Holiday Rentals in Ilavankulam

This is an amazing place. Great owner and very nice and gentle staff...

We would definitely return to this hotel again!! It is a beautiful property and they offer superb food! The rooms were comfortable and clean. They offered it all: from the safari to the relaxed atmosphere in the garden of the hotel. Staff were very friendly and accommodated all our requests. The plunge pools were nice and relaxing.

The location was beautiful, really close to Wilpattu and the staff were really friendly and helpful!

Owner and staff was very kind end helpful. Houses were fresh and clean, beds with mosquito nets. It was nice and comfortable to stay there. 5/5 breakfast was very tasty and there was gluten free option for me:) highly recommend this place

Ram has been an incredible host, making our experience truly amazing. aside from the beauty of this place, the comfort, the equipments made to enjoy without worrying about anything, he and the chef made this stay outstanding. they showed us their garden, we could enjoy learning stuff with them, talking for hours, having all our needs and beyond their priority. really, i would not recommend any other place in the area if you are into bohemian luxury and sharing with the locals.

Anne is a delight! Food very good also

We stayed as a couple for 11 days in this beautiful cottage 1 minute from the beach. It is so quiet and you can relax and retreat very well. There is also a whale skeleton and several beaches are within walking distance. It is also a kitesurfing paradise and there are many donkeys here. You can easily cater for yourself, but there are also several restaurants nearby. The owners are next door and are happy to help at every opportunity. We would come back any time. :-)

Amazing welcome, and authentic people

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.

Definitely worth going!!! The owners are super helpful. We felt like at home. You can rent scooter from them in a really good money! It was so easy to move around thanks to that!!! They served us delicious breakfasts and dinners (amazing rice with seafood)! Amazing spot close to kalpitya beach for kitesurfing. Just keep in mind that in budget room you don't have a hot water :) for us budget was okay :)
