Speak to one of our experts now about this offer
The scent of sunscreen, the taste of sweet papaya and sipping from king coconuts are all on the horizon at this pocket-sized heart-stealer.
In sync with the rhythm of the laid-back south coast, sugarcube white buildings pop against a sea of green lawn and palm trees dance over a dreamy swimming pool. This place is a tiny treasure for couples: a true boutique of just ten rooms, all facing the Indian Ocean. The beach of Habaraduwa is just a couple of steps in front of the hotel’s infinity pool and whilst the currents are too strong for swimming, the sun-bleached sands are made for sunset strolls. Days out can include anything from shopping for spices and sipping Ceylon tea at Galle Fort, to finding safe ocean swimming areas nearby. There are also plenty of reasons for staying put. Snoozing under a poolside tangerine parasol, booking an in-room massage and padding back down in the evening for a barbecue feast on the beach.
Why we love KK Beach
-
You’ll never be grappling for a sunlounger in a hotel with just ten rooms.
-
You’re in the salty tropics but you’re also just a twenty-minute drive from gorgeous Galle Fort, a step back to the 1700s but with chic boutiques and cafes.
-
Mirissa’s moon-shaped bay is just half an hour away. There’s fantastic snorkelling here, and in season you can head out on a whale watching cruise.
-
You’ve got access to sister hotel Kahanda Kanda’s Spa Pavilion, swimming pool and gardens, with a free tuk tuk service to take you there.

The hotel offers luxury in-room massage treatments as well as a free tuk tuk service to their sister hotel Kahanda Kanda where you can access the Spa Pavilion. There is also a gym if you need to stick to your exercise schedule whilst on holiday.
This part of the Indian Ocean was made for diving, bodyboarding, snorkelling and surfing. All can be arranged close by to the hotel.
The sea directly in front of the hotel is swimmable first thing and from mid to late afternoon - just not the middle of the day.
Guests at KK Beach are welcome to use the facilities at Kahanda Kanda, including the spa, gym and restaurant.
