Gal Oya Lake Club

I stayed here in one of the bungalows, which was spacious , elegantly furnished and decorated. All three bungalows face the lake and are right next to one of the two pools. The whole site is amazingly beautiful and well taken care of. The owners, Thomas and Dinesh, made me feel heartily welcome and the staff was very attentive, polite and friendly. The place offers yoga mats and a newly opened outdoor gym to the guests. From there I watched a white pelican swimming across the lake during my workout. This remote spot is the perfect place to enjoy untouched nature and nourish your soul, absolutely recommendable. I will definitely come back on my next journey.

Fabulous place. This is a tranquil, beautiful place to unwind. Off the beaten track but a gem of a find. We couldn’t fault the complex. Small amount of accommodation in various forms. We stayed in a safari tent over looking a large lake full of wildlife. Lovely pool. Kayaking on the lake if you like. Food excellent and service outstanding. Staff went out of their way to help us when we had a small problem. Happily recommend without any hesitation.

The room was brand new, with a very spatious bathroom. Especially the scenery was great, with a lovely pool and view on the lake. We were served a nice dinner (large prawns) and chose for a Sri Lankan breakfast, which really surprised as! We also chose for a head and shoulders massage of 30 minutes. This was a fantastic experience. The guy doing this was very professional and did a great job. Above all, this was not expensive (10 dollars). We recommend.

We stayed in one of the tents which had a full bathroom and air conditioning. The views over the lake from the covered terrace at the front of the tent were stunning. The staff went out of their way to ensure you had everything you needed from refreshing cold towels and juice on arrival to explaining local dishes at dinner. The best thing about this place is that you can use the pool at anytime, a particularly nice way to see the sunrise over the lake with an early morning dip.

We enjoyed our two nights at lake club. The location- next to the safari entrance makes it the ideal place if you are looking to spend quality time looking for animals. The hospitality was warm very personalised and endearing- a big shout out to Samson who was attentive witty enganging and very efficient The canopy on the lake is a great place to relax or meditate All in all a super experience.we will certainly visit again.

We had delightful 2 nights stay and found the place both very beautiful and peaceful. The situation facing the lake was very serene and felt good for the soul. Very friendly and helpful staff, good food and many interesting places to visit near by.
