Unique Floating Cabanas
Bolagala Agro Floating Resort offers 37 floating cabanas, each with a private greenhouse, balcony overlooking the lake, and 4-star amenities.

Farm-to-Table Dining
Guests dine at Bath Gedara, serving traditional Sri Lankan cuisine made with fresh ingredients from the resort's organic farm. The Essence restaurant offers international dishes with lake views, while Glow Lounge Bar serves cocktails and hosts live music. Private candlelit dinners under the stars are available.
Nature-Based Activities
Activities include kayaking, fishing, boat rides, and Sri Lanka's first floating theme park with a 60 ft waterfall. Guests can cycle through the property, pluck tea leaves, explore traditional crafts at Athkam Gedara, or take guided nature walks spotting medicinal plants.
Eco-Conscious Retreat
Located 14 km from Negombo and 20 km from Bandaranaike International Airport, the resort spans a man-made lake with freshwater fish. It uses solar energy, recycles waste, and conserves water. The tennis court converts to a helipad for direct arrivals.
Cultural Experiences
Daily village life demonstrations include blacksmithing at Kammal Gedara, pottery at Kumbal Gedara, and textile weaving at Dobi Gedara. Families can play traditional board games or sample kithul flower brew at Raa Kadaya. The spa offers Ayurvedic treatments using local herbs.
“Bolagala Agro Floating Resort delivers an immersive eco-tourism experience near Negombo, especially suited for eco-conscious travelers or couples seeking romantic getaways. The unique floating cabanas, each equipped with its own greenhouse, offer both panoramic views and fresh produce. Its commitment to sustainability through solar energy and local sourcing enhances the charm of this tranquil lakeside retreat.”
