A desk in your room
Prefer your own space? Ask us and we'll set up a desk in your room.
Food & people
Fresh juice at your laptop, seafood after work
Food and drinks from our kitchen are available while you work, from breakfast and fresh juices to lunch between calls. Our team will help you settle in and make sure you have everything you need.
After hours
Log off and get outside
Kalpitiya's steady winds and calm lagoon make the end of the working day the best part.
Is there a dedicated coworking space at Atara Lagoon?
Not yet. Guests work from the small front office, the main dining area, or a desk we can set up in their room. All of these are covered by the resort's Wi-Fi.
How fast is the internet?
The resort advertises speeds of 25 to 75 Mbps across three separate Wi-Fi networks covering the whole property. A speed test published by the resort in October 2021 recorded about 73 Mbps download and 43 Mbps upload. Speeds vary, so for critical calls we suggest bringing a local mobile data SIM as a backup.
Can I get food and drinks while I work?
Yes. The restaurant serves food and drinks during the day, and the team can bring them to you while you work.
Do you offer coworking passes or long-stay rates?
