The west coast of Sri Lanka is sprinkled with numerous photo-worthy beaches yet Balapitiya’s boulder-scattered stretch of sand feels relatively untouched. Shaded beneath swaying coconut palms, Balapitiya’s long swathe of sand is washed by rolling waves that crash onto rocks in front of the hotel. Wander south down the broad sandy stretch of Balapitiya Beach or dip into the sea from our secluded northerly cove dotted with boulders caressed by scuttling crabs.
Beneath gently swaying coconut palms on a serene boulder-sprinkled seafront sits Kumu Beach, a contemporary beach hotel in Balapitiya home to 10 indulgent bedrooms, chic living and dining areas basking in the open air, and a generous lawn with infinity swimming pool. Balapitiya's powder-soft beach is footsteps away, and this exclusive Sri Lanka beach hotel is an enchanting place to relax, unwind, eat well and enjoy personalised, high-end service.
This stretch of coastline also forms part of the wildlife-filled Madu Ganga River Estuary, and is prime turtle-nesting territory. Under cover of darkness you might see one of Sri Lanka’s five endangered marine turtle species venturing ashore to bury their precious eggs in the soft sand. Local turtle hatcheries in Kosgoda offer glimpses of these beautiful creatures too.

The ten bedrooms at Kumu Beach showcase the best of luxury accommodation on the south-west coast of Sri Lanka. All rooms look out over the pool and garden and have spectacular views across the Indian Ocean. Offset by cooling off-white terrazzo floors, rooms are furnished with custom-designed beds with chic décor influenced by sunset pinks and ocean blues.
