Item Description

About the Resort: Jetwing Kurulubedda is a secluded Galle resort comprising of minimalist yet modern stilted dwellings surrounded by lush tropical vegetation beside a calm river, providing a cozy and relaxing holiday environment. A serene ten minute boat ride down the Kepu Ela in Mahamodera, Galle, a short waterway off the Gingganga, is the Jetwing Kurulubedda.

Enjoy the Comfort: Jetwing Kurulubedda boasts a bedroom suite, a large terrace with casual and relaxed seating and a spacious plunge pool below. Relax in the dining pavilion overlooking the paddy field and marshes, and the lounge surrounded by nature with a ramp leading to the edge of the river and a sprawling lawn...

Relax like the Locals Do: Take a bath in a true village style, taste a drink of Kirala (Genus - Sonneratia Species - caseolaris) from the trees above, red rice from the paddy field around, vegetables and greens from the plots within. The smiling Sri Lankan butler will serve you, offering the luxury of experiencing nature in style. Unwind with a refreshing massage followed by an evening cup of single estate hand rolled bio-tea with home styled patties and cutlets, and a dip in the pool. Dream away as you enjoy a glass of wine and dinner under the star studded night.

Exceptional Nature Experiences: Anoma, the resident naturalist will introduce you to the area around; the birds, the plants, the dragonflies, the vegetables and the paddy. Jetwing Kurulubedda also offeres the best chance to see and photograph Blue and Sperm Whales.
