ABOUT DE SILVA
BUILT BY A CHAMPION.
SHAPED BY EXPERIENCE.
Upul De Silva discovered windsurfing at a young age and went on to become a four time Sri Lankan national champion.
What started as a small idea by the lagoon 15 years ago has grown into something much more. Through years of travel, learning, and experience, he shaped De Silva into a place that feels natural, calm, and real.
Today, it’s not just about staying here.
It’s about feeling the lifestyle behind it.
THE DE SILVA YEAR
THE SEASONS OF KALPITIYA
Kalpitiya moves with the wind — shaping the rhythm of life on and off the water.
Two distinct wind seasons bring world-class riding conditions, while the quieter months open space for wellness, exploration, and deeper connection.
From steady beginner-friendly lagoons to powerful high-wind days, every season offers a different energy — and a different way to experience this place.
Whether you come for progression, adventure, or slow island living, there is always a perfect time to be here.
