Bolagala Agro Floating Resort – A Favorite for Families in Negombo

Bolagala Agro Floating Resort sits on a man-made lake, with each cabana built on floating pontoons. Every cabana includes an individual greenhouse that supplies fresh produce to the kitchen. Guests can pick cantaloupes and other fruits directly from these greenhouses during their stay.

The resort's two restaurants serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, dinner, and high tea with ingredients sourced from the property's own gardens. Menus include continental, à la carte, Italian, and local Sri Lankan specialities with fresh pastries and local fruits. Guests can request tables in different locations, including the restaurant, an island, or the upper terrace.

On-site water sports include kayaking and fishing, with guided kayak tours that point out local bird species. Land activities cover cycling, walking tours, cooking classes, and evening entertainment with live music. The hotel also offers a bullock cart ride to Gami Gama, a traditional village setup with pottery making.

A spa on the property offers a variety of wellness therapies, though facilities are still opening. The outdoor swimming pool is open year-round and has a pool bar, shallow end, sun loungers, and sun umbrellas. The pool area overlooks the lake and provides towels for all guests.

The hotel provides butler service for each room, with staff trained to assist families with toddlers during meals and activities. Children can feed fish from the balcony of their floating cabana and engage in supervised kayaking. Family rooms are available, and the property includes a kids' meal menu and special diet options on request.
