“Above and beyond luxury and hospitality”

They had everything you needed, and if they didn’t they would get it for you. The rooms were spacious and so comfortable. The grounds were clean and relaxing

I had a beautiful stay in Kalapuwa Resort. The stuff and owner have been very friendly and always helpful. The owner organized an interesting boat tour and a day trip to Galle for me. I definitely enjoyed my stay in beautiful and calm nature landscape with a morning swim in the amazing pool. I also get an unexpected Upgrade of the room. I can definitively recommend this place. 🙏🙏

“This place offers more than what ypu pay.”

It has a very good view with the lake. Also staff is very friendly.

“Suitable for local guests, don't expect to be comfortable”

View of the lagoon and a couple of hours on the paddle boards exploring the mangroves. The structure of the building is elegant, the floor of polished concrete finish. It was appreciated the manager assisted with errands using own tuktuk and did not charge for a failed dinner.

The owner was so helpful, and he did his best to comfort us. Sightseeing is amazing, and you can see different birds, including eagles and hawks. The pool and the room was clean.

“A lovely small charming and friendly stay”

Very relaxed and friendly and very good food in a rather beautiful setting by a river

Thoughtful design, the cook whipped up an amazing Sri Lankan lunch on short notice. Support this locally owned, quiet corner by the water.

Lovely location, owner was so lovely and went above and beyond to make us comfortable - was really good about advising when there was a power cut and offering flexible options, even helped me get to an event in town when there were no other transport options! Food was also great, really nice rice and curry.

“A gem of a place run by a lovely host.”

The house was in a beautiful spot overlooking the Madhu river/lake in a calm environment. Jeevan the host was totally hands on and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable, we were there for 3 nights, and he was very knowledgeable about the wild life and birds. The food was amazing and plenty of it. Would thoroughly recommend Kalapuwa .

Very comfortable, beautiful surroundings, amazing pool. Even though we were the only ones staying there the owner made it feel very cozy and was very helpful with any issue we had

“Fantastic little gem!”

We visited at the end of our 2 week stay in Sri Lanka and it was easily the nicest hotel we've been to. The place felt like a little oasis with amazing views over the river, we spent a couple hours in the infinity pool watching eagles hunt there. Jeewana was a great host. He gave us a lot of tips of what to see in the area and even drove us to a sea turtle sanctuary. Fantastic stay, would definitely come back!

Amazing place, owner and staff are so friendly and helpful. The food is sooo goood. The lake and river view from the room and swimming pool is so relaxing. Rooms are very clean, and much more to say about this Resort. Highly recommended.

“Island dream. Insider experience”

My stay at Jeewanas was absolutely perfect and a more sri lankan experience than I had imagined. You really get to live in the real sri lanka at a beautifully calm location. Well with many sounds from nature though, but only those. The Kayaking on the lake is a must do too. Jeewana even made it possible to have some endemic fruits which I didn't get to find anywhere, not even at the best hotels and restaurants. If you choose this place, tell him what you wanna experience and enjoy. PS Sri Lanka is perfectly safe to visit, at least as safe as home (CH). Take a stroll through the neighborhood, you will be surprised. Experience the island for yourself and decide.

“A hidden gem on the lake”

Our stay was fabulous. We didn't know what to expect and the open plan design and layout of the resort is just gorgeous. The staff were friendly and very helpful and had a great time.

Amazing and quiet resort in balapitaya. View on the lake. Staff really friendly and helpful with anything. Definetly recommend.

“we had an amazing stay!”

Dont look any further. This should be your place to stay at. Great staff, beautiful view on the lake, comfortable rooms and nice swimming pool. You can use the kayaks for free and the surroundings here are stunning. A lot of different kind of birds, monkeys, bats and other animals to spot on the lake. The owner speaks good English and you can see he puts a lot of effort to make this place perfect for his guests.

“Peaceful place to stay”

Kalapuwa resort is that place what offers you a quiet and relaxing way to enjoy your holiday. The owner Givana is very helpful and friendly, plus great person to talk to about everything. They offer delicious food and if you want you don’t need to leave even from the hotel to enjoy calmness and your holiday. The owner has a horse (pony) named Flika who gives the spirit to Kalapuwa resort.

Such a great location! A calm place at the lake. You can start boat safari straight vom the Resort. Food is delicious! Usually I eat outside the stay, but in Kalapuwa Ressort I went for breakfast and dinner every day. Authentic kitchen with very good quality. The staff was so nice and welcoming. It really felt like home.

“Its an excellent place to spend your hardly earned vacation.”

The resort is very well designed and is located in the most picturesque location by the side of Madu Ganga. It is very serene environment with minimal disturbances from outside. An ideal location for some one loving calmness.
