Kurulu Bay

“An exceptional stay at Kurulubay! From the warm welcome to the impeccable service, every detail was perfect. The rooms were stylish, comfortable, and well-maintained, offering stunning views. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Delicious dining options and fantastic amenities made the stay even more special. Can’t wait to visit again!”

We stayed at Kurulu Bay in the Hora cottage, which was aesthetically pleasing and beautifully designed, blending seamlessly with the jungle environment. However, we did encounter some issues with mice over two nights of our stay. While this was initially disappointing, the manager’s response was exemplary. They moved us to the Heli cottage, where we had no further issues, and went above and beyond to make amends by refunding a night’s rate, offering complimentary meals for the remainder of our stay, and expressing heartfelt apologies. Their genuine effort to remedy the situation made a huge difference and left a positive impression.||The jungle setting at Kurulu Bay is a perfect retreat—peaceful, serene, and incredibly relaxing. During our stay, a retreat was being held, and I was initially worried it might impact our experience. However, I couldn’t have been more wrong. If I hadn’t been informed, I wouldn’t have even noticed it was happening. The ambience remained tranquil throughout, and it felt like we had the entire place to ourselves.||One highlight that simply cannot be missed is the kitchen at Kurulu Bay. The food was absolutely amazing—each meal was a culinary masterpiece. Even when dishes featured the same protein, the flavours were distinct and perfectly balanced. Every bite was an experience in itself. If you’re ever in the area, I would strongly recommend visiting the restaurant, even if you’re not staying at Kurulu Bay.||Despite the initial hiccup, the overall experience was phenomenal. The combination of stunning surroundings, attentive staff, and incredible food makes Kurulu Bay a destination I would wholeheartedly recommend. The care and hospitality we received turned what could have been a negative experience into a truly memorable one. Don’t hesitate to visit—you won’t regret it!

Kurulu bay is incredible - my partner & I stayed here for 3 nights, everything was perfect. From the care that went into the cooking to the super kind & attentive Kurulu team. Swimming in the jungle, doing yoga looking out against the lagoon & having a bath listening to the rain were highlights. Highly recommend & if you can’t stay, it’s definitely worth visiting for a meal.

We spent 3 nights in one of the isolated rooms and were blown away by Kurulu Bay. Incredibly beautiful place, tastefully landscaped surroundings, great views over the lake, monkeys playing around in palm trees, perfect cuisine and breakfast, good yoga sessions, great service, everything amazing. Hotel managers Peter (and colleague whose name I can't spell) are also super welcoming and friendly, always chatting with all the guests, it felt like staying at a friend's house. It's hard to name anything that Kurulu Bay could improve on. Oh maybe you should know that swimming in the lake is strongly discouraged due to wildlife 🐊 which I was a bit disappointed to hear, but even that is not a real problem because the hotel has two beautiful pools long enough to swim laps and largely empty, and there are magnificent sparsely populated beaches close by. Kurulu Bay was of the best boutique hotels we ever stayed at and an experience we will fondly remember.

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!

We were here for a Spa day as all rooms were fully booked and we loved it!!! The area is a green oasis, the people are super friendly and relaxed and the treatment which was included in the package was amazing <3 We had lunch and the food was so so delicious. We can highly recommend! 10/10

Kurulu Bay is heaven on earth. The surroundings, facilities, villas, yoga, food and staff is amazing and if you visit Sri Lanka, it’s a must to stay at this place, especially if you’re tired of all the crowded tourist places along the coast. It’s the second time for me at Kurulu Bay - which I think says it all. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing hotel experience - it is something special with this place!

What a treat to spend a week at Kurulu Bay, the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. The resort has been tastefully blended with nature changing the design of the buildings rather than cutting down any trees which really makes you feel like you are staying in the jungle. I could have watched the monkeys all day they were a delight. |The staff were brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and all the little details were taken care of without you realising. Food was delicious. Petar was born for hospitality and really goes out of his way to make your experience at Kurulu Bay spectacular. I had a very minor issue with a room whilst I was there which was handled very well and way beyond my expectations. |Thank you to everyone at Kurulu Bay for a truly wonderful week.
