    Are you a marketing expert looking for a peaceful, beautiful and natural setting to help promote an eco-resort with your skills? Our eco friendly and sustainable resort might be the perfect fit for you. Our resort is nestled in the beautiful Kappalady Village, Kalpitiya (3hrs drive from Negombo) We have 4 cabanas, 2 family beach bungalows and 1 family villa, a yoga shala, massage hut, garden. We are tucked away in a quiet but very safe village. Our resort is scenic, highly rated and providing the best organic sri lankan food. And in your free time you can kayak, paddle board, kitesurf or just discover beautiful Sri Lanka! Its paradise!

    We are already rated as one of the top picks in Kalpitiya area. Our resort is tastefully designed in local style but maintaining all quality and cleanliness standards for our guests. Its a 5 min walk from one of the best kitesurfing lagoons in the world and the indian ocean. We have an organic garden where we grow our food and a large garden area with several spaces for activities. We have also partnered with an NGO to conduct beach clean up, art competitions for village kids and other activities to support the local community and our cute village. We are successful in our social media, branding and customer reviews.

    However due to the economic crisis, Sri Lanka is facing a drop in tourism. We are looking for a marketing expert and social person, who can not only bring in new expertise in our marketing techniques (without extra funding) , but also can find new ways to attract tourists - for example find tourists through Facebook groups, host events, build partnerships with local travel agencies etc.
