A tranquil beachfront boutique hotel
Situated in Balapitiya, along Sri Lanka’s tropical southwest coast, lies the oceanside boutique hotel of Kumu Beach. Just a stone’s throw away from the paradisal beach of Balapitiya and the Madu River, Kumu Beach is the ideal hotel for those seeking a slower-paced holiday, away from the crowds.
The luxury beachfront hotel is comprised of 10 spacious rooms, each of which is adorned with local artwork, wooden furnishings and vibrant splashes of colour. With a choice of an Oceanview Suite, an Oceanview Bedroom or a Kumu Bedroom, those who stay at Kumu Beach are promised either a comfortable four-poster king-size bed or twin bed, as well as an en-suite bathroom, air conditioning and satellite television. The Oceanview Suites and Oceanview Bedrooms also offer guests a private veranda with direct garden and pool access or have a private balcony overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Kumu Beach is the perfect spot for some R&R after an action-packed holiday in Sri Lanka. Enjoy a morning dip or evening stroll along Balapitiya beach, partake in water sport adventures at Bentota, and if you are tired of lounging on the beach, the historic treasures of Galle, including the impressive 17th century fort, are just an hours’ drive away.
When it comes to dining, you will be able to feast on tropical fruit and freshly caught local seafood such as tiger prawns and seared tuna steak on the outdoor timber deck or in the privacy of your room.
