Tekanda Lodge

Cinnamon still grows on the grounds of this six-room eco-lodge outside Galle, and on a still morning you'll catch it in the air before breakfast arrives. Set on ten private acres with Koggala Lake to one side and a distant Indian Ocean glimmer to the other, Tekanda Lodge runs an infinity pool, open-air communal dinners served on banana leaves, and cocktails built from estate-grown tea. The Michelin Guide has it among its selected hotels.
