Situated 150 km North of Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo, the Kalpitiya region is one of the most beautiful coastal areas located in the West coast of Sri Lanka. Kalpitiya is a peninsular that separates the Puttalam lagoon from the Indian Ocean and is a marine sanctuary with a diversity of habitats ranging from bar reefs, flat coastal plains, saltpans, mangroves swamps, salt marshes and vast sand dune beaches. Given the investment opportunities available Sri Lanka Tourism launched the Kalpitiya Dutch Bay Tourism Development Zone Project.

The Kalpitiya area is a treasure trove of marine, land and bird life including four types of dolphins, five types of whales, and the very rare and shy dugongs (only found in this part of Sri Lanka).

The Kalpitiya waters are home to thousands of dancing dolphins who gambol alongside the boats that dot the horizon. Dolphin-watching in Kalpitiya is a unique and exhilarating experience which portrays nature at its most spectacular. The Bar Reef, the largest coral reef (307 square km) in Sri Lanka that can be reached in a short boat trip from Kalpitiya, is the ideal sea for keen scuba divers and snorkelers. The beautiful reef, exceedingly rich in bio-diversity, is home to an incredible variety of tropical fish as well as offering sighting of manta rays, reef sharks and the occasional turtle as well as huge numbers of tropical reef fish.

The Wilpattu National Park is a short drive away and is Sri Lanka’s largest and best known wild life sanctuary and nature reserve. Home to Leopard, Elephant, Bear and many other species of wild animals and birds rarely sighted in any part of the world today three of Sri Lanka's Big Five, it has the greatest concentration of the beautiful leopard, and shelters the majestic elephant and shy sloth bear.

The nearby Anavilundava Bird Sanctuary, Nawadankulama Lake and salt marshes of the Puttalam lagoon are home to many of the island's rich avian fauna, and also a large number of migratory bird species.
