Kurulu Bay

LikedA truly special stay. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe, welcomed, and genuinely cared for from start to finish. The 24/7 support and exceptional hospitality made all the difference. I also loved how comprehensive the experience was, with pilates, yoga, massages, and such a peaceful atmosphere, it is so much more than just a hotel. Thank you, Kurulu Bay, for such a memorable stay.❤️

LikedThe service and staff were so friendly, nothing was too much - when my husband left his suit bag hanging in the wardrobe, they posted it all the way back to the UK! The setting is so peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing luxury get away. Thanks for such a lovely stay, we will be highly recommending you to our friends and family!

LikedThe place was so peaceful and comfortable. The staff were very kind. And also the food was very delicious. I would definitely want to come back here. It was the best place we stayed in Sri Lanka

DislikedNothing :)

LikedVery cool new modern design boutique hotel. Peaceful location off the beaten track by the lake. Delicious food, easy welcoming service.

LikedKurulu Bay’s location is just stunning, peaceful, thoughtfully designed, and really infused with the jungle around it. You can feel the sincerity of the people who run it, and that’s what makes it feel so authentic, so connected to Sri Lankan culture. The staff were amazing, always warm and attentive. The villas are beautiful, simple and blending right into the jungle. Truly a magical place.

LikedIt’s absolutely gorgeous. A tranquil escape and quite close to ahangama! It was absolutely beautiful and the food is outstanding. We were on our honeymoon and we got kindly upgraded to the most incredible room. We cannot wait to return to Kurulu! The grounds are absolutely stunning and we wish we stayed longer.

DislikedThere are some ants in the bathroom but it’s a tropical country so this is hard to avoid

LikedWhat a wonderful way to start our holiday in Sri Lanka! The Kurulu Bay staff arranged a transfer from the airport, which worked out seamlessly. The driver, Indunil, pointed out points of interest along the way (rice plantations, birds, even stopped alongside a cinnamon tree and collected the leaves for us to smell), and shared lots of interesting cultural facts. Arriving at the place, we were warmly welcomed by Beatriz and Petar, and quickly became mesmerized by the beauty of its surroundings. What a magical place, where man-made structures coexist with nature in an almost symbiotic way. The room was perfect! Impecably clean, with the most amazing view. The food at the restaurant is also incredible, and so is the staff (we had dinner and breakfast). I lack the adjectives to describe the wonderful time I spent at Kurulu Bay. The only thing I regret is not having spent more time.

LikedAn amazing location on the lake designed with care around the natural landscape preserving trees and sitting alongside the historical house. The whole place is deigned and built with a brilliant eye for quality and the service received matched the high quality of the aesthetic, all staff and managers were exceptional and very accommodating. An exceptional breakfast and delicious food! The sister hotel The Fort Printers in Galle is also well worth a visit if even just for drink or dinner.
