  Kalukanda House is a dream beach house in Sri Lanka, with a lovely secret beach where you can swim and surf a 5 minute walk down the road, and the restaurants and bars of Ahangama and Weligama a 10 minute Tuk Tuk ride away. The house is perfect for just chilling out and taking it easy in the big garden or by the beautiful pool. The food is delicious, the rooms are comfortable and Shenaia and the team do an amazing job of looking after you and ensuring you have a wonderful holiday. The Yoga Shala next door, where they run daily Hatha and Vinyasa classes during the peak season, is an added bonus!

  We had the most amazing three nights here. It’s a beautiful house in a beautiful setting. The gardens are lovely as is the pool which we had to ourselves during our stay. The staff are all very helpful and made it feel like a home from home. It’s a great place to relax and to base yourself in the South. We had the chef cook for us one night and it was the best food we ate in our whole 2 weeks in Sri Lanka. Lovely breakfasts too. It’s a great location, minutes walk from a beautiful beach which is great for swimming. And only a short Tuk tuk ride to most local beaches. You won’t regret staying here! Highly recommended.

  I took my family on a pre-Christmas get away to Sri Lanka and stayed at the Kalukanda House for 7 days. It was perfect in so many ways. The location was ideal. A 200 meter walk from the house to wonderful beaches were you can relax, sun bath, swim and surf. Also the Weligama area does not disappoint, there are many lovely beaches to explore and watch the world go by, read a novel, play beach volley ball or go surfing. Kalukanda House was beautiful, relaxing and the staff were generous, kind and attentive. As a family we are foodies, we loved the food at Kalukanda House so much. we had a majority of our dinners IN! That is not to say the Weligama area does not have good food...it's just the chef at Dee's place was wonderful. My 21 year old son loved it too. There was plenty of things for him to do and bars to explore at night. My partner and I loved it so much that we are planning on going back for a month...7 days was not long enough,

  A friend and I stayed at Kalukanda House after travelling for a week. It is an oasis of calm. The house is beautifully designed - the communal areas are lovely and spacious, and the bedrooms are too. The garden is luscious and the pool area is lovely. Very peaceful and private. The staff were all outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they really enhanced our stay. The food was outstanding. The owner, Dee, could not have been more helpful and really helped make our stay memorable.

  Staying at the Kalukanda House was one of the best decisions of my life!! 😍 I traveled to Sri Lanka alone as a woman and from the first moment I felt very welcomed and well taken care of. The dinner every evening was amazing, very high quality and prepared with so much love by a local chef. After long days of yoga training, this was exactly what I needed! The rooms are beautiful and calm and the bathrooms with the rain showers felt incredibly good after a full day on the mat. The garden and the pools offers a lot of space to journal, to be with yourself and to relax, which I loved!! The whole stay was exactly what I imagine a yoga teacher training place should be like: Quiet, exclusive, close to nature and very grounding. Weligama is 10 Min in reach with a TukTuk and the peaceful jungle beach (which is absolutely beautiful) is just 3 min to walk to. Another big plus is that you can walk directly from the house to the yoga studio, which makes everything very easy and relaxed. I can truly recommend Kalukanda House to anyone who is looking for a special, calm and unique place. Also, I met Dee during my stay, the amazing woman that designed the house and the garden - It was so inspiring to spend time with her. I am very glad we met. I will definitely come back!!
