Kumu Beach

This modern, villa-style property opens its windows out to the ocean beyond and boasts an incredibly intimate atmosphere with only 10, chic rooms. You'll enjoy ultra-personalised service thanks to both its small size and incredible friendly attentive staff who'll treat you like an old friend come to stay awhile. Spend your days sipping iced Ceylon tea beneath the palms and come evening take to the tables scattered across the sprawling lawn and dine under the inky star-spotted sky. The food here is next level, you've got to try the famous Sri Lankan hoppers and those coconut-encrusted tiger prawns ... you'll soon taste why! The perfect spot for zen-seekers and beach bums alike.
