Kumu Beach

Wonderful stay at Kumu Beach, mainly due to the amazing team there. Of course there is also the breathtaking views, the delicious food and very comfy bedrooms. We loved every minute of it and cannot wait to try the other properties of the Teardrop Collection.

Kumu beach was an exceptional example of the teardrop customer excellence. Service was warm and well customized to our unique needs. The chef went to great lengths to fulfill a special requeste which then ptoved to be delicious. We had a wonderful time and will be back again

Kumu is a beautifully appointed guest house, beach front with five star service. Our daughter decided to have her destination wedding at the property, which was amazing. The staff made sure the day was memorable with a dash of Sri Lankan culture, which included traditional Sri Lankan dancers and singers, concluding with a delicious Sri Lankan Feast for all the family. Our Australian family of all ages really enjoyed the property, especially relaxing and swimming in the lovely pool. We had a variety of room types and all were well appointed and luxurious. Breakfast which is included in the tariff was the best we had in Sri Lanka. The massage was awesome and just what we all needed after travelling. Could not fault this property or its staff. The staff organised day trips to amazing Galle Fort which is only a short drive away. We hope to return as it was such a wonderful accommodation. It is awesome for groups and families and also works for couples. Social hour is a fabulous chance to enjoy a GnT with other guests. We enjoyed the company of the other guests that were from all over the world. If you prefer a quiet Social Hour there are plenty of locations on the property that you can enjoy a private drink or two. Walks on the beach are especially romantic as it is very private with hardly any people on it. However, if you are travelling with a group or a large family, and do not wish to rent a villa, this is the perfect location. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone has an incredible time.

Who designed and brought to fruition this garden of tranquility and beauty? I spent three perfect nights here (first night with a friend and two solo) during the off season. A storm hit the coast on the first night and the waves of the Indian Ocean crashed against those beach rocks at Kumu like God's wrath were about to be unleashed. When morning arrived, the staff had already cleared away all evidence of the previous night's inclement weather and I enjoyed a tasty breakfast of egg hoppers and curry on the breezy deck of the hotel. The setting has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. So postcard-perfect it was surreal: from the swaying coconut trees to the view beyond from the infinity pool. The staff is unintrusively attentive and happy to please. They take a stay at Kumu Beach over the top and are key to what was a memorable vacation. The menu is extensive. Chef Indika-- how does he manage it? There are so many items to choose from, considering there aren't more than a dozen rooms on site. He and his staff do a stellar job consistently turning out fresh, yummy, and beautifully presented dishes. Rooms are well-kept and thoughtfully equipped with attention-to-detail I appreciated (like a beach bag I could use while I was there). Thank you to Ruchira, Chef Indika, Lahiru, Yugan, Nilanchana, and many others whose names I didn't catch for your hospitality and sharing the spirit of Sri Lanka with me. If I'm lucky, I'll return next time for a longer stay!
