Mandalay Lake Villa is an amazing place to stay in Koggala. The rooms, food, and service are all excellent. The staff are very attentive, and the meals cooked by Chef Chinthaka were a real highlight.The rooms are spacious, and the whole property feels peaceful and relaxing. You can sit on the pier and watch the boats go by or take a boat tour on Koggala Lake.It’s the perfect spot for anyone looking for a quiet escape from the noise of the city.

If you're in search of indulgence, peace, and privacy in a breathtaking setting, then Mandalay Lake Villa in Ahangama is the place to be. Our time at this unique property was truly magical, and we savored the excellent cuisine under the lead of chef Chinthaka and the team's love, care, and warmth. Thank you very much. We eagerly look forward to our next visit. In the meantime, we wish you every success and good health.

We had an amazing nearly week long stay at Mandalay Lake Villa. The manager/chef Chinthaka, and his team took very good care of us. The food was superb, the service was beyond exceptional, and the rooms were very comfortable. Great place to visit with family and friends
Location
Situated on Lake Koggala’s shoreline with a view of the well-known island of Madol Duwa. Located 700 meters from Matara Road, 20 minutes from Galle Fort and 20 minutes from Welligama’s surfing beaches. Despite being secluded, your lakeside retreat is close to everything.
