Getting here

How to get to Valampuri, Kalpitiya

We are on the Kalpitiya peninsula, about 130 km — roughly 3 to 3.5 hours by road — north of Colombo's international airport (CMB). Most guests come by private transfer, which we arrange, but there are cheaper options too.

  • Fly into Colombo (CMB) — the country's main international airport
  • Private transfer — arranged by us, door to door, timed to your flight
  • Taxi apps — PickMe or Uber run from the airport if you prefer to organise it yourself
  • Budget route — bus or train to Puttalam, then a short local taxi to Kalpitiya

Airport transfer

Let us handle the drive

The simplest way to arrive is a private transfer we book for you. Send your flight details and we arrange a driver to meet you at Colombo airport and bring you straight to the resort — no queuing for taxis after a long flight, no haggling, no wrong turns on the peninsula.

  • Roughly a 3 to 3.5 hour drive, timed to your landing
  • Named driver meets you in arrivals
  • Return transfers to the airport arranged the same way
  • Fixed price quoted up front — you know the cost before you land

Send your flight date and time and how many of you are travelling, and we will quote and confirm the pickup.

FAQ

Booking, weather and payments

How do I check availability?

Send your dates, group size and experience level on WhatsApp or through the form on this page. We reply with availability, a recommended course or package and a full price before you commit to anything.

Do I need to pay a deposit to enquire?

No. Asking costs nothing and there is no deposit to start a conversation. If your specific dates need a deposit to hold a spot, we will tell you clearly and in writing first.

What if the wind does not cooperate?

Lesson hours are rescheduled within your stay wherever possible, and weather-cancelled boat trips are rescheduled or refunded. We would rather move a session than teach in conditions where you learn nothing.

How can I pay?

Prices are quoted in EUR, and payment is accepted in USD, EUR or LKR at the day rate. Ask us about current card options when you book.

Can I book accommodation through you?

Yes — either as a kite package that bundles lessons, room and meals, or you can book rooms directly with Valampuri Resort. We will point you to whichever is simpler for your trip.

Do you cater to non-kiting partners?

Absolutely. We price partner stays on a room-and-meals basis so nobody pays for lessons they will not take, and there is plenty for them to do around the lagoon.

Booking terms

How booking works

We keep booking simple and fair. Here are the principles — the exact figures for your trip are always confirmed in writing before you pay anything.

Full written terms are shared with your booking confirmation. Have a specific question? Just ask us.

Cancellation policy

If your plans change

Travel plans shift — we get it, and we try to be reasonable. These are the cancellation terms; they are confirmed again with your booking.

Cancelling between 30 and 15 days before arrival is handled on a sliding basis — ask us and we will confirm the exact figure for your dates.

Ready when you are

Dates, people, level, and what you're after — that's all we need to get you a real answer.
