Homestays in Puttalam

A very cool accommodation near the center - the family lives upstairs and the room is downstairs with a own entrance, it's a quite, private, little place with very kind hosts. We liked everything :)

The room spacious and well furnished with a comfortable bed and the owner was friendly and quick to resolve any issues and the rent was affordable

I liked the room. It was well set, clean and comfortable.

Accommodation situated on the outskirts of the coconut village amidst the agro fields. 3.5km to the empty beach, 35 min walk, 16 min run, 10 min by bike through the local houses and fields. Very quiet agro area. Good for discovering a way of local's life. Anuska, the host, he arranged for us the snorkeling trip to Bar reef for very reasonabld price. Excellent communication with the host. A gentleman in the charge of the property and the kitchen was very helpful. A great and rich organic food served during the breakfast and dinner. The nearest bus stop in 10 min walking distance from the accommodation. Thr rooms are ample and very nice. Very neat bathroom. Highly recommended provided this sort of experience is the one you're up to.

The Sanctuary is an outstanding place. The building itself it’s beautiful designed and decorated, fitting in well to the natural surroundings. The room and all the fittings feel high quality and a luxurious, a real treat when budget back packing. The nature that it is surrounded by is truly beautiful and peaceful. The perfect place to sit back and relax! What makes The Sanctuary so special is the staff. So welcoming, friendly and accommodating. Their knowledge of the animals and plants that you will see on walks around the premises is amazing, so well educated and genuine. The food cooked by mum is 10/10 and you will not leave hungry. They made our safari day so enjoyable and truly perfect!! I can not recommend this place enough, it’s a new venture for the team and they do it so well!! Thank you so much to everyone involved.

Beautiful small resort for relax in nature, beach and pool + We were amazed by unique building, garden and pool with great rock design! The location provides perfect relaxing atmosphere, just 5 minutes to virgin beach, nature is all around. The meals are delicious and staff were friendly and very helpful, smile ☺️. I highly recommend this hotel.

Fantastic spot with great food.and very helpful owners.

We loved the house which is full of beautiful antique furniture and has a cool veranda under a shadey neem tree. Dili is an exceptional cook and we eat the best Sri Lankan food of our trip so far. The family were so very welcoming and friendly.

You can eat there, you can kite surf, you can work by the table. It's close to the beach. The owners are very welcoming.

I could have never imagined such a wonderful place for my stay in Sri Lanka. Arrived at Susantha's place to learn kitesurfing for one week and then I was supposed to travel another 3. I canceled all my plans and stayed at Sun Wind Beach. Kitesurfing. It FELT LIKE HOME, but a sort of special home where you get really immersed in the Sri Lankan way of living, being, leaving all worries apart. From wonderful company always, with exchanges that make you grow, to meeting people that are drifted by similar curiosities, and then enjoying your beach hut in a green tropical garden, hidden by palm trees and refreshed by the wind, waiting for another cooking masterpiece of Susantha's mother, be it breakfast or dinner or lunch. Whether you are SOLO TRAVELING or IN COUPLE, I could not think of a better place to experience the AUTHENTIC Sri Lankan way of living or meeting people that will inspire you, become your friends. It is also the only place in Kalpitiya that is FULLY BUILT and RUN by LOCAL KITESURFERS. Just listen to Susantha's story of how he discovered kiteboarding, of how his life changed when opening this resort, of all the (extended) family-work that made this place possible (such as his grand mother braiding the palm tree leaves that are now the rooftops of the beach huts) One more thing to share, the KITESURFING LESSONS. I am not a sports person, but Susantha and his team were not only able to teach me how to do it, but also to make me ENJOY IT in such a way that I DREAM OF KITES AND DOWNWINDERS. So patients, so eager to make all their students succeed. When something went wrong with kite control (which happens a lot at first), it was a reason to laugh about and try again. Persevere until the end, that's the mindset they transmit. And they stay with you, teaching you, rescuing you, until you become independent. During my stay, I also met some of his ex-students, so happy to be back in this special place, still so connected to Susantha and his team.
