Beachfront vacation rentals in Puttalam

We stayed 3 nights in the Dune Towers. Short 5 min walk to the deserted beach. Our double room was very spacious and clean. The breakfast in the place was very tasty as was lunch and dinner. Thanseem and his boys are very friendly and take care of the organization on site. We were also able to book a dolphin safari and a massage through him and were lucky and saw hundreds of dolphins. Also our daily beach walks were accompanied by the hotel dogs Diggy and Similla, who are very loving. We enjoyed our time in the Dunetowers and can recommend it without exception. If you need some time to switch off, this is the place to be, as there is not much to offer all around. Only the sand flies made our life a little harder. Otherwise, we would definitely come back here 👍🏼

Sam and Nilu are great hosts and they were attentive to us and provided us with everything we've asked. He was always around for us to ask any questions about any tips. They have gone beyond and done everything to give us a good experience for our little holiday. I can't highly recommend them enough.

Samith was extremely helpful and responsive. The hotel is beautiful and we chose to stay in the stylish wooden beach chalets. As an eco lodge, there is no air conditioning but the fans and chalets were perfectly cool. There is also no heated water but so the showers are warmer in the afternoon on a hot day but cold all day if it’s a cloudy day! Kalpitiya is very windy, and therefore, a great destination for kite surfing which was really fun, even for a beginner! It is a great alternative if you want some peace and quiet. The food was fantastic, especially if you happen to be there for their bbq nights which has seasonal produce including fresh fish, squid, prawns, chicken etc. The only slight criticism is that some stretches of beach are littered with plastic, which is common to other parts of Sri Lanka, although it is clear that the hotel has made efforts to go green and I would thoroughly recommend it!

We were lucky enough to meet the owners during our stay and they treated us like family. The view of the lagoon from your bed is an absolutely amazing way to wake up, along with the immediate offer of coffee as soon as you open your door. They easily arranged an afternoon boat trip for us to beautiful, quiet swimming spot in the mangroves at the edge of Willpatu National Park. They can arrange other activities such as kite-surfing, we just didnt have enough time. Our room was great! The bed was very comfortable and the outdoor bathroom was a fantastic touch. Upon arriving we were greeted by Rosie, one of the friendliest dogs we've ever met. All the meals we had there were extraordinarily delicious. Be sure to get the pumpkin curry if it's available. It was one of the best dishes we had on our entire trip. We strongly recommend this property for anyone who needs to unwind and relax. We can't wait to visit again!

Sam is a great Host! Always helping me with anything I needed. I felt always safe there, cute little huts. Little breakfast always on time! Relation price - quality is fair. I’ll comeback here

The accommodation was really fantastically well arranged. All staff are super friendly and want to help you with everything. I thought I was their only guest, so much attention I got. Beach is close, beautiful place for a first rank sunset. The food is fresh and well prepared. Plenty of room to do whatever you like. Recommended to everyone.

A little piece of heaven . The place is very nice , a beautiful team, a good chef . A gorgeous pool. A successful Boat trip where we saw hundreds of Dolphins . An owner very concerned about the quality of the stay , attentive . All this in an idyllic setting , steps from the ocean . The rooms are very comfortable . What a pleasure to meet and find places that leave memories full of heads . Without hesitation a destination worth a visit! Thanks to you Martin , and to the whole team!

The cabana was spacious and very clean with a big shower to store boards and kites. Hot water as well! The garden is beautifuly arranged, directly at the beach. The restaurant serves delicious Sri lanken food but also European and the portions are very generous. Niru and Less are welcoming, very friendly and helpful. If you need a lift to town they go 3 to 4 times a week or take orders for stuff to buy. The beach is positioned perfectly to kite over to the lagoon in 2 min. We are deffenetly back!

Hidden on the Kalpitaya peninsula, you will find a real gem: an exclusive stay where peace and luxury merge. Upon arrival, a refreshing welcome drink beckons, followed by a spacious, inviting room with large windows, terrace, large bed and a bathtub. Every night, the passionate chef shows his craftsmanship with tasteful, local food that remains surprisingly pure. The fun refreshing swimming pool with slide and the winding path to the beach enhance the feeling of discovery. Despite a dirt access road and the lack of a minibar(fridge), this place remains a find for those who want to dream away. A shoutout for the staff and many thanks for everything!

We didn't arrive very happy but mostly because we were tired and had other expextations of Kalpitiya. But.... After some rest we came to rest at Dinuda resort. We loved our Stay. The rooms are great, the Windows can be cleaner, the breakfast is awesome!! The menu for the restaurant is for our opinion a bit to expensive... The Stay was perfect!

Beautiful location right by the sea, beautiful swimming pool and the staff is really fantastic, so incredibly friendly.

