Introduction
EKA Beach is a collection of cosy, affordable pavilions that sit on a palm-fringed golden beach on the fringes of Thalpe, looking outward to the palm-fringed Galle Coast. The beach has stunning views of the Rhumassala headland and is flanked by an endless series of arced beaches. EKA features a white arced beach, magical sunsets, and great surf and sea life. You could relax with drinks and food at the outdoor terraced café, or take to the beach. Staff are friendly without being obtrusive and well trained. You may be lucky enough to see a local turtle family bobbing in the waves whilst tucking into your breakfast on the terrace or during your morning beach walk.
