Wake Up on the Beach in Talpe

EKA Beach — four boutique bed and breakfast rooms on the sand, ten minutes from the expressway and under fifteen from Galle Fort.

Also rated 4.7 / 5 across 142 reviews on Tripadvisor — #5 of 20 B&Bs in Talpe.

EKA Beach sits directly on a stretch of golden sand in Talpe, on Sri Lanka's south coast — close enough to the water that the tide is the last thing you hear before you fall asleep. Four boutique bed and breakfast rooms, each with its own private bathroom, share direct beach access and look out toward the sea and the harbour beyond.

Andrea has hosted here for more than thirteen years, and it shows. EKA holds Superhost status on Airbnb, with a 4.77 out of 5 rating across more than 100 reviews — guests come back to the same handful of things again and again: the beach, the breakfast, and Andrea's hospitality. Check-in is self-service through building staff, so arriving late or without much notice is never a problem.

EKA Beach is booked exclusively through Airbnb. Each room has its own listing, so you can book a single room or take all three together — whichever suits.

The rooms

Four Rooms, Steps from the Sand

EKA Beach has four bedrooms, each with its own private, en-suite bathroom — three with a queen bed, and one larger room with a queen and a double that sleeps three. There's no lobby to pass through and no corridor of identical doors — just four rooms, a shared stretch of beach, and the hospitality team close by if you need anything.

Location & experiences

Talpe, and Everything Around It

A quieter stretch of Sri Lanka's south coast, a little apart from the crowds of Unawatuna and Mirissa — and an easy base for everything around it.

  • Galle Fort under 15 min
  • Southern Expressway about 10 min
  • The beach steps from your door

Under 15 minutes

Galle Fort

The sixteenth-century, UNESCO-listed old town, still ringed by its original ramparts and full of cafés and shopfronts to wander for an afternoon. Close enough to spend a full day there and be back on the sand by evening.

Walking distance

Cafés & temples in Talpe

Talpe has its own quiet rhythm: local cafés and small restaurants within easy reach for lunch and dinner, and Buddhist temples tucked along the coast road.

Water sports

This coastline is known for its water sports — surfing, snorkelling and diving are all within reach, and the swimming straight off EKA's beach is good on a calm morning.

Your host

Andrea, and Thirteen Years on This Beach

Andrea has been hosting guests at EKA Beach for more than thirteen years — long enough to know which café in Talpe does the best short eats, when the tide is right for a swim before breakfast, and what a guest actually needs on their second morning versus their first.

EKA Beach is deliberately small — four rooms, not forty — because that's what lets Andrea and her team actually get to know who's staying.

Before You Book

How do I book a stay at EKA Beach?

Directly through Airbnb — it's the only way to book, and the fastest way to see real-time availability and pricing. See the rooms & book →

Is breakfast included?

Yes — breakfast is included in the rate. It's made to order each morning rather than laid out as a buffet, and it's one of the first things guests mention when they leave a review.

What time is check-in, and is anyone there to greet me?

EKA Beach uses self check-in, arranged with building staff, so you're not tied to a front-desk schedule. If your flight lands late or plans change, arriving is still simple.

Four rooms. One beach. Book the dates you want.

Every room is booked through Airbnb — it's the only way to reserve a stay. Pick the room that suits you and go straight to its listing.
