A room with a view

Kurulu Bay is redefining the conventional hotel stay through modest luxury and conscientious hospitality.

Kurulu Bay (Sinhalese for “bird island”) is a private sanctuary overlooking Sri Lanka’s largest, and one of its most scenic lakes, Koggala Lake, and surrounded by lush greenery, every element has been carefully considered to offer space, privacy and tranquility, with an emphasis on health and wellbeing.

We invite you to spread throughout the undulating landscape in one of the 14 suites and cottages, each with its own character and architectural style—designed to allow for a sense of intimacy with the surrounding nature.

While the pre-existing Kurulu House merges a 1960 Florida architecture style and tropical Bawa modernism (made famous by a Sri Lankan, Geoffry Bawa), the contemporary rooms and suites were design by award winning international architects A00.

Explore the gardens, perfect for quiet contemplation and connecting with nature. Or simply unwind by one of our two pools, allowing the gentle lapping of water to soothe your soul.

The Kitchen at Kurulu Bay embraces a culinary landscape shaped by its sea-to-table philosophy. Mindful attention is placed on an unsurpassed quality of ingredients. Sourcing fresh seafood and sustainable harvested produce from the surrounding area, prepared in our open kitchen using organic oils and ingredients, served as simple, elegant dishes with a distinctive touch of the chefs. The culinary experience is framed by spectacular views over Koggala Lake.
