I think it’s the best hotel on the island. Amazing hospitality, the general manager is Italian, that is why the food was truly outstanding. I can’t more recommend this hotel. The atmosphere is gorgeous, you feel the untouchable nature with the fishermen on the beach, really unique experience.

We had an amazing stay at Karpaha Sands. Everything about this place is designed to relax you, and everything is made remarkably easy for you. The rooms are very comfortable, and the outdoor shower was incredible to use. Food throughout was sublime, and the experiences such as the cinema under the stars and henna were very well organised. The beach similarly is clean, and the sea calm and empty. Staff are incredibly friendly and very efficient. This was an wonderful place to stay and we would love to be back.

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.

Karpaha Sands is without a doubt the best place I have visited in Sri Lanka. Every detail is thoughtful and luxurious - from the stylish decor of the villas to the stylish details in the beach and bar area. Everyone should treat themselves to a visit to Karpaha Sands.

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.

Karpaha Sands is easily one of the best resorts we’ve ever stayed at. The personalisation here is unlike anything we’ve experienced elsewhere — from our incredible butler Namal (attentive, intuitive, always there when needed) to the cell phones provided to reach him at any time, to an anniversary cake, to arranging dinner at our room the last night. Manager Omberto and the entire team were genuinely warm & friendly throughout our stay. The food is phenomenal! Were talking 5* quality across every meal. Hoppers at breakfast, fresh jams, a dreamy tea selection, ceviches and calamari chapati tacos to die for, and a seafood feast that was beyond anything. The starlight cinema with sparkling wine, sweets and popcorn was pure magic. Luxury glamping rooms are stunning — beautiful design, incredibly comfortable bed, indoor tub with salts, outdoor shower, gorgeous lighting and a speaker for music. Days were spent bouncing between pool daybeds, eating and beach loungers with lovely afternoon snack surprises. The massages were so good I had to have a second one. The masseurs were so sweet & gave lovely massages. Beach walks were wonderful morning abs evening and the entire ***** felt very private and quiet. The number of stray dogs was quite heartbreaking competing for food, sadly a big problem in Sri Lanka. A mass neutering program would go a long way. A hidden gem with world-class food, exceptional service, and touches we’ll never forget. We will 1000% be back.
