Set on a jungle estate along Koggala Lake, this retreat is a return to presence, where stillness, movement, and nature meet. Rooted in the Pali principle of sati, or mindfulness as sacred remembrance, the experience weaves yoga, sound, and conscious movement into a week of quiet restoration. Held in the wild serenity of Kurulu Bay, it’s a chance to tune inwards and reconnect with the essence of simply being.

The Destination
Tucked along the shores of Koggala Lake in southern Sri Lanka, Kurulu Bay is a boutique jungle sanctuary surrounded by lush forest and expansive water views. Located just inland from the island’s south coast, the area is known for its still lagoons, traditional stilt fishermen, and quiet rhythms of village life. Built in harmony with the land, Kurulu Bay offers a rare balance of wild beauty and refined simplicity.

Accommodation
A boutique hotel nestled between jungle and lake, Kurulu Bay brings Scandinavian-inspired design into quiet conversation with the natural world. Designed by award-winning studio A00, the property flows between clean architectural lines, open-air spaces, and a palette of polished concrete, warm wood, and hand-finished textures. Rooms range from garden suites with separate living areas to private villas with their own pools, each with air conditioning, en-suite bathrooms, and views across the jungle or lake. Elevated above the water, the treehouses offer a more secluded stay, with panoramic views of Koggala Lake and a sense of quiet immersion in nature.
