"Though it’s just 20 minutes drive from buzzy, boho Galle, the just-opened Tri feels like some sort of secret, remote sanctuary built in the middle of nowhere. It helps, of course, that it’s tucked away in a jungle on the shores of Koggala Lake, consisting of just 11 villas that literally disappear into the lush landscape thanks to leafy living walls. Private plunge pools and sunset-facing terraces only heighten the bliss of seclusion—though there are countless reasons to venture out. For one, there’s a luxurious spa, with a steam cavern and treetop yoga studio; then there’s the delicious, superfood-packed Sri Lankan fare served at the lakefront restaurant. But the best part about Tri? It’s eco-friendly to boot, with green roofs, solar panels, and even a rainwater system that’ll help lessen the environmental footprint of your stay."
"An upmarket, eco-conscious lakeside retreat tucked at the end of a dirt road on Lake Koggala—about a 40-minute drive from Galle and 20 minutes from Ahangama—this intimate property channels quiet luxury through thoughtful design and sustainability. Designed by architect Raefer Wallis and photographer Rob Drummond with a blueprint inspired by the Fibonacci sequence, its signature cinnamon-clad water tower houses guest suites and offers 360-degree views of the surrounding landscape. With just 11 ultra-luxurious suites (three with private pools), highlights include a world-class infinity pool overlooking the lake, a family villa with floor-to-ceiling windows that frame glowing orange-hued sunrises, a spa featuring a steam cavern and treetop yoga, kayaking, a well-stocked library, and a fitness center. The on-site restaurant serves a mix of international and Sri Lankan dishes focused on fresh, locally sourced ingredients (and an especially praised fresh mango juice), while multiple terraces provide relaxed spots for cocktails and taking in the views. Sustainability is woven into the fabric of the property through the use of local timber and recycled materials, and practical details to note are rates starting around $600/night, a minibar that stocks water, and limited late-night room service hours; the nearest major airport is roughly a 2.5-hour drive away."
"Perched on a hillside overlooking Koggala Lake, this tranquil, design-forward property blends seamlessly into surrounding rice paddies and jungle and places sustainability at its core, using recycled wood and woven banana leaves in furnishings. Its standout architectural feature is a 21m cantilevered infinity pool that projects into the lake, and its location provides easy access to popular southern beaches (under 15 minutes) and the historic town of Galle (less than half an hour’s drive)." - SilverKris
"A luxury lakeside hotel that champions farm-to-table and lake-to-plate dining, offering seasonal, organic menus and Sri Lankan fusion touches; signature tastes include a Maldivian fish hopper amuse-bouche and an inventive smoked wattalapam (coconut custard) panna cotta. The property focuses on fresh, locally sourced ingredients and elevated regional flavours in its culinary experiences." - Smriti Daniel
