Elements Beach & Nature Resort  

On Sri Lanka’s northwest coast fronting Kappalady Kite Lagoon, a 22-acre beachfront hideaway sits near Alankuda Beach and St. Anne’s Shrine. It’s minutes from kite spots and nature parks — think Ruwala Nature & Adventure Park, the Dutch Fort of Kalpitiya and Wilpattu National Park. Pet-friendly and family-friendly, this is a beach-and-lagoon base for watersports and wildlife days out.

A small collection of beach- and lagoon-side villas, cabanas and guest rooms nestle into lush tropical vegetation for a barefoot-luxury vibe. Rooms come with minibars and private balconies or patios, plus rainfall showers, safes and daily housekeeping. Expect spacious, nature-first living with easy access to the sand and sea.

Pick from an outdoor pool, bicycles to rent, barbecue areas and a beach bar for sunset drinks — wake up to sea-breeze mornings and head straight for kitesurfing, dolphin-watching, kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding. Complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily; concierge and tour desk help book local excursions.

Complimentary Wi‑Fi across the property, a 24-hour front desk and luggage storage make short stays and remote work simple. Laundry and dry-cleaning services, a safe-deposit box and a roundtrip airport shuttle (surcharge) are available, plus free on-site parking or valet options.

On-site dining includes an Asian-fusion restaurant, a coffee shop/café and a beach bar for casual bites and cocktails. Start the day with a complimentary buffet breakfast (served mornings) and order room service during limited hours for late returns from the water.
