“Boutique eco-hideaway near Galle Fort, 11 rooms, mostly in separate villas enveloped in lush greenery. Sleek wood-and-stone restaurant terrace offers top-notch fusion fare, plus views across Koggala Lake. A romantic haven. World class yoga and excellent spa also make it the ideal detox escape.”

Hotel review

This eco-hotel overlooking Sri Lanka’s biggest lake, Koggala, about 45 minutes from Galle Fort, is a tranquil haven of privacy and luxury whose centrepiece is a mighty ancient banyan tree. The hotel’s 11 rooms, all but three in private villas and some with their own plunge pools, are modern free-flowing spaces with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer uninterrupted views of water and jungle. Natural materials, including granite showers, stone floors and local wood furniture are all tastefully deployed in minimalist fashion. Wide beds, cinnamon-scented Tri bath products and strong wi-fi up the comfort level, although in-room coffee-makers and TVs are absent. The common area is a sleek, shady terrace boasting a 21-metre infinity pool and lounging options aplenty, and the top of an elliptical water tower – quirkily covered in cinnamon sticks – provides delightful sunrise, full moon rise and sunset views. The inventive menu includes a six-course dinner containing Sri Lankan fusion delicacies like banana blossom curry and white tea panna cotta. On-site yoga classes, a spa, as well as boat and bike excursions are on offer, but this is ultimately a destination for those seeking luxury respite and quiet interrupted only by the sound of exotic bird calls. A haven immersed in nature but with high-end luxury, it’s perfect for a romantic break or digital detox.
