Kumu Beach

An amazing find. A small hotel in a magnificent setting overlooking one of the best sandy beaches ever. A large infinity pool surrounded by lawns and palm trees. Superb staff all really friendly and helpful and lovely airy rooms. Excellent food with the chef coming out to talk to us about it.

Wonderful stay at Kumu Beach, mainly due to the amazing team there. Of course there is also the breathtaking views, the delicious food and very comfy bedrooms. We loved every minute of it and cannot wait to try the other properties of the Teardrop Collection.

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.

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.

This hotel truly is exceptional. It is intimate and stylish in a beautiful beach setting. All the staff are gracious and friendly, going out of their way to make every guest feel special. They even trawled the swimming pool early in the morning before we were up to retrieve my husband’s lost wedding ring. We were delighted when it was found as we never expected to se it again. Rooms are light and airy, with wonderful views across the garden and beach. The bathrooms are huge with every amenity one could possibly need. What could possibly be nicer than to lie in our supremely comfortable bed at night listening to the waves crashing on the shore? The food is excellent, with plenty of choice and always presented with utmost care. If are considering staying at Kumu beach do-not hesitate. You will love it.
