Kurulu Bay

From the moment you enter Kuluru Bay you realize you are in a special place. A lush green tastefully manicured oasis where the facilities have all been built with special care not to disturb any of the original trees. The tasteful rooms are thoughtfully placed within this tropical jungle paradise. The service and attention to detail is simply perfection. A walk to the dinning room takes you through giant trees where you might see monkeys with their small babies swinging through the lush canopy. The dinning room, with a full staff of cooks and waiters, offers Sri Lankan and International dishes. All prepared to perfection. The rooms are large and very tastefully designed with every amenity you could ask for! Another real 10 out of 10 experience!

Whenever we get a chance, we pack up and explore as much as possible with the family. This time, our destination was Kurulu Bay, and from the moment we arrived, it felt like we had stepped into paradise. The location and surroundings instantly transport you to a new world, creating a calming atmosphere. The architecture and attention to detail in the lush jungle setting, combined with breathtaking views of Koggala Lake, create a serene environment perfect for yoga or just relaxing by the tranquil lake. The 13 spacious suites are minimalist and beautifully blended into the landscape, with monkeys and birds adding to the natural charm. The two swimming pools were a great addition to the property, and our favorite was the one next to the restaurant. It was so convenient to have access to the kitchen whenever we wanted food or drinks. One of the highlights of our stay was the deck overlooking Koggala Lake. We spent the entire evening there, watching birds and the stunning sunset. The kids loved it. The food was exceptional, with every meal freshly prepared and full of amazing flavours. The staff were incredibly attentive and friendly, always going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. From the restaurant team to housekeeping, everyone was welcoming and helpful. A special thanks to the manager, Petar, for his outstanding hospitality.

Hotel is amazing! We got there at about 11 PM and even though restaurant and everything works till 10 PM we could have dinner and swim in the pool. Restaurant food was really really good. They have variety of options and everything is so good. While you enjoy your breakfast, lunch or dinner you can still enjoy nature cause everything is made around nature. All the trees that were there before are still there so that is why there are monkeys in the whole resort. Staff is very kind and is always here to help and organize whatever you want. They can always get you tuk tuk or car to take you to safari, local beach or any other destination. We had really good time and I would recommend coming here with your familiy, friends or even alone.

Die gesamte Anlage quasi mitten im Dschungel ist ein wahrer Traum. Wir buchten ein Cottage, von wo aus wir in den Bäumen herumspringende Affen (sie interessieren sich nicht für die Gäste) sowie viele bunte Vögel beobachten konnten. Der Sonnenuntergang bzw. die Aussicht von der Terrasse der Villa waren ebenfalls wunderschön. Da der Hauptpool am Restaurant während unseres Aufenthalts stets sehr gut besucht war, wichen wir auf den weiteren Pool aus und hatten diesen quasi für uns alleine. Erwähnt werden muss auf jeden Fall auch das tolle Kurulu Team nebst dem Manager Peter, der sich stets um das Wohlergehen seiner Gäste persönlich kümmert. Das hoteleigene Restaurant haben wir zu allen Mahlzeiten in Anspruch genommen. Die kreativen Gerichte sind wunderschön präsentiert, viele Zutaten frisch aus dem eigenen Garten / selbst gebacken und extrem lecker, so dass wir die Anlage zum Essengehen gar nicht verlassen haben.

Beautiful property and the hotel staff is great! A general issue we faced in SL is that the hotels either don't have a concierge or were not helpful at all in recommending activities, restaurants, agencies to book with. This was not the case here and was such a relief. Had a lovely and smooth experience booking everything. Their restaurant is great too. Just wish they had more activities and the location is hard to find on google maps.
