Our verdict
Gal Oya is the most off-grid luxury wildlife lodge in Sri Lanka — nine bungalows on the boundary of Gal Oya National Park, where boat safaris go after swimming elephants. Owner-operated, simple stone-and-thatch architecture, a kitchen that pulls from the lodge garden. For travellers who want wilderness over polish.
