Karpaha Sands in Pasikuda

Had an amazing stay at Karpaha Sands resort. The atmosphere is relaxed and easygoing, and Umberto and his team are genuinely welcoming without it feeling over the top. The suites are spacious and comfortable, and the food was consistently very good. You can tell a lot of care has gone into the place. The cinema under the stars was a standout and an unique experience. Thanks for the great stay, we’d happily come back again.

A truly exceptional place with exceptional staff. The first impression was truly phenomenal, from the beautiful beach, beautiful tents, beautiful furniture to the constant service touches that anticipated your every need. Before I even had the chance to register I was a bit hot, there was ice cold water next to me and the mobile phone linked to our incredible butler Nifras meant that we had easy connection where nothing was too much trouble. It's rare to find a resort that balances being family friendly with a luxury aesthetic and customer service that goes above and beyond. The food was also beautifully presented at every meal and delicious, our 3 children who can be fussy were always well fed too and enjoyed the choices available. A huge thank you to Nifras, Umberto and everyone at Karpaha Sands - you have created a very special place

This property is a 10! A paradise with perfect service, excellent restaurant, wonderful massages and a beach that is expansive and pristine. Well worth the extra effort to get there.

We had a wonderful short stay at Karpaha for my wife's 50th birthday and what a beautiful place to stay . Everything at resort is of very high standard from the rooms, food , facilities and service . Umberto is a very welcoming manager , who greets everyone and you see actively engaging with guests around the resort . Then on top of that we had a wonderful butler Malshan who sees to all your needs promptly and professionally, nothing is a problem . He sorted special surprise treats for my wife for our stay there including room decoration, birthday cake for her and our amazing BBQ on the beach . On top of this he provides expert information for things to do . Many thanks to Umberto,Malshan and rest of staff.

We got a recommendation from a friend of us to visit Karpaha Sands ‚practically as a must see‘! Well, when we came there we immediately understood why 😅 We have been overwhelmed!!! I think, there is quite no better👍🏻 People is amazing, well told in any belongings. Namal takes care about us in such an agreeably way. Better than you could dream of and Sarath, our waiter was one of the absolute best of all our journey. The food simply outstanding. The Manager, Umberto from Bergamo, Italy (already self explanatory😜) is still standing in the kitchen himself, teaching and preparing delicious meals for his guests. The bungalows and the place, just everything is out of imagination. More than worth to go!

Karpaha Sands is without doubt the best place I have visited in Sri Lanka. Every detail is thoughtful and luxurious - from the stylish interior design of the villas to the chic details in the beach and bar area. The place is undoubtedly well run by GM Umberto. A special thank to you Namal, my butler, who in the sweetest and most service-minded way took such good care of me. And to Balesh and Satheesh for excellent cleaning of my villa twice a day. Everyone should treat themselves with a visit to Karpaha Sands.

From beginning to end this was a fantastic experience. The rooms, staff food facilities and location were excellent. I would highly recommend a visis

Fabulous. We didn’t know there would be so much glam in glamping! A heavenly oasis of calm and luxury. A real treat. Fab food, fab staff, fab location. They even set up the library for us to watch the T20 cricket and were sweet to us when we beat them! Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you

In top 3 of places I’ve stayed anywhere. Stunning location and beautiful luxury beach villas (whilst they are canvas they’re as far from camping as you can imagine!)- we entered through magical entrance with a fishing boat, frangipani scented water, lush landscaping to the warm welcome from manger Umberto and the team. We were introduced to our butler Malshan who showed us to our beach house and checked us in there. Each beach villa has a verandah, its own beach loungers outside and access to any other loungers on the beach. The villas are equipped with sofa, 4 poster bed (and we had additional bed), a stunning bathroom and an outside shower among lush plants. Yoga mat were also made available to us so we could stretch at sunrise under the palms. We enjoyed amazing service from start to finish, and the most incredible food with authentic Sri Lankan dishes (alongside other world cuisines, which we didn’t eat). We had curry for every meal, which the chefs adapted to meet our love of spicy sri Lankan food, all served up on the verandah on upper floor with stunning views of the pool and of beach among the willowy coconut palms. Every member of staff gave excellent service. Umberto arranged for us to have a special meal for our last evening of fish curry and cashew nut curry alongside 8 other veggie curries. It’s a stunning setting- 15km plus of uninterrupted palms and sandy beach with no other hotels in sight. A peaceful place to relax, and enjoy the the stunning setting at Karpaha. a magical last stop or main stop in Sri Lanka (we came here first and have been disappointed with everything since!). We had 90 min so treatment- beautiful spa area and wonderful treatments. Everything felt personal and it felt like we were leaving friends. I’m in 2 minds recommending this hotel, as I intend to come back as often as possible! Thank you for such an incredible 4 days! I wish we could have stayed for longer.
