Overview

Positioned on the quiet shores of Koggala Lake, this award-winning boutique hotel occupies a serene lakefront setting surrounded by dense tropical vegetation and water views. The property has received One Michelin Key recognition, placing it among a select group of standout hospitality destinations.

The hotel has been conceived with a strong emphasis on architecture, landscape integration, and guest privacy, creating an environment that feels both refined and deeply connected to its natural surroundings.

Accommodation is arranged across 14 thoughtfully designed suites, cottages and villas, each positioned to maximise privacy and views across the gardens or lake. Interiors favour a restrained, contemporary aesthetic, with open layouts and private terraces allowing a seamless connection between indoor spaces and the surrounding landscape.

Suites & Cottages
Accommodation is arranged across a collection of suites, cottages and villas set throughout the landscaped grounds. Each category has been positioned to maximise privacy, natural light and views across the gardens or Koggala Lake, while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding landscape.
The Treehouses
Four elevated treehouses are quietly positioned on a hillside at the rear of the property. Raised above the surrounding greenery, they enjoy sweeping views across Koggala Lake and the pool below, while offering a heightened sense of privacy.
Large windows invite generous natural light into the interiors, while the elevated position allows the surrounding foliage and water views to become an integral part of the guest experience.
The Garden Suites
Located towards the front of the property, close to the main pool and restaurant, the four Garden Suites open directly onto richly planted tropical gardens with glimpses of the lake beyond.
Wide patio doors allow cooling lake breezes to flow through the rooms, creating a relaxed indoor–outdoor atmosphere that extends through to the ensuite bathroom areas.
The Lakeview Cottages
Three standalone cottages are distributed throughout the gardens, each with a slightly distinct architectural character. One adopts a more contemporary design approach, while two draw inspiration from vernacular Sri Lankan architecture, featuring half-flat tiled roofs.
All cottages enjoy direct views across Koggala Lake, with secluded positions within the landscape.
Two-Bedroom Lake Villa
Positioned on a small hillside, the two-bedroom villa offers elevated views over Koggala Lake framed by surrounding tropical vegetation.
The villa features a spacious living area with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the lake, a small kitchenette positioned between the bedrooms, and a private plunge pool with sun loungers, creating a self-contained residence within the grounds.
The Private House
A separate private villa within the estate provides the experience of a standalone residence with access to the facilities of the hotel.
Designed by renowned Sri Lankan architect Channa Daswatte, a protégé of Geoffrey Bawa, the house blends 1960s Florida modernist influences with tropical Bawa-inspired design. High ceilings and open living spaces create a dramatic central gathering area, conceived to host wellness and creative retreats.
The house also features a Yoga Shala overlooking Koggala Lake, set among mature frangipani trees, further reinforcing the property’s focus on wellness and nature.
