Sri Lanka is known as the most exotic kiteboarding destinations in Asia. It is the perfect kiteboarding spot for anyone. It doesn’t matter what you prefer, there is something for everyone; flat water, waves, and lagoons.

In the summertime, you’ll find the perfect kiting conditions. If you're there in the winter on the windless days, you can enjoy the amazing excursions that Sri Lanka has to offer. A few of the most popular things to do, other than kiteboarding, is visiting some of their beautiful national parks, diving, dolphin and whale watching, or even just getting a massage after a long day.

One of the funnest parts of planning your trip is choosing where to stay; there are many beautiful boutique hotels; our favorites are those with bungalows on the sand. The Kalpitiya area is perfect for those looking for a more quiet and relaxed time, here you will find endless beaches and not too many tourists.
