Gal Oya Lodge, Sri Lanka

Nine one-bedroom bungalows hide within the jungle surrounds, each positioned with love and care to frame the best views, whilst having minimal impact on the surrounding landscape, flora and fauna. As you will find throughout Gal Oya, the rooms have been designed to ensure nature is right there with you at all times… delivered by floor to ceiling glass windows, sweeping verandah’s, inside/outside bathrooms and simple, yet extremely comfortable and spacious living spaces. The most recent addition to the property is a two-bedroom villa, located in on the highest part of the Gal Oya grounds, boasting jaw dropping views and peaceful privacy. A perfect option for families or groups traveling together. It is important to note that although children are more than welcome at Gal Oya, there are no specific children’s facilities and therefore we suggest that it is best suited to children who are old enough to take part in all the normal activities on offer. This is a place for families to share time and create memories together.

As you might expect, the environmental footprint of Gal Oya is almost non-existent and the menu follows suit with every meal being locally sourced and lovingly prepared. All ingredients are fresher than fresh, grown in the lodge’s own vegetable gardens or bought in from neighbouring villages. Although western dishes are available and mouth- watering to say the least, don’t shy away the vibrant curries, sambol’s and roti’s to get those taste buds tingling. Once you’re hooked, book a cookery lesson with one of the chefs so you can take the taste of Sri Lanka home with you.
