About us
Kitesurfing Lanka β A home for kitesurfer, wing foiler & free spirits
Founded in 2010 by Dilsiri Welikala β Sri Lankaβs first local instructor β and LΓ©o Moret, Kitesurfing Lanka was born from a shared dream. What started as one of the first kite camps in Kalpitiya has evolved into a thriving resort for water sports lovers worldwide. (Tap βOur Storyβ to dive deeper into our journey.)
Set on 8 acres of beachfront, our camp offers direct access to both the Kalpitiya lagoon’s flat water and the ocean waves beyond the sandbank. Itβs a welcoming place for all levelsβwhether youβre here to master your first meters with our Kiteschool Sri Lanka instructors or to push your limits in the open sea.
As one of the most established destinations for kitesurfing in Sri Lanka, we provide everything you need for the perfect ride. From professional kitesurfing lessons Kalpitiya to high-end kite rental Sri Lanka services and wingfoil Kalpitiya coaching, weβve got you covered.
Between sessions, enjoy our lush gardens, the chillout bar, or our seaside restaurant.
At KSL, youβre not just booking a room; youβre joining a vibrant community.
Kitesurfing & wing foiling adventures in Sri Lanka
Located on the Kalpitiya Peninsula, Kitesurfing Lanka is your gateway to one of Asiaβs most versatile watersports destinations. Our unique location offers direct access to a protected lagoon with butter-flat water and gentle ocean waves just beyond the sandbank.
This rare combination creates beginner-friendly conditions ideal for learning, while providing the perfect playground for advanced progression. Whether you are here for kitesurfing, wing foiling, or wakeboarding, our Kiteschool Sri Lanka provides expert instruction and professional kite rental Sri Lanka services to get you on the water with the best equipment.
Kalpitiya offers two reliable kite seasons in Kalpitiya, making it a world-class destination throughout most of the year.
-
Summer Season (mid-May β mid-October): Expect strong, consistent cross-shore wind averaging 18β25 knots, with peaks up to 30 knots. Itβs the peak time for non-stop action from dawn till dusk.
-
Winter Season (mid-December β mid-March): Offers lighter, steady afternoon winds ranging from 15β25 knots. Mornings are perfect for yoga, diving, or dolphin and whale watching.
Both seasons are warm and dry with water temperatures around 27Β°C, meaning you can kite without a wetsuit all year. While the wind direction shifts between seasons, the adventure remains the same: reliable wind, warm water, and a variety of spots to explore for every beginner or advanced kitesurfer.

Best kitesurfing spot for solo travelers
I had the most amazing stay here. The camp is perfect for solo travelers, has an awesome vibe and a super friendly staff. I came here for 24 days and we had wind 90% of the time so we could kitesurf at least once a day (first half of the trip it was even possible to kitesurf both in the morning and afternoon).

Great experience staying with Kitesurfing Lanka! I had 9 night in an AC bungalow with the lake view, which was truest amazing. Food is good, cleanliness is top notch and most importantly the staff is truly the best!

A great place to learn kite
This is a safe and lovely place to learn. Pick up from the airport was β¬85 each way, but it is a 3 hour drive (in a comfortable van with aircon so I slept most of it!). Arrived in time to sort room and do an afternoon lesson.
