Teardrop Hotels has expanded its boutique collection with the opening of Kalkudah Beach House, an intimate beachfront sanctuary on Sri Lanka’s untouched East Coast. Tucked within a secluded coconut estate, this five-bedroom retreat offers breathtaking ocean views, barefoot luxury, and total seclusion. The rooms are split between two beautiful villas: The Main House and Palm Villa, and share a stunning 22-meter infinity pool.
Kalkudah Beach House’s restored Dutch-style arches create open-plan living spaces that seamlessly connect to a vast coconut estate, with unrestricted access to the swaying palm trees and the Indian Ocean. Interiors feature locally sourced materials and art, handcrafted furnishings, and environmentally conscious design elements to reflect sustainable luxury, including solar power and an on-site water purification plant.
The launch of Kalkudah Beach House signals an exciting moment for Sri Lanka’s evolving tourism landscape. Discover a coastline of clear waters teeming with marine life, pristine golden beaches, and a deep cultural heritage.
Key highlights of the East Coast experience include diving and snorkeling adventures through vibrant coral reefs, WWII shipwrecks, and encounters with diverse marine life. Between May and August, Trincomalee offers an ideal window for whale and dolphin watching, with sightings of blue whales, sperm whales, and playful dolphins. Local excursions feature visits to the historic Dutch Fort in Batticaloa and serene sunset cruises across Kalkudah Bay. Additionally, the region’s proximity, just 90 minutes, to Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle makes it easy to explore iconic UNESCO sites like Sigiriya Rock Fortress and the ancient city of Polonnaruwa on enriching day trips.
Kalkudah Beach House is the eighth property in the Teardrop Hotels portfolio, a collection of authentic boutique properties in stunning locations throughout Sri Lanka that capture the destination’s vibe, in which they stand, offering a window into the island’s diverse landscapes and heritage. Kalkudah Beach House can be booked by the room, villa, or as an entire private haven. The addition of Kalkudah Beach House aims to enhance this seamless journey – from misty tea plantations to ancient cultural sites, from the historic charm of Galle Fort to the pristine shores of the East Coast.
