Gal Oya Lodge Hotel, Sri Lanka

Gal Oya Lodge is an ecolodge located on the peripheries of one of Sri Lanka’s most beautiful, least touristy national parks. Guests should expect a stripped back experience without sacrificing impeccable service, fresh food and a serene environment.

The hotel centres around a main lodge, which incorporates the reception and restaurant and opens out on the pool area.

9 spacious one bedroom bungalows adjoin the lodge via dirt paths (torches are provided) with one family-sized villa available if booked far enough in advance.

Each bungalow is a generous 800 sq. ft. consisting of a private living room and bedroom with a built-in king sized bed. An adjoining alfresco bathroom completes the experience. Please note none of the bungalows or restaurant has air conditioning.

Restaurant
The main lodge has a bar and spacious restaurant, providing both Eastern and Western cuisine. All meals are carefully prepared using locally sourced fresh produce. Guests can also enjoy produce from Gal Oya Lodge’s very own organic kitchen-garden.

Pool
Gal Oya Lodge overlooks a curved swimming pool that is set into the earth itself, providing the perfect place for a refreshingly cool dip in its clear waters or a leisurely recline on the surrounding cushioned sun loungers.
