Prepare to enter a different world at The Villa Bentota. Located on the beautiful idyllic beach of Bentota, this pampered paradise is one of the island's most spectacular boutique hotels. Here your frenetic pace, petty anxieties and obsession with time lose their relevance and you are at peace.

Renovated in the early 1970's by renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa, The Villa Bentota has undergone a spectacular refurbishment under the guidance of Shanth Fernando. Often alluded to as Sri Lanka's Terence Conran he has maintained the Bawa style of the property whilst bringing his own stamp of beach chic to it.

As luxurious and sophisticated as you could wish, the intimate property has fifteen rooms and suites all of which offer the highest standards of contemporary luxury and are indulgently furnished with balconies or patios that keep you in touch with the beautiful views.

This architectural gem has the atmosphere of a private home offering every luxury imaginable from the azure tinged swimming pool, to uuber chic rooms and a gourmet restaurant. To stay here is to truly understand what Sri Lankan hospitality and style is all about.
