KARPAHA SANDS

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.

Conveniently situated just one hour from Polonnaruwa, Karpaha Sands makes for a wonderful beach break in your Sri Lankan adventures.

Testimonial 5
“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”
Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”
I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”
We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with The Ultimate Travel Company.
