HELLO AGAIN and Welcome back for kitesurfing in Sri Lanka!

Sri Lanka has opened its boarders and says hello again to tourists from all over the world :). And we say hello again to kitesurfing and windsurfing friends and tourists from all over the world! Therefore guests have to stay the first days in a kitesurfing hotel Level 1 Sri Lanka like at De Silva Windresort in Kalpitiya!

De Silva Windresort:

Kitesurfing hotel Level 1 in Sri Lanka

Level 1 Safe & Secure Hotels: Kitesurfing hotel Level 1 Sri Lanka

All non vaccinated tourists must stay at a certified ‘Safe & Secure’ Level 1 hotel for up to 13 nights/14 days of their stay. If you want to come for kitesurfing or windsurfing we are glad to offer you those secure outdoor sports in Kalpitiya during your quarantine:). – Always follow the safe Bio Bubble System and do not talk to any local (non hotel) during your quarantine!

If you are Covid vaccinated and a tourist you only have to stay for 2 nights in a kitesurfing hotel Level 1 for quarantine until you may show a negativ PCR test. After this time you are able to move into any other hotel or travel through Sri Lanka.

At present, this regulation has been adjusted again to 14 days quarantine, even for vaccinated persons, due to the high number of new infections. However, this is only a temporary status and should be lifted again in the next few weeks!

Find here all current details of quarantine measures! https://www.srilanka.travel/helloagain/

No restrictive quarantine required.

All facilities of the hotel are available to the guests (eg: SPA, kite school, windsurf school). Despite all this, we ask you to observe the prescribed hygiene regulations at all times 😉

Hygienic Fee:

Since the status for level 1 is associated with many expenses and adjustments, we have introduced the hygiene fee instead of increasing our prices! We ask for a 12/day/room hygienic fee as all the stuff around this topic is very cost incentive. For example do we have to accommodate all the staff members for quarantine also to keep the Bio Bubble System!

WHAT TO DO DURING QUARANTINE BY FOLLOWING THE BIO BUBBLE SYSTEM?

All non vaccinated tourists are not permitted to leave the hotel for the initial 13 nights/14 days of their stay…!

—> EXCEPT a negative on-arrival PCR test could be shown you can visit the approved tourist sites under a bio-security bubble. Those tourist sites are approved by the COVID Taskforce Team.

You can do some water sports – do kitesurfing or windsurfing, bring your own gear or rent with us, take some instructions under an hygienic controlled system!

Also you can use all hotel facilities to relax during your quarantine! For example – take an Ayurvedic Massage, make Yoga units on the upper deck chill out terrace, play games, chill in your hammock in front of your room, read a book, have a Cocktail or fresh fruit juice….

Please keep distance to others who are not your travel partners!
