This was by far the best stay we had in Sri Lanka! First of all, the location is beautiful. Away from all the crowds, this is a very unique and bit undiscovered part of Sri Lanka. But despite the quiet location, the area offers many things to do and the accessibility is very good. We traveled mainly by public transport and from Kandy there’re every hour direct buses (also with A/C) heading to Ampara. From Ampara it is easy to get a tuk tuk to the lodge. But also from the lodge they will help you with arranging transport where necessary (car/taxi/tuk tuk, etc.) and do everything they can to make sure you can travel save. And this is also what makes the Gal Oya Lake Club so special, they are super helpful. Nothing is too much for them and everything is negotiable. For example, when we were there, we’d like to climb the Monkey Mountain with a Vedda. Although this is not part of the “standard” excursions they offer, Dinesh did everything to make this possible for us. But also the area around the lodge is ideal for hiking and in the National park nearby you can make beautiful safaris! And even if you'd rather not go on excursions, there’re plenty things to do at the lodge. The massages they offer are definitely a must do. The massages you get there are absolutely not expensive and truly fantastic! In short, we stayed 3 nights in a glamping tent, but could easily have stayed longer. The staff does everything to make your stay fantastic and it’s a beautiful place to be!

A peaceful and memorable escape! Surrounded by mountains, forest, and a lake, you will enjoy waking up to birdsong and stunning views from bed. The private facilities, including a charming treehouse, make it perfect for a couple’s retreat. The on-site restaurant serves both local and western dishes - including delicious rice and curry. A nearby indigenous community helps run the place, adding a unique cultural touch. Expect to be welcomed with traditional greetings. You can also take a local safari, spotting elephants, monkeys, deer, and more. The experience blends comfort, nature, and authenticity in a way that exceeds all expectations!

My family (including teenage boys) and I had a wonderful stay here. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming and produced a delicious supper and breakfast for us. We were positively surprised by the beautiful setting - if I could post some photos on this site, I definitely would! The property is surrounded by beautiful palm trees, wonderful fruit trees around the back and amazing spices, as well as a luscious green paddy field, all of which the host kindly showed us. The property is opposite a very pretty river and not far from the Gal Oya lake safari start. Would definitely recommend!
