Dolphin Beach Resort, Beachfront resort in Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka.
Dolphin Beach Resort is a beachfront property in Kalpitiya featuring air-conditioned tent pavilions along Alankuda Beach, combining outdoor lodging with contemporary comforts through canvas and wooden structures. The complex offers accommodations, dining facilities, and organized water and outdoor activities for guests.
The resort was completed in November 2010 under the architectural direction of Christine Wallbeoff, with involvement from the local Kalpitiya community. The opening established this beachfront hospitality venue at this location.
The establishment blends Sri Lankan hospitality traditions with Italian cooking styles, serving local seafood alongside Mediterranean dishes prepared in wood-fired ovens. Visitors experience how these two culinary worlds come together in daily dining.
The property sits roughly 150 kilometers south of Colombo and about 120 kilometers from Bandaranaike International Airport. Management arranges airport transfers and offers boat trips along with water sports instruction during your stay.
The grounds house a certified kite surfing school staffed by trained instructors offering lessons for different skill levels. Additionally, regular boat outings are organized to spot large dolphin pods in the Indian Ocean.
