Best things to do in Weligama ~ here is a little i Best things to do in Weligama ~ here is a little inspiration on just a few ways to spend your days at Kalukanda House. From lounging to curious discovery, there is always something to dip into.
 
Morning walk to Weligama Beach, a hub of activity where local fishermen haul their catch in on beautiful boats that sit looking out to sea until the next time they push out. Yoga is the perfect way to climb out of a sleepy head and into your body followed by freshly cut seasonal fruit and a breakfast fit for kings. Day trip on elephant safari or visit the only White Tea plantation on the island and then rest in our gardens by the pool breathing in the beauty of tropical wildlife and plants. Swim with turtles and watch the newly hatched babies and float in the Indian Ocean after surfing the peeling gentle waves. Kandy dancers entertain you before a freshly cooked supper made to your taste maybe with the catch of the day, and round off the evening in the cabana with a game of cards while fire flies flit through the trees. 
 
Can you think of anything more gently sublime?

Meet the owner! We’re celebrating 🎉 I was awa Meet the owner! We’re celebrating 🎉 I was awarded ‘Women Leader in Hospitality - Entrepreneur’ at the International Women in Travel and Tourism Awards 2025, in London this week. And this one is for all of us. Without my teams at the villa and elsewhere, our partners worldwide, all our wonderful guests and our supportive followers, we couldn’t do what we do. 
 
We are a Sri Lankan, Female founder owned brand. I am a designer of 20+ years and built Kalukanda House from the ground up. Staying with us is simply the start of your travel experience. I believe that travelling to Sri Lanka is about how you feel through discovery. I have opened Kalukanda House, my home, to you so that you can “feel” the colour, the sound, the art, the history, the beating HEART of the people. We support local, we offer sensory experiences, we introduce you to innovators, we offer adventure and expansion. No. We are not like everybody else, and our guests don’t want us to be. And neither do I.
 
Through my networks and platforms that I am creating with highly talented others who inspire me, Kalukanda House is more than a place to stay. We are a doorway into Narnia, where people believe in the preciousness of local wisdom, preservation of nature and the empowerment of local talent. Am I feminist? Hell yes! Do I believe in freedom? You betcha! Can Travel be a force for good. Let me show you how! What do I want you to experience? Epiphany ❤️
 
Thankyou to the judges and sponsors of #iwttf2025,and @womenintravel_cic cic  for creating a space to talk about inclusivity, and for recognising my business amongst so many deserving greats. In an increasingly divided world, travel has the power to create kinship across cultures and travelling with us will bring you the joy of it. Sri Lanka is an island to experience this, Kalukanda House is a place to feel it. Come and stay and give as much as you take - give your time, your heart, and open mind. You won’t regret travelling this way. 
 
Congratulations to all the other winners of these awards. We at Kalukanda House are so proud to stand amongst you, thank you for inspiring me endlessly.

Why do we feel better in nature? Amongst the trees Why do we feel better in nature? Amongst the trees? Buried in forests and greenery? There is more to it than you think. Powerful knowledge exists on the science behind the ancient indigenous wisdoms, proving that trees actually heal us, emitting chemicals that we absorb to fight disease. Our latest podcast episode is out with Sri Lankan expert Susan Joachim, Forest Bathing Explained - @shinrinyoku.srilanka Full episode links in bio - find our podcast ‘Sri Lanka, Modern Perspectives from@an Ancient Melting Pot’ on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts.
