The lush, sprawling grounds of Koggala House offer ample space for group gatherings or private relaxation.

10/10Koggala House was everything I was hoping for and more! We had just been travelling as a group around Sri Lanka and were hoping to get down to Koggala House and relax...! We had an absolute ball, it is very peace and quiet and had gin and tonics at 5pm on the deck each day. The rooms are immaculately done, the owners have gone all out on this. The Chef had done his trade in Brazil and France and was amazing. Each night we had 3 courses overlooking the lake. The managers also organised for us to go on the Whale watching tour of the blue whales down at Mirissa and got us VIP seats on the boat. We also ventured into Galle to see the fort and other beach areas. Overall its a perfect stay for a group of people who are keen to relax and get first class service. I will be definitely coming back to Koggala house!
