A luxurious but relaxed retreat offering modest luxury and conscientious hospitality, evoking a sense of tranquility and serenity. 14 suites & cottages blend into the surrounding landscape, nestling into the terrain. Next to offering private and group yoga classes in a scenic shala overlooking Koggala Lake, Kurulu Bay hosts a Spa and retreats program that blends Eastern Wellness and Western Science, by the best therapists from around the world.

The spa combines Eastern and Western therapies, and yoga classes are taught in an elevated, open-walled space surrounded by the canopies of frangipani trees. And the Kitchen, similarly open to the breeze, serves three meals a day with views of the lake and a menu inspired by a “sea-to-table” philosophy.
