Bolagala Agro Floating Resort, Katana, Negombo, Sri Lanka

• Eco-friendly oasis: What was once a desolate clay mining site has now been transformed into South Asia’s first agro-floating resort. Set around a thriving, 13-acre man-made lake teeming with freshwater fish and local wildlife, Bolagala Agro Floating Resort offers a seamless blend of chic cabana-style spaces and beautiful natural surroundings.
  
  
• Culinary bliss: Start your day at the all-day dining restaurant, The Float, for views across the lake and delicious dishes made with ingredients from the onsite spice garden. On dry land, expect a tasty à la carte menu that blends Sri Lankan and international flavours at the The Essence, or head to The Glow for a refreshing pint in an inviting pub-style setting.
  
  
• Immersive lake living: When you’re not dipping in and out of the central pool, get involved with a wealth of cultural experiences. Perhaps you’ll delve into indigenous Sri Lankan healing with herbal treatments at the Weda Gedara Ayurveda Center, create traditional crafts like pottery at Kumbal Gedara, or learn the art of tea plucking from within the resort’s own gardens. Naturally, there’s also ample opportunity for kayaking, fishing, boat rides and more.
