Luis & Family:
"Wir waren uns unsicher, ob wir nach Sri Lanka reisen sollten. Es war die beste Entscheidung!"
...a sustainable source for wellbeing
Amidst the lush sound of the Indian ocean and the warm sand below your feet you can enjoy your meal at our beach restaurant Kalpitiya in a unique setting, a warm and authentic atmosphere next to the beach. The Elements beach restaurant is known for the best ocean ambience in Kalpitiya...a peaceful beach getaway for honeymooners, families, nature lovers and kitesurfers alike.
There is always something magic about burning flames right at the beach. To celebrate the ELEMENT of FIRE and to enjoy the community amongst our guest, once a week we light the legendary Elements Beach Barbeque and feature the flames with fresh barracuda, tiger prawns or a whole tuna, a Spanish Maqrel or Garupa. It all depends on the days catch! Voted “Best beach barbecue in Kalpitiya”.
As we care about the health of our guest we grow our very own fruit, vegetable and herbs organically. Our chef then turns them skillfully into delicious variations of authentic Sri Lankan dishes. The Elements kitchen is one of the few offering organic vegan food in Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka.
Our fellow vegan guest told us that they can happily enjoy about 80% of the dishes prepared by our chef. An homage for vegan food Sri Lanka.
If you have special needs let us know - our kitchen team will try their level best to make it happen: YES WE CAN is our mindset.
Kitesurfing, SUP & Kayaking in Kappalady, Kalpitiya
Kappalady Lagoon Kitesurfing
In 2005 we were the first to kitesurf in Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka. We have explored the entire Kalpitiya penisula and finally choose the best location to establish the Elements beach hotel in Sri Lanka. Our vision for Elements and Kite Center Sri Lanka started to materialize and in 2012 we started to operate our kite school at the windiest spot in Sri Lanka. At KAPPALADY BEACH. The combination of the best wind conditions and the ocean meeting the flatwater lagoons here in front of our beach hotel, make this the most versatile and best kite spot in Sri Lanka. Due to our wind exposition we have the strongest and most consistent wind throughout entire Sri Lanka.
As our kite school is right in front the beach, next to the lagoon and next to our swimming pool, kitesurfers claim it to be the ultimate setting for a kite school in Sri Lanka. In the waist-deep, warm water of the Kappalady lagoon beginners find ideal conditions to learn kitesurfing.
We are the official representative of INDIANA SUP in Asia. With INDIANA, we have a solid product partner guaranteeing Swiss quality for our standup paddling fleet in Sri Lanka. As Elements is situated right WITHIN the natural lagoon system, our paddlers find themselves all year round in the best standup paddling SUP spot in Sri Lanka.
The main kite season in Sri Lanka is May – October. We have a second kite season in Sri Lanka which is December - March.
SUP season Sri Lanka is all year round as parts of the lagoons are shielded from the wind by natural mangroves.

Elements - Sustainable beach hotel in Kappalady Kalpitiya
At Elements, we have committed ourselves to a sustainable operation throughout:
CARBON FOOTPRINT: We use solar energy as the main source of electric power. We have established our own vegetable and fruit garden on our premises and purchase local products whenever possible. Beach cleaning and transports are done by traditional ox cart (cows are not emission free, but we believe them to be the more sustainable solution than a vehicle taking into account all the energy and material consumption for building and proper disposal).
ZERO PLASTIC: Wherever possible we have cut down the purchasing and use of plastic (like plastic bottles, plastic straws and plastic wrapping). Plastic waste really is an unsolved problem in Sri Lanka.
REDUCE - REUSE - RECYCLE: Our general policy when it comes to use of all sorts of resources.
CARE FOR LOCAL COMMUNITY: Business is done with local workers, craftsmen, fishermen, dealers, manufacturers and contractors whenever possible. The lagoon is reserved for prawn fishermen in the evening (we stop kitesurfing in the lagoon at 5pm). Finally, Elements has supported the building of the local kindergarden (St. Peter's Early Child Care Development Centre) which can be visited by our guests.
