Kumu Beach

Kumu Beach is a chic, modern boutique hotel close to Balapitiya Beach on Sri Lanka's south west coast. A short distance from Galle and close to Bentota and Hikkaduwa, there are just ten rooms and suites here, making for a relaxing and stylish stay.

Balapitya, Sri Lanka's West Coast, Sri Lanka
  • Just 2 hours 30 minutes from Colombo's International Airport

  • Located right on the beach, complete with a 23m infinity pool

  • Just 10 rooms and suites make for a intimate stay along Sri Lanka's south west coast

  • The food is delicious and comprises a mix of both western and Sri Lankan cuisine


Kumu Beach stands elevated overlooking the rugged Balapitiya beach, just two and a half hours from the airport. Here enjoy some beach time either at the start or end of a tour through this glistening teardrop isle. 

Laze by the pool overlooking the sandy shores of blissful Balapitiya, one of Sri Lanka's quieter coastal towns. A small fishing village, the area is flanked by beautiful golden beaches. Kumu Beach sits on a lovely stretch looking out to the Indian Ocean. Although the beach is not swimmable, you are just a short distance from Ambalangoda, a great spot for surfing and swimming.

Dining at Kumu Beach is very relaxed and comprises a fusion of both local and western dishes. The hotel's seaside location means fresh seafood is always in abundance, so make sure you sample the catch of the day on the sea view dining deck. 

Other facilities at the hotel include a 23m infinity pool and a large lawn with plenty of places to sit and unwind with a cocktail. When not lazing by the pool, we can also arrange excursions into Galle, Bentota or further afield.
