“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.”

See What They Say
What is there to do in the area? Historic towns (Galle Fort), temples, beaches, lowland tea estates, whale watching, surfing, diving, golf, wildlife safaris – some of these are seasonal
What kind of breakfast do you offer? A mix of western and Sri Lankan, with daily changing options
Do you offer other meals? And can you recommend good places to eat out locally? We have an all-day dining a la carte menu for lunch. We can make recommendations for eating out but our half board inclusion means that the majority of guests prefer to have their evening meal with us. It is also the most innovative cuisine in the area!
Which are your most popular room types, and why? Our Lake Suites have the highest occupancy. The open plan format with soaring ceilings enhance the sense of space. They have outstanding lake views and represent great value for money. Our villas with private pools are also very popular with honeymooners
What facilities do you have for children and can you fit extra beds in your rooms? We have no specific facilities for children as we are much more of an adult orientated resort. All suites and villas have a day bed that can be made up as a full size single bed for and adult or child over 12yrs.

Looking good at Tri Sri Lanka
Overlooking Koggala, Sri Lanka’s largest natural lake, and a 25-minute drive from the sleepy Dutch colonial town of Galle, the just-opened hotel was founded by British photographer Rob Drummond and his yoga-instructor wife Lara Baumann. Their disparate interests fuse here nicely, with tasteful aesthetics and a focus on guests’ wellbeing two core considerations evident throughout the hotel.
