    Kerulu Bay Hotel is a true hidden gem. Nestled in the middle of lush greenery and right on a serene lake, it feels like a peaceful escape from the world. The entire place has a calm, zen-like atmosphere, especially the garden, which is stunning. The restaurant is amazing, with great food and coffee, and the overall vibe is so warm and welcoming. A huge thank you to Petar and Tijana, the hotel managers, who took such wonderful care of us. Their kindness and hospitality made our stay unforgettable. Can’t wait to come back!

    The setting of the hotel is amazing, bordering on a beautiful part of Koggala lake and with the jungle at its edges. The grounds teem with wildlife.. monkeys, mongeese pottering about amongst the plants and many different birds and butterflies. My treehouse room was peaceful, secluded and very clean. Both swimming pools were lovely and the food was exceptional. Above all though, the staff make this hotel special. The welcoming hotel managers, Tijana and Petar, were incredibly helpful and enthusiastic about all aspects of Sri Lankan life. Thanks to everyone at the hotel for such a relaxing stay.

    Unique serene location, striking aesthetic. Exceptional and consistent service. I spent in total 9 nights here and felt a deep connection with the beautiful unspoilt nature. Petar and Tijana who manage this hotel are truly remarkable with deep knowledge and love for Sri Lankan culture. Amazing yoga overlooking the lake with wonderful Maia. The beach, bars and surfing are a short walk away.

    Nothing to fault.

    Delicious breakfast with a fresh smoothie, fresh fruit and delicious Turkish eggs and barista style iced coffee. Very caring staff who checked in to make sure that we had everything we needed. They organised a trip to yala national park for us and tuk tuks into town and a yoga lesson. Beautiful peaceful setting and beautiful rooms very zen.

    Nothing. It can be a bit tough for taxi drivers to find but when you get there it’s paradise.

    Our stay at Kurulu Bay was an enchanted interlude. We came here after the recommendation of a couple of friends, and with all the good things they had said about it, it exceeded our expectations. We found an intimate and timeless place, connected to nature and respecting it. Kurulu Bay is perfect to recharge your batteries. It achieves the perfect balance between the extent of the surrounding nature, the animals that are there, combined with the comfort and charm of the enclosure inspired by the architectural style of the topical modernism.  We were lucky enough to watch the sun set over Lake Koggala from the new deck installed on the bay. We also appreciated the delicacy of the restaurant's cuisine, the tranquility by the pool or during a Yoga session. A big thank you to Petar and all the staff who perfectly orchestrate the magic of this place.

    Nothing.

    My friends and I recently had the pleasure of staying at Kuluru Bay for one night, and it was an exceptional experience that felt like we stayed much longer. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by Peter, who provided us with outstanding service and showed us a variety of rooms that suited our preferences perfectly. The breakfast at Kuluru Bay was nothing short of phenomenal. Each bite was a delight, and we found ourselves wishing we could extend our stay just to indulge in the delicious morning spread a little longer. The attention to detail and quality of the food truly set a high standard. For those seeking peace, tranquility, and a touch of luxury, Kuluru Bay is the ideal destination. The birthday surprise arranged for my friend was a thoughtful touch that made our stay even more memorable. The dinner experience was beyond exceptional - the food was simply to die for. Every dish was a culinary masterpiece that left us wanting more. If you're looking to immerse yourself in wellness and nature, look no further than Kuluru Bay. The serene surroundings and impeccable service create an atmosphere of relaxation and rejuvenation that is hard to find elsewhere. A huge thank you to the staff at Kuluru Bay for making our stay so unforgettable. Regards from Carlo, Catarina, and Emmanuel. We can't wait to return to this little slice of paradise by the bay.

    Kurulu Bay is not only an outstanding hotel but actually the best hotel we have ever stayed in, I am so grateful to have experienced Kurulu Bay and we would definitely go back on our next holiday to Sri Lanka. The food, facilities and staff are exceptional - Petar is a fantastic host and was so tentative and accommodating to all our requests - we stayed over New Year's Eve and Kurulu Bay was everything we could have hoped for, and more! A special thank you to all the team at Kurulu Bay for making our stay so wonderful!
