Blue Kite Retreat, nestled away in the tranquil seaside village of Kalpitiya, is a dreamy haven where luxury and exploration coexist. This lovely four-bedroom property was purchased in 2023 and has been painstakingly repaired to become our treasured vacation bungalow as well as a warm hideaway for visitors. Blue Kite is conveniently situated approximately 140 kilometers from Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), which is roughly a two-hour and forty-five-minute drive away. With an oversized swimming pool, lush surroundings, and thoughtfully designed interiors, our bungalow is more than a destination—it’s a place to create memories. As a family-operated retreat, we are dedicated to providing a warm, home-like atmosphere for our guests. While we embrace the villa's rich heritage and offer modern amenities, please note that certain services, such as card payments, may not be available. We strive to ensure your stay is comfortable, engaging, and truly unforgettable. A Legacy of Music and Hospitality Renowned blues guitarist Glenn Terry and his partner Carolyn had originally envisioned this villa as the center of their hospitality and artistic aspirations. In addition to his melodies, Glenn, whose music moved many, left behind this lovely sanctuary. Constructed with affection and creativity, the property thrived as ‘’Blue Kite’’ under their care until Glenn’s tragic passing away in 2016. We started restoring this cherished retreat in 2023 and rebranded it as Blue Kite Retreat. It now serves as both a warm haven for tourists and our treasured holiday home. Bungalow features four spacious rooms, each approximately 560 square feet:

This coastal sanctuary, renowned for its unspoiled beauty and abundant marine species, provides more than simply a place to escape—it’s a canvas for unforgettable experiences. Kalpitiya, a town that has become a global kitesurfing hotspot, is the inspiration behind the name and attitude of our retreat, BlueKite Retreat. The constant winds that pull riders as they glide across the ocean often bring vibrant kites to life along the coastline. Whether it’s a tourist in the area, a dolphin jumping through the waves, or a kite-surfer dominating the waves, BlueKite Retreat captures the excitement and liberation that these winds provide.
