LUXURIOUS TENTED SUITES

A set of luxurious tented suites strung out along a nine-mile stretch of beach, Karpaha Sands is a genuine east coast gem.

Made up of powdery-soft sands and swimmable turquoise waters set in a crescent-shaped bay, with plenty of swaying palms to seek shade under, Kalkudah Beach must be one of the most beautiful beaches in Sri Lanka. Making the most of this exclusive, intimate setting is Karpaha Sands, a luxurious resort made up of just 17 amply-sized, open-plan tented suites. From lush gardens to private terraces and rubble stone outdoor showers – each is fitted with everything required for a relaxing, low-impact stay.
