KK Beach

Recently spent 4 days at KK Beach on a return trip to Sri Lanka (having stayed at its sister hotel Kahandakanda in March) . The property is slap bang on a beautiful beach straight out of a tropical magazine image . The rooms are beautifully furnished in blue and white with exceptionally comfortable beds . Lots of nice touches - blue striped kimonos and flip flops to wear down to the pool (which was cleaned daily) and mini bottles of mosquito repellent . The staff are all exceptional - very friendly and eager to please. Special mention to Mudali, Patham, Kasun, Sahan, Thisaru, Supun and of course Chef whose meals were a highlight of our stay. Apologies if I’ve missed any of the boys as you were all so nice to us.

Super place ! All of the staff were excellent. The standout star was Kasun who gives his life and soul with a huge smile. Room was very comfortable, food excellent, beach and views magnificent and location great for Galle and general surroundings. Highly recommended.

Stayed 3 nights after switching from Marriott as we couldn’t do any more big hotels. This hotel was lovely- we had ocean suite and it was beautiful. Grounds,food and staff were lovely- just what we needed. Quiet small hotel- couldn’t hear the road at the back— and I am super sensitive. Kasun was lovely at the pool and showing where to swim. Beach was beautiful and quiet. Food was decent but maybe after a few days you would want to try something different. You could walk to town in 15min. Great animal rescue near by- to visit; AnimalSoS - please visit! We would stay here again.

We stayed for 6 nights at KK Beach over the Christmas period and had the most wonderful time. The location of the hotel is incredible as it is set right on the beach with breathtaking sea views and perfect for sunset strolls. It also has a lovely pool which is great for swimming and sunbathing if the beach isn’t for you. The hotel is very close to close to Galle Fort by Tuk Tuk so you can easily go there as it has great restaurants. It is also located close to Weligama beach (great for surfing), and Mirissa (good shopping and beach). We stayed in an Ocean Suite and a Penthouse Suite and both the rooms were fantastic. They were extremely comfortable, immaculately clean, beautifully designed and decorated and we were completely spoilt with cleaning everyday by the housekeeping team as well as an evening tuck down service. The staff are all exceptional. They were always very observant, friendly and went out of their way to make our time comfortable and relaxing. Particular shoutouts to Kasun who was extremely attentive and helpful when we were lying by the pool. As well as Mudali who made the best cocktails and was great fun to talk to. The breakfast staff were also wonderful, and everyone is an utter credit to the hotel! We can’t recommend Sri Lanka as a holiday destination and especially this hotel enough. And we will definitely return again one day. Jack, Lettie, Lucie & Jonathan

Four nights at the end of a two week tour of the island and we couldn't have picked a better location. The hotel is everything the other reviews say but, we were particularly fortunate to have the place virtually to ourselves. The staff, without exception, couldn't have been more helpful and had that nice balance of being there if you needed but not overly solicitous. Stand out man is Kasun the pool guy; always happy, helpful and meticulous in his attention to detail, from trimming the lawn with scissors to topping up the drinking water just when you needed it. The food is of a very high standard with a nice mixture of Sri Lankan and western options on the menu. We were treated to dinner on night overlooking the beach and had a whole local fish with all the accompaniments and all for less than $30 each. Overall we couldn't have been happier with our stay in Suite 1.
