Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka

Just steps from the kite lagoon on Sri Lanka's northwest coast, Kandakuliya Sunrise Beach Villas blend tropical charm with Cometa comfort. Two eco-friendly villas with six bedrooms, lush gardens, a pool, and daily breakfast create the ideal setting to work, play, and connect.

Wake to the sound of waves, kite all day on the flat lagoon, and share dinners under the stars. Your perfect island escape to start the year right.

Tucked along Sri Lanka's untouched northwest coast, Kalpitiya is where the ocean meets endless sky. Known for its flatwater lagoon — warm, shallow, and wide open — it's one of the best places on earth to kite, and one of the most peaceful to simply be.

Sunrise sessions on glassy water. Island tours and diving in the afternoon. Sunsets over the palms. The rhythm here is slow, warm, and hard to leave.
