Kumu Beach
Chic and contemporary design next to serene nature
Kumu Beach is a modern, sleek boutique hotel that beautifully combines luxurious living with the stunning natural world. Simply steps from golden sand beaches, surrounded by swaying palms and set within lush green gardens, there’s a distinctive feeling of being at one with nature when you stay here.
There are just 10 bedrooms here, maintaining a wonderful exclusive and intimate environment. The three different room categories between them offer sea views, huge bathrooms, private balconies, direct access to the garden and across the board all the amenities to be expected in a luxury hotel. Simple design in neutral colours is favoured throughout the property with some stand out art and sculpture pieces. Alfresco social areas are echoed in the bedrooms where large windows and open doors allow for plenty of space and a feeling of relaxation.
Enjoy the large infinity swimming pool, spa, private restaurant and the opportunity to take part in many experiences from cooking classes to watersports.

Places to combine with Kumu Beach
Tea Country
The Ceylon Tea Trails resort is the ideal place from which to explore this breathtaking part of Sri Lanka.
Dating back to colonial times, five spacious bungalows feature antique furniture and exemplary, personalised service. With between four and six rooms, they are perfect for families and small groups.
All of the 26 rooms and suites, which are named after tea planters who lived there, are elegantly outfitted in natural colours and materials, and make for a tranquil escape. Spend time out on the veranda in the fresh mountain air enjoying the views of Castlereagh Lake, the Bogawantalawa Valley and Dunkeld Estate; or curl up with a book in front of a fire.
Take long, leisurely walks through the tea plantations learning all about the ancient process of making tea, enjoy a tempting spread of sweet treats on the lawns or have a light lunch at the pool side. Sri Lankan-inspired meals at Ceylon Tea Trails feature the freshest of seasonal produce with home grown vegetables, herbs and teas from the estate. Rates at Tea Trails are fully inclusive of meals and drinks.
Make the most of the calming surroundings and start the day with an aromatic bath, or treat yourself to a selection of therapeutic spa treatments in your room. Get a healthy dose of fresh air and explore some of the walking and biking routes through the mountains, or enjoy a game of tennis or croquet.
