Kotiyagala Luxury Villas, Palatupana, Sri Lanka
Set on a seven-acre estate in Sri Lanka’s coastal Yala region, the 12 suites and villas comprising the eco-conscious Kotiyagala resort will be integrated into the lush jungle landscape when it opens in March. Each unit, reached by elevated walkways, will float among the canopy of trees and feature floor-to-ceiling windows and a private deck and swimming pool that magnify glimpses of animals roaming in their natural habitats.
