Kayaam Wellness

beautifully located at a secluded beach and amazing views of the pool. The staff goes beyond to make you feel comfortable and offered daily yoga and meditation sessions. The Spa is amazing and offers traditional Ayurvedic treatments and have an experienced Ayurvedic doctor on site guiding you through the treatments.

I recently stayed at Kayaam House Tangalla and was impressed by the overall experience. The rooms were well-maintained and comfortable, and the food was excellent, showcasing a delightful range of flavors. However, my experience was marred by one staff member, Isiwara. Unfortunately, his attitude and service were very poor, and he was unfriendly throughout our stay. His behavior felt suspicious and unprofessional, which is disappointing given the high standards set by the rest of the team. I would have gladly given a 5-star rating if not for this negative interaction. I hope the management addresses this issue because such behavior can tarnish the reputation of an otherwise great hotel.

The architecture of the property was beautiful, the grounds were stunning and with a super quiet beach right in front of the property. The staff were kind and made us a cake (even gluten free for me) for our honeymoon and decorated the room which was appreciated.

The prices of the food were super high, the highest we had in the entirety of our trip in Sri Lanka. Unlike the other Resplendent hotel we stayed at, the service & tax charges are on top of the already expensive costs. Whilst a relaxed space the hotel didn't have as much of a vibe as other luxury hotels we visited on our holiday.

Kayaam House is an absolute gem and deserves every bit of praise. The location is stunning, offering tranquility views that feel like stepping into paradise. The food is exceptional—every meal is a delight, perfectly crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The staff truly stand out. They are incredibly attentive and always go above and beyond to make sure every need is met. The entire hotel property is meticulously maintained, with charm and serenity. Kayaam House is the perfect place to disconnect and recharge. The peaceful environment, combined with the beautiful beachfront, makes it ideal for mindful relaxation. If you’re looking for a luxurious, peaceful getaway, Kayaam House is second to none!

We went to Kayaam House for part of our honeymoon to Sri Lanka. It was perfect! So gorgeous and serene. You're right on the beach - the beach is peaceful - there is no one on it and it stretches as far as you can see. When we were there, the waves were too big to swim but walking along the beach was still lovely. The pool is gorgeous! Perfect temperature and big. Loved it! The rooms are clean and fresh. Great having the smart TV too. Our room was facing the beach so we could hear the waves at night (sometimes they break quite loudly!) - so it was helpful that they supplied complimentary ear plugs. The food is great! And the staff are wonderful. They also host meditation and yoga classes in their outdoor hut by the pool every day - we did this and it was such a lovely way to start the day.

Some sheer curtains (along with the existing blackout curtains) would be great so we could have some privacy in our pool/beach-facing room without needing to shut the curtains completely.

The architecture and design was amazing

The rooms needed a perforated door to avoid mosquitoes. The Ayurveda needs more effort as I am from India

Our stay at Kayaam House was the best hotel experience we have had and we will remember it for a long time. The hotel is extremely stylish and has a beautiful location. The kitchen did an exceptional job, every dish was a delight and incredibly tasty. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly to ensure we had a great stay. We also booked an Ayuverda retreat and have never come back from a vacation so refreshed and healthy (many thanks to the massage team, the doctor and our yoga teachers). Very special thanks to Ishan (manager), Arthika, Buddhika and the whole team for these days in paradise. We could not have imagined it any better.

A hidden gem of serenity, this hotel was a blissful escape. The staff radiates warmth and attentiveness, creating an experience that feels both intimate and refined. The cuisine was exquisite—each dish a delight, from the rich risotto to the perfectly prepared Angus beef. Immaculately clean and thoughtfully designed, the hotel has just nine rooms, ensuring a peaceful retreat untouched by crowds. After five days of thrilling adventures and vibrant encounters across Sri Lanka, this sanctuary offered the ideal place to unwind and recharge—a quiet, beautiful haven that felt like the perfect pause. Compliments to the staff!

In the Netherlands and Europe, we’re fortunate to have access to a diverse selection of fine wines from many regions, setting a high bar. While the hotel’s wine selection was okay and enjoyable, it didn’t quite capture the variety we’re used to back home. They could try to better match their variety of dishes with the palette of wine available. Nonetheless, the overall experience was so exceptional that this felt like a minor detail in an otherwise unforgettable stay.
