At The LAKE LOFT, what makes our place truly unique is its extraordinary location right on the peaceful shores of Lake Koggala, just 5 minutes by tuk-tuk from the beach. You will wake up to breathtaking lake views, the sound of nature, and the gentle rhythm of village life, your closest neighbors are the local fishermen gliding by every morning on their traditional Sri Lankan canoes.
The loft itself is designed to be both stylish and comfortable, with tasteful décor blending modern elements and antique touches. It is an open, airy space with up to five beds. Heavy curtains allow you to create three cozy sleeping areas when needed, making it versatile for couples on a romantic getaway, families with children, a group of friends, or even a small yoga retreat. For larger yoga groups, we can also provide additional accommodations on same property or nearby.
Our lush tropical garden is another highlight, full of life and color. Every day you may see playful monkeys, bright kingfishers, majestic peacocks, soaring eagles, or even a woodpecker on the branches. It feels like being immersed in your own private slice of Sri Lankan nature.
Another special feature of the LAKE LOFT is its stunning rooftop terrace. Occasionally, the creator of the space offers Kundalini yoga classes there, always after 10 a.m. to respect your comfort and tranquility. Guests can enjoy this unique experience while taking in the panoramic view of the lake and the surrounding greenery.
We want guests to feel instantly at home and welcomed with warmth. Whether it’s sharing local tips, arranging a tuk-tuk, or simply providing a tranquil environment where you can relax, we take care to make your stay memorable.
The LAKE LOFT is more than just a place to sleep, it is an experience that combines comfort, beauty, and the spirit of Sri Lanka.
My name is Aurélie, I am French and deeply passionate about yoga, Ayurveda, and travel. I first discovered Sri Lanka in 2019, and it quickly became my country of the heart. Living here allows me to combine my love for nature, culture, and well-being in a very authentic way.
I teach Kundalini yoga and would be delighted to share this transformative practice that has truly changed my life. While classes are only occasional, they take place on the beautiful rooftop terrace of The LAKE LOFT, always after 10 a.m. to respect your comfort and privacy.
As a host, my goal is to make you feel at home while helping you experience the beauty and spirit of Sri Lanka. Whether you are here to relax, explore, or reconnect with yourself, I am happy to guide and support you during your stay.
