I don’t know where to begin! The photos don’t even do this property justice - the rooms, the pool, the sunsets and the peaceful vibe of this hotel are unmatched. We were lucky enough to get married here and spend 3 nights with our family and I can’t explain to you how beautiful it was. The whole team went above and beyond to make it the most special time for us - can’t thank them enough! The food was AMAZING, the sunset was the best we’ve ever seen and the private beach made this property an absolute stand out. This is somewhere you could stay for a week or more as the room, location and food are just perfect to unwind and relax. The rooms and bathrooms are huge and absolutely stunning, all with amazing views and we had the best sleeps here. We were technically here in “off season” and it was still incredible due to the awesome pool that feels like it’s floating above the ocean. The beach is also basically private due to the hotels position and it is so so beautiful. We will certainly be back - I even cried leaving Kumu Beach after having best experience and not wanting to leave. Lucky we were going to more Teardrop Group properties after - all of which are amazing! ALL the staff, chefs and management were so accommodating and my family cannot thank them enough for the most beautiful time.

Kumu is a beautifully appointed guest house, beach front with five star service. Our daughter decided to have her destination wedding at the property, which was amazing. The staff made sure the day was memorable with a dash of Sri Lankan culture, which included traditional Sri Lankan dancers and singers, concluding with a delicious Sri Lankan Feast for all the family. Our Australian family of all ages really enjoyed the property, especially relaxing and swimming in the lovely pool. We had a variety of room types and all were well appointed and luxurious. Breakfast which is included in the tariff was the best we had in Sri Lanka. The massage was awesome and just what we all needed after travelling. Could not fault this property or its staff. The staff organised day trips to amazing Galle Fort which is only a short drive away. We hope to return as it was such a wonderful accommodation. It is awesome for groups and families and also works for couples. Social hour is a fabulous chance to enjoy a GnT with other guests. We enjoyed the company of the other guests that were from all over the world. If you prefer a quiet Social Hour there are plenty of locations on the property that you can enjoy a private drink or two. Walks on the beach are especially romantic as it is very private with hardly any people on it. However, if you are travelling with a group or a large family, and do not wish to rent a villa, this is the perfect location. The staff go above and beyond to make sure everyone has an incredible time.

Who designed and brought to fruition this garden of tranquility and beauty? I spent three perfect nights here (first night with a friend and two solo) during the off season. A storm hit the coast on the first night and the waves of the Indian Ocean crashed against those beach rocks at Kumu like God's wrath were about to be unleashed. When morning arrived, the staff had already cleared away all evidence of the previous night's inclement weather and I enjoyed a tasty breakfast of egg hoppers and curry on the breezy deck of the hotel. The setting has to be experienced to be fully appreciated. So postcard-perfect it was surreal: from the swaying coconut trees to the view beyond from the infinity pool. The staff is unintrusively attentive and happy to please. They take a stay at Kumu Beach over the top and are key to what was a memorable vacation. The menu is extensive. Chef Indika-- how does he manage it? There are so many items to choose from, considering there aren't more than a dozen rooms on site. He and his staff do a stellar job consistently turning out fresh, yummy, and beautifully presented dishes. Rooms are well-kept and thoughtfully equipped with attention-to-detail I appreciated (like a beach bag I could use while I was there). Thank you to Ruchira, Chef Indika, Lahiru, Yugan, Nilanchana, and many others whose names I didn't catch for your hospitality and sharing the spirit of Sri Lanka with me. If I'm lucky, I'll return next time for a longer stay!

We’ve stayed at Kumu thrice now and would not hesitate to return! We simply cannot fault anything. From the friendly service to the unfailingly consistent excellence of the food every single time, Kumu feels like coming home. The easy access to the relatively private, wide stretch of beach is a big plus.

Thank you all the staff at this wonderful Kumu Beach hotel. It is truly a piece of paradise on the West Coast of Sri Lanka. Everybody there was so friendly and helpful with ready smiles. The room was stunning and had a beautiful view over the ocean, perfect for watching the setting sun. The food was delicious (incredible breakfasts!) and the infinity swimming pool was idyllic! Thank you to all! Kelda and Mark Little
