Planning your stay
Kalpitiya is on a peninsula on the north-west coast, about three to four hours from Colombo. Dolphin watching is best from about November to April, and kitesurfing is popular from about May to October and again from December to March. Boat trips leave early in the morning when the sea is calm, so plan an early night before a dolphin watching trip.
Rooms are named after classic cars: the Rolls Royce King Room, the Bentley King Room, the Ferrari Deluxe, the Flying Squad Deluxe and the Club Deluxe. They are simply and minimally furnished to feel like a home away from home.

How to Get There
Villa Sante sits on the Kalpitiya peninsula, north of Alankuda. The airport at Katunayake is around 150 km away, about 3 hours 15 minutes by car, travelling north up the coast road through Chilaw and Puttalam, then out onto the Kalpitiya peninsula.
If you start in Colombo, it is around 180 km, about 3 hours 45 minutes on the road.
We can book a private air conditioned transfer from the airport or anywhere in Colombo, and the driver can stay with you for the rest of your holiday if you wish.
