Food · Farm · Lake

A kitchen that is decidedly Sri Lankan, from farm to fork, net to table, and wherever the day happens to take you.

Our kitchen

The landscape, served.

At Peacock Hill, food is part of the place rather than something separate from it.

Walk down to the private lake to choose freshwater lobster from the morning catch. Learn traditional Sri Lankan cooking. Sit down for lunch outdoors or make dinner an occasion under the night sky.

The emphasis is on the extraordinary variety, nuanced spicing and unforgettable flavours of Sri Lankan cuisine.

Destination dining

Dinner where the day ends.

Dine under a constellation of lights atop Peacock Hill or on the waters of Wewela Lake. Open-air meals are one of the great pleasures of life here: breeze, birdsong, darkness, water and time to linger.

Spaces can work for a family dining together or an intimate dinner for two. Speak to the team after arrival about what feels right for your stay.
