Sun Wind Beach

visited by wwkiter574 on 2020I had a sensational time at Sun Wind Beach. Owned by Local Kiters. Cabanas right next to Kalpitiya Lagoon ( main spot). Really welcoming family with delicious food. Felt like a home away from home. Will definitely come back.

ProRider

visited by wwkiter574 on 2019We felt true exotic spirit at the Serene Chalets.They offered us both good food and possibility to cook our own. Recently built - it is clean.The hosts are friendly and compliant to all our needs. The price is very cheap compared to the rest...

Lanka

visited by wwkiter466 on 2019Best kiting resort in the area. It's the most popular so you get the best atmosphere. Awesome bar, right on the beach, launch in Winter just out the front of the resort, great little cafe and gym next door (The BNKR) and fun trips to Vella island.

Margarita Village

visited by wwkiter430 on 2019Very nice accommodation 5 minutes from the kite spot. Eusebi and Ruben are two very kind guys who run the kite school to perfection.

Kitehouse Cafe

visited by wwkiter425 on 2018The steady and abundant wind much less gusty than the big lagoon of Kalpitiya. This accommodation is just the best I have ever stayed in. The place is enchanting, the food really good, the people lovely, a little piece of paradise

Kodev Wilderness Tented Camp

visited by albanwave on 2018For the nostalgic of the beginning of Dhakla with the tents. No air conditioning but no need because located in full wind. Excellent wifi. Total autonomy: need transportation to go on the spot. Not necessarily ideal for a family, and no nightlife.

Horizon Resort

visited by Nomad on 2018Cocodance kitesuf center at around € 38 for two people at night. Small cottages nice without AC but fan. Nice design and large outdoor pool. Proprio very nice discreet and accommodating. Possible to have lunch and dinner on site for not very expensive.

Would love to add a hidden corner, which is off the beaten track. Its not for every one. But if you are one of the few kitesurfer looking for something different. Then read on :-)

https://ruukvillage.com offers a unique Volkswagen Camper van one of its kind in Sri Lanka.... https://ruukvillage.com/volkswagen-camping
They are a human-sized project with only locals as team members. They try to reduce their footprint and at the same time provide their team members a lively-hood (through out the year).
They are far from the bigger operators in Kalpitiya. The place only offer authentic Sri-Lankan feeling in in a simple way. All those adventure seeking individuals will surely enjoy the stay. Team offer the traveler and the kiter an "à la carte" and tailored holiday in Kalpitya, highlighting our "local nuggets" :-).

Spot avec un vent beaucoup plus stable et un peu plus consistant que son voisin (Spot de Kalpitiya). Cadre enchanteur à l'écart du tourisme de masse. Je recommande sans problème de mai à septembre.

C’est une lagune qui s’étend sur plusieurs kilomètres, du vent en permanence de juin à octobre quoique relativement rafaleux, une bande sable avec d’un côté la mer et ses vagues, de l’autre la lagune et son plan d’eau flat. On a pied presque partout. Attention c’est une lagune par un... lagon. Donc un peu boueux et une eau propre mais pas trop claire. On peut kiter sans chausson mais attention aux coupures. Elles s’infectent très rapidement. Tout autour plein de kitesufcenter proposant des prestations différentes selon les gammes. Privilégier celles avec piscine tant il est agréable de se baigner le soir après avoir barboter en plein vent et plein soleil toute la journée. La plupart propose des transferts depuis les centres vers la plage. Petit conseil d’amis. Louer un scooter (1000 roupies soit autour de 7€) pour être indépendant et rentrer faire un somme si nécessaire.....
Un coup de cœur. Cocodance kitesuf center à environ 38 € pour deux personne la nuit. Petit cottages sympa sans AC mais ventilo. Design sympa et grande piscine extérieure. Proprio très sympa discret et arrangeant. Possible de déjeuner et dîner sur place pour pas très cher sous une grande hutte assez sympa.
Cote kite school on a flashé sur Mireille (+34 661 62 41 96) et Mario, deux espagnols qui vivent entre Sri Lanka et la Thailande. Avec eux on est descendu à l’île de Vella au nord de la lagune. C’est au bout du monde mais c’est magique.

Wind During May - September :
Wind during summer months is much stronger than the winter months. The gap between Sri Lanka and India across the Adam's Bridge creates a "venturi effect". Wind which blows between May till September in comes from the East. This wind is warm and dry as... it comes over the land rather than the sea. This wind is normally stronger than the wind which comes over the sea, ranging between 20 – 30 knots or more. One of the biggest difference compared to the wind during the winter months, is that it blows during the whole day and night. At some of the lagoons, depending on the buildup and vegetation the wind can become a bit gustier, but that also depends on which spot you choose. Example if you visit one of the islands north from us you can experience steady wind conditions’ and great flat-water arena for any one. In case you wish to take kitesurfing lessons , our kiteschool will take care of explaining exactly how this works. The wind has a massive venturi effect between India and Sri Lanka and blows strong all summer

Wind durnig December to March:

This wind is not as strong as the wind from May till September, and comes from the west over the Indian Ocean. This means it´s a bit cooler and a bit humid. This wind brings down the temperature in the evenings, allowing a very cool December / January nights. One needs to have a shower before the sun goes down, otherwise the shower can be a bit chilling too, its is an overwhelming experience for this part of the world. Normally wind strength is around 15 – 25 knots, and it’s more steadier than the ssummer months. The main difference compared to the wind from May is that this wind picks up normally around 11AM till mid day, leaving the mornings very calm. It can also be thermal wind , this is one of the reasons why Kalpitiya has almost 100\% of wind during the European Winter months. Wind during December - March is normally accompanied by clear skies, fresh air and great visibility. This is also the time where you can do a Dolphin safari or even go diving in the mornings before the wind picks up. Less wind means almost no waves in the mornings and the ocean bottom is much more calmer and clearer, making it possible for great dives in Kalpitiya.

Même avis mitigé de la part d'amis qui y sont allés deux semaines cet été et qui en plus, ont chopé neuf jours de pétole... et comme le coin est paumé pas de tourisme aux alentours...

Avis mitigé sur ce spot, visité en mai 2011 : vent faible et souvent rafaleux, eau marron, spot complètement paumé, pas d'ambiance. Personnellement, je n'y retournerai pas...
