Experienced the most fantastic idyll and total serenity on a yoga retreat to Kalukanda House. Fantastic location to explore the beaches and wildlife of Southern Sri Lanka, the historical beauty of Galle Fort and relax. The staff were attentive and catered to all our needs. Five stars all the way!

What an incredible stay at Kalukanda House. I felt so at home with the whole team. Dee selected the most wonderful experiences and really understood what I was hoping for. The tuk tuk team were a dream too and the food was just perfect! My only mistake was that I wish I stayed longer

Thank you so much for sharing your amazing Sri Lankan home. Kalukanda House is incredible, so beautiful. The staff looked after us so well and chef made incredible food, I can’t wait to go home and copy his recipes. I loved the sambal!..Need more time, need to come back…

We (4 adults and 3 kids) had a fantastic time at Kalukanda House during the Christmas holidays. Lovely staff, great food, we loved the yoga in the shala and hanging out at the beach. The property and it's grounds are beautiful and the whole place has a very welcoming/relaxing vibe that is hard to put into words. Can't wait to return. Highly recommend.

Family holidays surrounded by a peaceful environment. Great house and well renovate. Staff always with a smile on their faces and very welcoming. Perfect moments in a perfect place. We had a very good time in your house. Service is great and beautiful materials used to build the house. Thank you.

Kalukanda house is a wonderful place to stay. After a week touring the amazing sights of Sri Lanka we came here for a week of R&R in the most beautiful setting. Beaches a stone’s throw away, wonderful food, gorgeous pool, this place is just heavenly. We hope to come back!
