Why we love Kalkudah Beach House
We love Kalkudah Beach House for its really interesting past. Originally a family holiday home, it somehow survived Sri Lanka’s civil war and the 2004 tsunami, with its charming Dutch-style windows and doors still standing strong. Now it’s been beautifully restored to become Kalkudah Beach House.
