Take breakfast on the pontoon. Enjoy lunch at the dining table beside the pool. What about sunset cocktails under the lake side attap. Then have dinner anywhere you choose. Mandalay's courteous and talented staff will look after your every whim.

The main bedroom suite covers the entire upper floor of the sleeping pavilion with a spectacular, private balcony with views over the lake. The other spacious bedrooms both have modern ensuites, and  one of the enclosed living areas can be transformed in to a fourth bedroom, if so needed.

Mandalay is only 5-10 minutes from some of Sri Lanka's finest restaurants and bars.

But if you prefer to stay in, and many do, you can cast a line from the jetty and catch your own dinner. Of course if they're not biting that day, don't worry. The local fisherman will bring their catch of the day to your gate every morning. You'll find everything you're looking for at Mandalay. You may even find your self.
