A sublime five-star return to nature
TRI Lake Koggala
BUILT AROUND AN ANCIENT BANYAN TREE on a promontory in Lake Koggala , TRI treats its guests to a truly unique experience of the natural world of Sri Lanka . Arriving guests are taken over to the hotel by boat , which immediately creates a lasting impression of exclusivity and peaceful seclusion . TRI is the island ’ s first hotel to seamlessly combine contemporary , cutting-edge design ( inspired by the Fibonacci sequence ), with total sustainability . Living walls , recycled wood , green roofs , solar-heated water , and locally-sourced materials not only help the ten rooms blend in with their lush lakeside position , but also maintain the local natural harmony . Guests can experience full immersion into Sri Lankan culture with yoga classes , the Ayurveda spa , and a range of other holistic treatments . Rooms at TRI are split-level , with the bed higher up to give a greater sense of space and enhance the spectacular views . Glass walls are combined with opaque dividers to create a balance between essential privacy and stunning tropical panoramas . A further three rooms are housed inside the unique central Water Tower , which has cinnamon wood walls and is surrounded by a spiral-shaped pool . In addition to the main 21m infinity swimming pool , the infinity pools on the terraces of the larger rooms become surreally sublime due to their lagoon-side , treetop position . The high-altitude yoga Shala is suspended above a bamboo grove . TRI ’ s immersive experience continues in the lake kayaking facilities , temple visit excursions , and private beach club on Kabalana Beach . Those staying for longer may want to embark on a whale-watching trip . Though only opened in December 2015 , TRI has quickly become an essential port-of-call when touring Sri Lanka .
