Over a hundred years ago, the hill in the midst of the former cinnamon plantation was given a name by the local inhabitants. They christened it, ‘Sumanagiri’- the silent mountain. Today, this land of Sumanagiri, stretched over 8 ˝ acres has metamorphs into Cocoon Resort & Villas. This flagship property is tucked away in Induruwa, 65 km from Colombo and is immaculately landscaped greenery.

The resort positioned on Kaikawala Road, about 1.5 km from Galle Road, accentuates visions of extravagance, quality of service and abundant ‘space’, creating an unforgettable escape to an oasis of tranquility, privacy, warmth, lavish care and luxurious comfort.

Designed by its Chairman and Architect U. K. Sharma – a pioneer in the hotel industry and the previous owner of the Ceylon Continental Hotel, the resort comprises of three Grand Villas, five Extravagant Villas, two Luxury Villas with large gardens and sixteen Silk Rooms.

Grand Villas – the family villa with a large bedroom, living room, patio and a private pool featuring massage jets. Five Extravagant Villas, boasting of a Jacuzzi in the private open terrace. The Silk Rooms are also complete with a Jacuzzi, large sitting area and very spacious terrace and a balcony.

‘We are pleased to offer our facilities to foreign and local guests at a very reasonable rate. They can book online through our website, http://www.cocoonresorts.com’.

‘The Bath’ known as the House of Spa is found in the depths of the garden, which offers exhilarating treatment to rejuvenate your body and mind with a whirlpool, steam rooms and sauna, a gymnasium.

‘The Stage’ opens up as an indoor relax pool which is built like an ancient Roman bath with steps leading to it. After a work-out at the Gym or a body massage, guests are invited to sit and relax. Later in the evening, the area changes into a cultural centre, where local dancers and drummers showcase their talents. A water curtain sprays down creating an unique hydro backdrop for dancing and singing.