For swimming at ocean you just step out the bungalow and walk to the beach

Stayed there for two nights. Great atmosphere, the food is good and there’s an amazing sunset view. Akashi was very friendly and helpful. Overall it is a great place to stay.

Where to start. Must say the staff, Cynthia, Roy and Nishanthe went over and above to meet any requirement and request we had. I was mostly by myself with my 10months old baby and they were so helpful with anything. There was though one thing that I got surprised about and it’s access to the beach. Had to cross a road (did get this before I checked in) and leave private belongings on the sand. Not convenient with a baby and didn’t feel that comfortable at the beach. The pool helped a lot, but it needs an upgrade, some tiles were edgy and sharp, and many insects and ants in and Around the pool. The hosts did their best to help out! All in all I am so thankful for finding spicy of Ceylon!

Loved this little slice of tranquility. Attentive staff, amazing food and great kite surfing instructor. Really loved our stay. Thanks 🙏🏽

We really loved it here and stayed longer than expected. beautiful extraordinary sunset views and large maintained gardens with palm trees loads of shade wooden loungers wonderful large clean swimming pool. A 20 minute walk into the nearest town or 5 minute tuktuk.. market stalls nearby. altogether a great finish to our winter sun trip. thank you.

We loved staying here! Susantha and his family have created a really cool and beautiful place with a very relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Our room was really comfortable and clean and we enjoyed having a private place to relax as well as spending time in the communal areas meeting other travellers. Although this is a spot for kite surfing we came here to just relax away from a busy tourist beach (it's a very quiet area with a tiny town) and for this it was perfect. We felt so welcomed by Susantha, his family and the other travellers that it felt like home. We hope to come back one day and learn to kite surf, we've been inspired :)

Susantha is a lovely character, hang out with her guests, talk a lot and laugh all the time. His mom cooks amazingly good dinners. Breakfast is pretty good. I switched from backpacker room which was small to a cabana with its own bathroom and shower because it was better value.

We couldn’t recommend staying at Ruuk Village more. The rooms are comfortable and spacious, the private area at the front is relaxing and pretty, and the private bathroom is in keeping with the whole theme of the village. Our stay was made even better by the staff, who were always attentive, and the food provide was delicious - the authentic Sri Lankan dinners and breakfasts were brilliant. Don’t come here if you’re looking for 5* hotel treatment, but DO come here if you’re looking for friendly, flawless treatment with rustic, charming rooms only metres from beautiful views. All in all, we couldn’t recommend Ruuk Village highly enough.

We very much enjoyed the beautiful and unspoilt beach so close by and the refreshing pool in front of the cottage. The cottage was very comfortable and well equipped. Pradeep was most charming and helpful with everything. He also cooked us a delicious breakfast. Next time we hope to go to the new cottage looking right on the ocean.

Pleasant stay very well hosted our was helpful and available he responds quickly to our requests I recommend this bungalow it is a beautiful place with beautiful people around who only asks to meet you absolutely recommend

We were kindly welcomed by Martinez. The cottage was very complete: There was fruit, water, biscuits and coffee, tea, milk available. Multiple towels and a washing machine. We had the small pool and all the grounds to ourselves. Praheeb and his wife took great care of us. Delicious meals and fruits. They took us for a tour of a salt factory, a batik factory: fantastic. Martinez took us to Negombo. Thank you for the good care

We were upgraded from the other property on site to the Honeymoon Suite. The secluded setting among the rough sand dunes is amazing and the architecture of the building is impressive. Some of the furnishings are a bit “tired” but that did not detract from our wonderful experience. There were very few mosquitoes but some flies and midges, a minor inconvenience and sorted out with insecticide. We had the endless, sandy beach practically to ourselves. We enjoyed watching the wildlife – eagles, peacocks, mongoose, palm squirrels, myna birds, bee-eaters and goats – from the suite. But what impressed and touched us most of all were the staff! Never before have we been so wonderfully looked after. They all went out of their way to be helpful and considerate. There are no restaurants nearby so all meals were freshly prepared for us and delicious. Prices were very reasonable. Nishani was kind, generous and exceptionally responsive and, although far away, felt like she was right there.

Nayan has managed to create a lot of privacy with incredibly good service in a palm garden in a particularly beautiful place. The staff are really very helpful, super flexible and very friendly. You feel perfectly cared for. We got fresh coconuts every day, it was cooked very very tasty for us according to our wishes and we were able to order a driver several times who accompanied us all day. An impressive beach where you can walk for miles and bathe extensively connects directly to Nayan's paradise. The two dogs are very loyal and relaxed friends, I will miss them too. A paradise. I highly recommend the place.
