The island and the Bolgoda lake
Haven of tranquility and natural beauty
Bolgoda Lake, the largest natural lake in Sri Lanka, stretches across two districts and is a haven of tranquility and natural beauty. Its vast waters are dotted with charming mini islands, each offering a sense of seclusion and untouched wilderness. These little pockets of land are surrounded by lush greenery and rich birdlife, making the lake not only a scenic escape but also a paradise for nature lovers, adventurers, and those seeking peaceful retreats.
The island called Ruskin island
Opened in 1960
Ruskin Island, nestled in the vast Bolgoda Lake of Panadura, holds both historical and cultural significance in Sri Lanka. Once part of the waterways used during Dutch and British times for transporting goods and serving as a retreat for colonial officials, the island later became the property of Merennage Maurice Ruskin Fernando, the businessman and politician after whom it is named. In 1960, Ruskin Island was opened to the public, gradually transforming into a leisure destination while retaining its natural beauty.
Today, it stands as a unique blend of heritage and modern comfort, with boutique villas, clubhouses, and resorts such as Villa 14 welcoming guests to enjoy boating, fishing, and the island’s rich biodiversity, ensuring that Ruskin Island continues to be both a historical landmark and a contemporary haven of relaxation
