellent, all made fresh, with so many flavors. The banana lassi with fresh buffalo curd is to die for. The tents were ample with a cozy living area. It was very private, calm and secured. Last but definitively not least, the staff was absolutely incredible! Umberto, the general manager was the perfect host and took exceptional good care of us. Our butler, Nifras, went above and beyond making our stay truly unique. Special mention also to Sarath and Sujan with all the staff being extremely attentive and kind.

Great five night stay at Karpaha Sands - Every little small detail is cared for, and the service is immaculate. The rooms are cozy, very nicely decorated and remote. The food is just great, everything we tried is cooked to perfection. Malshan delivered excellent service from the beginning and throughout, we have only positive things to say about his work - The same goes for everyone else in the staff group. We will be back another time for sure!
