In front of the two hotels Royal Palms Beach and Tangerine, the beach is properly clean. North of these hotels, very dirty and no cleaning whatsoever it seems.
Kalutara administration has a huge potential for improvement if they are really keen on attracting tourists.

The ideal time to visit the long beaches of Kalutara is from September to April where the sea is calm and less waves. The North Area is more touristic and the Kalutara town and calido beach is more popular with locals. the Kalu Ganga also flows and meets the Indian Ocean in Kalutara.

We have just completed an amazing 2 day tour for my partners birthday using suresh tours. We were introduced to him by someone who has been visiting for years and he didn't disappoint. He planned our trip to the wildlife national park, hotel stay and sigiri rock. The journey was easy wirh as many stops as needed, the hotel villa fresco was beautiful with dinner and breakfast included and suresh even organised a cake.
It was lovely to be able to trust someone to do as they promised and even go that one step further. He did not over charge and was as good as his word on all trips we took with him. He helped make our holiday truly amazing. Thank you Suresh.

Silky soft sand - just like walking on silk! So relaxing and clean with a gentle breeze at times which eases up the sun factor now & then (Visited Feb 2007)

Spectacular but not for families - only for strong swimmers. Is a very long beach you can walk along

Very soft sand that you sink into, good fun watching all the crabs fly out in front of you and run for the sea. Lots of people selling goods and tours but all are polite and not pushy.

The beach on this side of the island is all you would want if the sea was calmer. During our two weeks the red flag flew every day . Dont risk it

I like to know, on walking distance from the Avantara kalutara resort, are there any reasonable priced restaurants and places for a massage.

Hi. I would suggest you to eat at the hotel. Some restaurants outside do not serve quality food (Small places).
The next best option is you can go to Avani Kalutara for your dining and spa. Avani and Anantara is next to each other. Walking distance - 100m or less than that. So easy to walk from one to the other. It serves good quality food. So up to u to decide.

est ce que les plages à Bentota sont mieux pour la baignade que celles de Kalutra ? merci

Entre juin et octobre, il n'est pas recommandé de se baigner sur la côte ouest de manière générale. Mais Bentota est mieux protégé que Kalutara contre les courants et les grosses vagues donc on peut quand même aller dans l'océan.
La saison idéale pour Kalutara et toute la côte ouest est ± entre décembre et mars.

Bonjour il n'y a pas de photo des bungalows, serait il possible d'en avoir ?
merci

Pas de photos de bungalows pour la simple raison qu'il n'y a pas de bungalows, juste des belle grandes chambres, sur deux étages, toutes plus ou moins similaires avec un immense lit deux places très confortable et une grande salle de bain. Les chambres sont assez vastes pour qu'on puisse circuler malgré un 3e lit rajouté
Notez par ailleurs que le "SPA" se résume à des cabines de massage. Pas de jacuzzi, hammam ou sauna...

See my answer above. Just enjoy yourself. I would also recommend eating where the locals eat as these have some fabulous cheap food and there is always plenty of it and the locals will always help you if you are unsure. Always remember DO NOT DRINK THE WATER unless it is bottled.
