Photo Gallery

Mandalay is a gem of a property that sits on a peaceful area of the massive Koggala Lake about 15 mins from the historic town of Galle. The main house has 2 double rooms and a twin - all with ensuite bathrooms and air con. The master suite is upstairs and has floor to ceiling doors that open fully to reveal beautiful views across the garden and lake and there is a also a private terrace. There is a tub in the bathroom as well as shower. In a pavilion that overlooks the pool is housed the living area. An open sided area with dining table and comfortable seating. In addition there is a garden pagola full of cushions with spectacular views across the lake. Being on a lake you would expect the fish on your plate to be fresh and sure enough local fishermen will bring their catch to the private pontoon. Negotiate on the spot and the cook will prepare lunch or dinner with the fish caught only minutes before. Who would have thought a fishing holiday would be so easy. The house is actually in the quiet village of Kathaluwe that plays host to the famous Giniwella temple and the ancient Kathaluwa temple known for its Buddhist murals. Being close to fabulous beaches and a 5 star spa staying at Mandalay allows you the easy option of venturing out to the surf followed by a massage and then retreating to the peace and calm that this fabulous house offers.

We had a wonderful time and this is largely due to Richie's our driver commitment to showing us what a lovely country Sri Lanka is. He was committed to helping us explore and access temples, markets, etc and wonderful scenic views. and even finding us some of the best local restaurants we could hope for. His driving was exemplary and we were very pleased not to be driving ourselves. Richie is a great asset to your organisation...”

“ Highly recommend Escape in Sri Lanka - I booked this trip with Daniel as a family holiday for my mum's 60th birthday. From the very beginning Daniel was very responsive and has definitely gone over and beyond to make our trip special. He helped me with my husband's birthday present (hot air balloon ride) and helped me pick a great restaurant to celebrate. All the hotels he recommended were amazing. Literally couldn't fault it. Our tour guide Sam was amazing - he stayed with us during our stay in Sri Lanka. Highly recommend Escape in Sri Lanka. Such a beautiful country and we all loved it. Thanks Daniel.”
