Hotels in Puttalam District, Sri Lanka

Puttalam is a coastal district in Sri Lanka's dry zone, with year-round temperatures around 27°C (80°F). It's famous for its vast salt pans and the Kalpitiya peninsula, where strong winds make it a prime spot for kite surfing and windsurfing in the clear waters of Puttalam Lagoon. During the dry season from December to April, you can ride the steady breeze at Kalpitiya, while the rainier months from May to September bring cheaper room rates and quieter beaches perfect for dolphin-watching tours.
