Tri by Amaya

Tri is one of the most wonderful hotels which I have stayed at, and I cannot recommend it highly enough! The hotel design is stunning, the grounds are beautifully maintained, and the bedrooms are spacious, fitted to a high standard, and benefit from gorgeous views.I only wish that I could have stayed longer!

Good customer service, food was good. Room was clean. Overall good experience. Worth for money paid. Plan to visit again

Having stayed at multiple resorts & hotels across Sri Lanka over a period of one and a half weeks, Tri by Amaya takes the win for the best stay overall for my wife and I. Situated at the edge of the Koggalla lake, the property is spread across 6.5 acres, and all the villas and the common area with it’s infinity pool and bar have an extensive frontage of the lake. 10/10 on the location and overall layout. We were immediately greeted by the General Manager Dinesh and his team upon arrival. From there on for the next 3 days, the entire team seemed to be only focussed on finding out what’d make our stay comfortable and special and then delivering on it. Without grand expectations I informed Dinesh that my wife and I were celebrating our Anniversary on Day 2 of our stay at Tri. I was immediately rounded up by the manager Mr. Harsha, the Chef, Mr. Camil and GM Dinesh to plan out the day with couple’s activities and surprises for the wifey. Day 2, started with a relaxing 90 mins couple’s massage at the Spa after a sumptuous breakfast, followed by a light lunch and drinks at the Villa. At 4 PM we hopped on for a 1.5 hour long Boat ride in the lake accompanied by supervisor, Mr. Pobuddu, who had arranged for a chilled bottle of Chilean Merlot that we sipped on while sailing across the vast lake and passing by 4-5 tiny islands inside the lake, which again was a surprise for the wifey. We stopped over at the Cinnamon island where a few families grow and sell Cinnamon. Overall, Mr. Pobuddu’s knowledge on the local ecosystem, and it’s history made for interesting conversations on the boat. We were lucky to spot a seaplane take off up close while sailing back to the resort. Later in the evening, after taking a dip in the plunge pool at the Villa (which to our surprise was re-cleaned while we were away on the Boat ride), we headed back to the common area for dinner. Harsha and team had setup a private dinner for us at the edge of the Jetty overlooking the lake, which again was a surprise for the wifey, and was immediately greeted by a smile of excitement and appreciation on her face. As if the ambience wasn’t any less overwhelming, the all vegetarian dinner prepared by Chef Camil torpedoed our plans to drink away the night. The veggie pizza, the napoli spaghetti and the veggie burger all of which weren’t on the menu, and the highlight - the eggless chocolate cake (another surprise for the wife), absolutely blew our minds, and also left the wifey impressed and stuffed, who later, also tried to convince the Chef to put those items on menu permanently. We spent the rest of our time at the lake facing villa with a plunge pool, with full height windows, and a running balcony facing the lake with seating, which was absolutely perfect to say the least. An attempt to extend our stay by a day and skip 1 night in Colombo failed unfortunately as the Villa was already booked by other guests. All in all, felt pretty lucky and happy that Tri happened at the very
