A chic and stylish beachside boutique villa, Bentota is set amidst extensive gardens scattered with coconut palms with the Indian Ocean a five-minute stroll away. This newly refurbished, colonial-period villa provides a relaxing and peaceful escape.
Highlights
A railway line runs between the gardens and the beach: some guests wave at every passing train, but others are less enamoured by the intrusion - we think it's fun but be aware in advance
The gardens provide lots of space, with just 15 rooms there is always room for privacy
Within good reach of Galle and Colombo
A glorious combination of older architecture and modern interior design
When to visit
Until they have a liquor license, buy some of you favourite tipple to enjoy during your stay in advance.
