Discover the reality of life at Cocoon

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.
