Slow living & kitesurfing Adventure in Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka
Ruuk Village is a quiet, community-driven eco sanctuary in Kalpitiya, Sri Lanka for high performers, families and solo travelers who value space, simplicity, and personal attention over polished resort life.
Not for everyone, and proudly so. If you’re looking for nightlife, pool bars, or a polished resort, you’ll be happier elsewhere. If you’re ready for authentic Sri Lanka and real breathing space, welcome home.

Community-first for 14+ years
Ruuk Village was never designed to be a commercially driven resort. We’ve stayed true to a community-driven vision for over a decade, training locals from zero, paying year-round wages, and choosing sustainable growth over quick profit.
Anyone can scale fast. Very few choose to stay small — and stay true.
