Where the ocean murmurs and the palms sway, KK Beach is a sun-drenched sanctuary on Sri Lanka’s bouji south coast—just moments from Galle’s old-world charm and the surf-sprayed sands of Talpe
Just two and a half hours from Colombo International Airport, KK Beach is a chic, intimate boutique hotel perched directly on a golden stretch of coastline near Habaraduwa. With just 10 ocean-facing suites, this serene retreat is the kind of place where you can truly exhale—beautifully low-key, wonderfully grown-up, and effortlessly stylish.
This is one of three well-loved Sri Lankan properties created by British hotelier George Cooper, a charismatic and seasoned host who brings warmth and flair in equal measure. Whether he’s floating between his hotels or personally greeting returning guests, George’s presence ensures a sense of laid-back luxury that feels more like staying with a wonderfully connected friend than a formal hotel.
Each of the ten suites is light-filled and spacious, featuring king-sized beds, handcrafted details, and private balconies or terraces overlooking the Indian Ocean. Interiors are a tasteful nod to coastal living, with navy-and-white accents, elegant textiles, and thoughtful design touches that never overstate. With a maximum occupancy of three, the hotel lends itself naturally to couples and adults—though families are warmly welcomed.
You’ll wake to the sound of waves and start the day with fresh tropical breakfasts served by the beach, before deciding whether it’s a day for sunbathing by the 20m palm-fringed pool, exploring Galle Fort, or hopping in the complimentary tuk-tuk to Kahanda Kanda, its equally stylish hilltop sister property.
Whether you’re reclining under palms by the pool or wandering barefoot onto the golden sands just beyond, KK Beach invites a slower pace. This is a place for languid afternoons with a good book, horizon-gazing with a fresh juice in hand, and the simple pleasure of doing very little—beautifully.
The onsite Bamboo Restaurant & Bar is a highlight in its own right, offering a menu inspired by Sri Lankan flavours and coastal ingredients, with standout seafood and vibrant fusion dishes. Dine poolside or under the stars with the ocean as your backdrop—or stroll into Habaraduwa town (just 500m away), where you’ll find an excellent array of local restaurants and beach cafés.
Effortlessly elegant and wonderfully intimate, this is the kind of boutique hotel where you’re looked after with care and charm—just the way it should be, and never overdone.
Why Book KK Beach?

Add sublime food, the quiet charisma of its British owner George, and access to its sister hotel Kahanda Kanda, and it’s easy to see why KK Beach is one of our favourites.
