Gal Oya Lodge is more than just eco friendly boutique hotel. It’s a philosophy that percolates through the veins of this very special rustic retreat. Contained within 20 acres of private forest, this luxury hotel has triumphed with its delicate combination of creature comforts including a beautiful swimming pool and a ludicrously well stocked bar, combined with its overriding principles of sustainability.
Inspiration for the pavilions and 10 bungalow suites is drawn from the local villages. Natural materials, including wood and swordgrass, have been used throughout and construction techniques perfected over generations have been used to ensure authenticity and harmony within its wilderness environment.
Forget your mobile phone or laptop. There is no mobile phone signal nor wifi. Embrace a rare detachment from madness of the modern world.
The biggest lake in Sri Lanka and the only place on the island to see swimming elephants.
