The chain of Cocoon Resorts, evolving from the low lands in Induruwa to the coastline in Kosgoda and the hill country in Nuwara Eliya promises guests more than just luxury but the ‘the reality of life’.

Cocoon Resorts Deputy Chairman Sandesh K. Sharma explained that Cocoon Resorts have eco tourism at the heart of their operations; with the Induruwa resort harvesting its own rain water.

 

  

 

Sharma stated, “I believe we must store what God gives us, and as my father believes, if we did it back then we can do it today.” The tank collects over 450,000 litres of rain water which gets distributed to over 150 sprinklers laid out throughout the property.

 

  

 

The food you eat at Cocoon is all organic as well, with the chefs picking vegetables and fruits from the garden at Cocoon and the rest coming in from the good crop picked from Cocoon’s 12 acre paddy field which also grows vegetables, fruits and even rice, so quality and freshness is assured.

Accommodation comprises three Grand Villas, the Family Villa – with a large bedroom, living room, patio and private pool featuring massage jets, five Extravagant Villas – boasting of a Jacuzzi in the private open terrace, and two luxury Villas.
