Liked · We loved the staff and the vibe of Margarita Village. The set up of the cabana’s are really nice, all facing a central garden area with the restaurant at the end in the middle. The breakfasts were yummy and the Kite Surfing lessons were great. Had a really great time meeting lots of different people. You can also use a couple of bikes to get in to town if you like (10 minutes).

Liked · I had such an amazing stay at Margarita Village Thanks to Ruben and all his team for the wonderful time. Not only i learned how to kite surf in margarita but i met lots of awesome people wether locals or foreigners from all globe corners which really added so much to my experience. The whole team at village or the beachboys the lagoon are always at your service with a genuine smile, friendly and professional at the same time. Wether newbie or advanced level i highly recommend you check out Margarita kite school. It has it all and you’ll never go wrong. I will definitely come back here again for another windy season

Liked · It’s a lovely place to stay. Very basic huts with outdoor showers with a beautiful garden. Breakfast and Dinner are homemade and really delicious and it’s nice to sit outside together with all the other guests. The guys running this place and working there are really helpful and friendly and take care of everyone. Exceptional are the kitesurfing lessons! The lagoon is really suitable for beginners and Eusebi and Mario (our instructors) really get you on to the water and onto the board very fast! They are also very nice and make sure you stay safe and have fun while learning! It was a real pleasure and it surely this wasn’t our last stay here! Highly recommend it!

Liked · I booked for 4 nights, ended up staying for 3 weeks! Margarita Village and kite centre became my home away from home. The cabins are comfortable and very spacy, with a huge outdoor bathroom, a comfy bed, fan to cool you down, and a chill porch and hammock. The staff goes that extra mile to make all your wishes come true..a fresh coconut, extra towel or just a nice chat, no worries! The breakfast and especially the dinner are just the best! The local chef knows how to prepare his country’s great food, but also cooks up the best tuna and Spanish dishes. Probably influenced by the Spanish owners 😉 Every day is a treat with a perfectly balanced combination of veggies and meat. The kite centre is very professional. The vibe is relaxed and the centre uses good quality kite surf gear, and very skilled instructors which speak different languages for your convenience. Not only do they know how to get you starting this amazing sport, they help you to progress and you will have a lot of fun in the mean time! The 3 weeks I spend in this place the owners, instructors and staff together with the other wonderful guests became like a family to me. From the chilled vibe, the fun game nights, the nerdy kite talk to the amazing food and very warmhearted people, I loved every minute I spent there and am already planning my next stay!! 🙂

Liked · I really, really liked the place a lot because it was compared to many other places in Asia a really souly place, with a good vibe, happy and down to earth people. So I liked the mosted the atmosphere at this place which was created by the relation to nature( wooden spaceious chalets ) , by the funny and really attentive and lovely sri lankan staff and by the owner Ruben itself. You can really feel that Ruben and his team worked with all their heart to create a relaxing , creative and inspiring place for kitesurfer and non-surfers. The food was , so, so, so good. It was fresh, prepared by sri lankan family recepies and I would only go for the Kottu one more time there. You will find all you need. Bicycles for free to go to the beach or the free shuttle during kite season and during the leassons. They offer a really proper service and there is always someone around to answer your question. REALLY LOVELY STAY. The wooden chalets are spacecious , provided with all you need. Look at the pictures I attached. really a dreamy place in the nature.

Liked · My experience at Margarita was amazing. I spent almost a week with the objective of learning Kite Surf. What I found was the most amazing group of travelers coming from all over the world, both couples and solo travelers. You share your entire day with this people… breakfast, lunch at the beach, dinner (the BBQ was excellent!). We had nice darts competitions at night and also Yoga to start the day, thanks Ingrid for being an amazing teacher! Kalpitiya is a Kite Surf place, so expect to be in a “Kite mood” all day long meaning wind will determine how your day goes. Rubén and Eusebi, the owners of Margarita, and the other instructors Mireia, Mario and Ken are an amazing team of friends. You’ll have fun, you’ll learn, you’ll want to go back once your holidays are over. The resort has the basic needs, don’t expect fancy facilities but you’ll quickly realize you actually don’t need that as it is part of the whole experience and will make your stay more enjoyable. The place is built keeping the local feel, you are actually part of the small town. If you go for a walk you’ll meet smiley people everywhere and all sorts of farm animals. If you decide to drive around (on a motorbike), they will help with the booking and advice on good restaurants in the area. Thanks MKS!!!

Liked · Margarita Village was great and perfect if you want to learn how to Kitesurf. The room are large and comfortable. There is an outdoor bathroom which we really enjoyed. keep in mind the shower is not hot but honestly you don’t want a hot shower there! A cold-warm shower was nice and refreshing. The staff is really friendly. The place is not so big, only a few cabanas, which means you get to to know all the staff and other guests quickly. They also have a family of ducks, some bunnies, a cat and a dog that roam the premises. The kite school itself is fantastic as well. Reuben and his team are great teachers, very patient, and happy to help out anytime. It is about a 15 minute ride from the village to the lagoon. The Kitesurf team will pick you up in a truck every morning and bring you back as well, and they also provide beach bikes free of charge of you prefer. The breakfast was a bit more expensive (but still very cheap for Western standards) as some of the other places we had been to in Sri Lanka, but the dinners were very priced normally and were very good. They varied between Sri Lankan and Western cuisine. We had a really wonderful experience. Thanks to the whole team!

Liked · Very welcoming stuff that creates a chilled vibe. Ruben is simply a great host. The place attracts a friendly crowd. You get to feel that even if you are not a kitesurfer. Fair pricing for the kite school and the gear rental. The bathroom in an open area was highly enjoyable.
