Tri is the first truly contemporary sustainable luxury design boutique hotel in Sri Lanka. Not far from Galle Fort, on the shores of Koggala Lake (Sri Lanka’s largest natural lake) and within easy reach of the best beaches in the south, 11 suites spiral a six-acre hill of outstanding natural beauty. Ecotourism has never been so inspiring. Guided by nature, evolved with aesthetic passion, and fortified by an all-encompassing sustainable philosophy, Tri is a masterpiece of forward-thinking flair, where mathematical marries artistic and intelligence embraces emotion. Tri’s Golden Ratio theme developed organically; a contour survey of the site informed the spiral pattern and the positioning of the buildings and Tri’s unique design ethos.

Breakfasts start with fresh exotic fruit, curd and treacle, and a Tri twist of cooling curd ice cream if you fancy it. Sri Lankan and Western options include authentic hoppers with kata sambal or eggs benedict with smoked mahi mahi or local kurakkan (red millet) porridge, breakfast dishes include both – all exploit the abundance of fresh local produce. The ancient practice of Ayurveda is supported through nutritious smoothies, filled with local fruits and vegetables, some designed to give you a natural power booster and others offer a protein hit for guests off on surfing or cycling adventures. A magnificent spread of rice and curry makes a memorable banquet of local spices and flavours.
