Homestays in Puttalam

A very cool accommodation near the center - the family lives upstairs and the room is downstairs with a own entrance, it's a quite, private, little place with very kind hosts. We liked everything :)

The room spacious and well furnished with a comfortable bed and the owner was friendly and quick to resolve any issues and the rent was affordable

I liked the room. It was well set, clean and comfortable.

Lovely rooms, cute outdoor showers, pool was coming soon, is there now!

Amazing hospitality, attentive staff, very comfortable rooms and the food was lovely too!We saw some amazing animals on the property on our guided walks, and the guide was very knowledgeable. Strongly reccommended

It was terrific place. I had a marvelous time by the ocean. - Nice and clean rooms; - Friendly and kind staff; - Delicious Sri Lanka (local) cousine; - Breathtaking view and nice garden; - Fantastic swimming pool with bar stools; - Variety of activities and facultative trips; - Everything for fairly low prices. Definitely I will return to this place in the future.

Dili and Roshan and their family where treating us as their family members. We felt immediately at home at their place. We enjoyed fantastic meals prepared in their own little restaurant. Each meal was prepared with passion! The last evening we enjoyed at a festival together what was a very special moment for us to dive into Sri lankian culture. We recommend them with great pleasure and we wish them all the best for their future plans.

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.

We had a great stay as a family with Meryl. The homestay is in a relaxed setting a block from the beach. The rooms are beautifully clean with great little sitting areas outside and a hammock hanging from the trees. We ate great rice and curry every lunch from their restaurant. The highlight however was the kitesurfing lessons from Meryl- he is a fantastic teacher and took us from beginners to being able to be pulled along / standing up! His teaching method is great, he is incredibly patient - and I would recommend him without hesitation - we will be back!!
