Ensconced by lush foliage on the banks of Lake Koggala, Tri Lanka is unique in every sense of the word. Designed to mimic the shape of a spiral shell, Tri places great import on wellness and reconnecting with nature. The resort was created with hefty eco-credentials including living walls, roof gardens of dwarf bamboo, and villas built with 100% recycled wood. Dotted across the impressive hillside property, you'll find a secluded yoga venue in a glade of trees and utterly private villas with idyllic lake views. Explore the lake by boat, visiting scenic islands and watching out for flashes of birdlife as you glide by.

Perhaps Tri's most unusual offering are the Watch Tower Rooms, which are smaller than the suites but have amazing views from the rooftop deck. The villas blend with nature thanks to walls lined with cinnamon wood and the interiors are a cocoon of stylish, muted decor punctuated by pops of yellow. The floors and doors were crafted from recycled jak wood and each villa comes with a king-size bed, bright bathrooms with a deep tub and tons of windows to let in the light. A number of villas also have plunge pools to make the most of your privacy - and we mean private!
Everything! Tri Lanka has a special touch, from its quiet and beautiful surrounds to the stunning facilities. Trust us, you won't want to leave.
There's some truly eye-catching birdlife so be sure to give yourself time to sit and spot as many as you can including the Great Hornbill with its coat of black and gold.
The resort keeps things eco-friendly, which means there are a few usual facilities that the rooms lack like a minibar, TV and tea/coffee facilities. There is air-con though!
