Land at Colombo Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), clear arrivals, and walk out to meet your Lakpura chauffeur-guide holding a branded placard with your name. From there, the journey to Kikili Beach, Talpe covers approximately 156 kilometres along Sri Lanka's Southern Expressway and coastal roads, with a typical drive time of around 3 hours 8 minutes.

The route heads south from the airport through Colombo and onto the Southern Expressway, cutting cleanly through the low country before the road opens up towards the southern coast. Your driver delivers you directly to the entrance of Kikili Beach — not to the town centre, but to the property's own door.

This is a private, door-to-door service. Your vehicle is reserved exclusively for your group from pick-up to drop-off. Choose the vehicle that suits your party size and luggage from the options below.
