This is one of few islands on Bolgoda Lake, all of which have been shrouded in mystery. It was home to one of Geoffrey Bawa's associates, ground-breaking Danish Architect Ulrik Plesner in the 1960s. Plesner's desk in one of the upstair's bedrooms overlooked the lake giving him creative inspiration and solitude.
For over 50 years it has been a family-owned island. The family have recently renovated the house and opened it up for others to share this unique experience.
The Island on Bolgoda offers a house with 3 bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms, large airy open verandas and lounging and dining areas; facilities for cooking, electricity and running water for bathing; a beautiful shady lawn with infinity swimming pool.
