 EKHO Surf 

Barefoot beachside bliss

Perfectly positioned on a long stretch of sugar-white sands, this tropical oasis blends contemporary chic with rustic charm.

An enviable beachfront plot, rooms overlooking the ocean and on-the-sand dining makes EKHO Surf a top choice for relaxing getaways. The vibes here are super laid-back with luxe loungers lining palm-fringed pools and cocktails served under star-studded skies. In between refreshing dips and lazy lunches, a whole host of adventures await. Glide through lush mangroves, swim with sea turtles and dive into the crystal-clear waters.

Why we love EKHO Surf

  • Located on the ‘longest stretch of beach’ on Sri Lanka’s south-west coast, you can roll out of bed onto the sun-soaked sands.

  • There are two pools depending on your mood - an Olympic-length one for getting your laps in and a smaller, shallower pool for splashing about in the sun.

  • Ocean-facing rooms mean you can wake up to sea views every morning. Open the windows and you’ll even hear the waves.

  • The two-storey retreat is bursting with charm with warm hospitality and a typical Sri Lankan style.

Bringing the beauty of Bali to the shores of Sri Lanka, Wellness Care Spa will give you that boost you need. Treatments here are carried out in the most serene setting by skilled therapists from Bali. Go all out with one of the spa packages for ultimate relaxation. You can still get your daily workout in too, with a well-equipped gym, perfect for strength and cardio training.

Take your pick from two swimming pools, both lined with comfy loungers. The first pool is more of your traditional hotel swimming pool with a kid-friendly section, whilst the second pool is Sri Lanka’s only Olympic-size pool, suited to more serious swimmers.

There’s a children’s swimming pool for the little ones. Spacious suite rooms also sleep up to 3 people, ideal for families.
