10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (4 reviews)
"We enjoyed our stay at Kay Jay Palms. The rooms were spacious and very clean. A/C and fan combo kept the rooms cool in the day and night. We had breakfast and dinners there. The portion sizes were much more than we could finish. It is 5 min drive from Pasikuda beach which was very convenient for beach days in the morning and the ability to change before other activities in the afternoon. Overall a great experience. "

Frequently asked questions

Which area of Kalkudah is best to stay in for beaches?
The best area to stay in Kalkudah for beaches is along the main stretch of Kalkudah Beach itself, particularly the northern end where the bay offers calmer waters.

This area is ideal for those seeking a tranquil beach holiday. The main road runs parallel to the coastline, with hotels and guesthouses often having direct access to the sandy shores. You'll find plenty of space for sunbathing and swimming, and the waters are generally gentle, making it suitable for relaxed beach days.

Couples looking for a peaceful getaway will particularly enjoy this part of Kalkudah. Many resorts here offer private beach access, allowing for undisturbed relaxation and romantic strolls along the shore.
What is the best time of year to stay in a beach hotel in Kalkudah?
The most popular time to stay in a beach hotel in Kalkudah is from May to September. During these months, the weather is beautifully warm, with temperatures generally ranging from 28°C to 30°C, creating ideal conditions for enjoying the pristine beaches and turquoise waters. This period is superb for all sorts of watersports, from swimming and snorkelling to diving and paddleboarding, as the sea is calm and inviting. You'll find beachside activities in full swing, and hotels often arrange special events and excursions.

As another option, October offers an excellent alternative. While still wonderfully warm, it's a time when you may find better value on hotel stays and it can be easier to secure reservations at the most sought-after beachfront properties.
What beach activities should we do in Kalkudah?
Kalkudah, with its calm, shallow waters, is great for a variety of relaxing beach activities, focusing on swimming, snorkelling, and paddleboarding.

The main draw here is the extensive, sheltered bay, making it an ideal spot for a leisurely swim. The water is often crystal clear and remains shallow quite a distance from the shore, which is great for those who prefer not to be in deep water.

Families, especially those with younger children, will find Kalkudah's beach particularly suitable. The gentle waves and shallow entry mean kids can splash and play in the water under supervision without strong currents. Many hotels along the beachfront offer direct access, making it simple to pop back and forth throughout the day.

Couples looking for a peaceful escape will also appreciate the quiet nature of Kalkudah's beach. It's less crowded than some other Sri Lankan beaches, offering ample space for long walks along the shore or simply relaxing with a book.
Can I cancel my beach hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline. This is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use Expedia's "Fully refundable property" filter during your search to find the right beach hotel in Kalkudah for you.
How can I save on a beach hotel in Kalkudah with Expedia?

Find the best deals by being flexible with your dates, and sort search results by "Price: low to high" for our cheapest rates.
Is it cheaper to book a Kalkudah beach hotel and flights as a package?
