Blue Kite Retreat, nestled in the tranquil seaside village
of
Kalpitiya, is a dreamy haven where luxury and exploration coexist. This lovely four-bedroom property
was purchased in 2023 and has been painstakingly repaired to become our treasured vacation residence
as well as a warm hideaway for visitors.
Blue Kite is conveniently situated approximately 140 kilometers from Bandaranaike International
Airport (CMB), which is roughly a two-hour and forty-five-minute drive away. With an oversized
swimming pool, lush surroundings, and thoughtfully designed interiors, our villa is more than a
destination — it's a place to create memories.
As a family-operated retreat, we are dedicated to providing
a warm, home-like atmosphere for our guests. While we embrace the villa's rich heritage and offer
modern amenities, please note that certain services, such as card payments, may not be available. We
strive to ensure your stay is comfortable, engaging, and truly unforgettable.
We look forward to welcoming you to BlueKite Retreat, where cherished memories are made.
Renowned blues guitarist Glenn Terry and his partner Carolyn had originally
envisioned this villa as the center of their hospitality and artistic aspirations. In addition to
his melodies, Glenn, whose music moved many, left behind this lovely sanctuary. Constructed with
affection and creativity, the property thrived as ‘’Blue Kite’’ under their care until Glenn’s
tragic passing away in 2016.
We started restoring this cherished retreat in 2023 and rebranded it as Blue Kite Retreat. It now
serves as both a warm haven for tourists and our treasured holiday home.
Our villa features four spacious rooms, each approximately 550 square feet: Each room is named after cherished dry zone fruits from our childhood, reflecting the cultural heritage of the region.
