Hidden Gem in Paradise – Absolutely Outstanding!I came down to Sri Lanka for meetings on Thursday and Friday, with more lined up on Monday and Tuesday. Over the weekend, I took the chance to get out of the city and escape Colombo—and I’m so glad I did. Kumu Beach is a true hidden gem and one of the best boutique hotel experiences I’ve ever had.From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel instantly relaxed and at home. The rooms are beautifully designed, spacious, and immaculately kept, offering stunning views and a real sense of calm and luxury.The chef at Kumu Beach is outstanding – every meal was a world-class experience, easily on Michelin star level. Each dish was a delight, blending creativity with fresh, local ingredients and flawless execution.The service was exceptional throughout my stay. Every staff member went the extra mile, always attentive, warm, and professional.If you’re in Sri Lanka and want to treat yourself to something special, Kumu Beach is a must. Peaceful, elegant, and unforgettable – I’m already looking forward to coming back.Highly recommended!

From the moment we booked until the day we checked out, the staff made us feel genuinely welcomed. Their warmth and attentiveness stood out throughout our stay.The food was great, and the space was spotless. One of the highlights was the daily happy hour, where complimentary drinks were served to all guests—such a lovely touch! I was also pleasantly surprised to find that all the mini-bar items were free.The pool area was another standout feature—heated and complete with a jacuzzi, making it a perfect spot to unwind. The hotel is also very family-friendly, even offering a dedicated kids’ menu.Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for comfort, care, and great value.

We stayed here for one night in October. Kumu Beach is a wonderful boutique hotel. Our room was on the first floor with a generous layout, a great bathroom and a balcony with direct ocean view. The team is highly professionel, efficient and attentive. Dinner and breakfast were both fabulous and one of the best we had during our trip. The area around the street (land side) is very photogenic. During our stay, some renovations were going on, which was a bit disturbing (bad luck for us, one week later all work was finished), but we found a good solution with the manager on duty.

Amazing service. The place was great, loved the view and the tranquility. Had easy access to the beach. Our host Prabath was very polite and accommodating. It was my spouse’s birthday and they organized a surprise cake and a small gift which was sweet of them. Our room had all facilities but it was somewhat small and didn’t have a proper window with a view. Maybe because it was a standard room. We weren’t very satisfied with the menu choices as it was limited and food were all local and catered to foreigners. Quite pricey too. Nevertheless, the breakfast choices were good and the plating was top-notch.
Location
Balapitiya Beach is a relatively untouched stretch of sand onSri Lanka’s sunset coast. Ambalangoda, a centre for arts andcrafts, is a 5-minute drive away, as is the launch pad for boattrips along the wildlife-filled Madu Ganga river. Galle Fort canbe reached in 1 hour, while you can get to Bentota, for watersports and the enviable garden estates of the lauded Bawabrothers in half an hour.
