"Kurulu Bay is an intimate eco-resort with just 14 suites, perfectly perched on the shores of Koggala Lake, an ecologically rich lagoon on Sri Lanka’s south coast, just a stone’s throw from Ahangama Beach. For a truly serene escape, book the Banyan, a charming two-bedroom cottage nestled on a hillside, surrounded by lush greenery and offering sweeping views over the lake. Inside, the deep wooden tones create a cosy sanctuary, and the bathroom features a luxurious tub that invites you to soak while immersing yourself in the tranquil surroundings." - Faye Bradley
