Saman Villas is one of most luxurious small hotels in Bentota, Sri Lanka. Set upon a rocky outcrop between two gold-sand beaches, it has 27 suites on the ground and first floor, each providing breathtaking sea views. The hotel facilities include, dining and living areas and infinity-edge pool, all designed to maximize its stunning location and the amazing sunsets.

Lunuganga Estate in Sri Lanka is located along the Bentota River, south of the capital Colombo. Lunuganga was the country house of the legendary Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. After Bawa’s death, the private home went public as a charming six suite retreat offering some of the island’s finest vistas and elegant accommodations.

Located on the western coast between Colombo and Galle is Aluthgama, near Bentota. Between the sea and Aluthgama, lies Paradise Island, a narrow spit of land beautifully sandwiched between the choppy waters of the Indian Ocean and the calm waters of the Bentota lagoon. The lagoon formed by the tranquil Bentota Ganga that provides the setting for Sri Lanka’s biggest range of watersports, along with interesting boat trips up the river.

Rock Villa in Bentota by Taru Villas is boutique hotel, set on a beautiful, un-crowded stretch of coastline in the southwest of Sri Lanka. Originally a 170-year-old Walauwa (Heritage House) it is spread over 2.5 acres of private tropical garden, fronting the Indian Ocean. With original terracotta tiled roofs, wraparound airy verandas studded with rattan sofas and cooled by slow whirring ceiling fans, this picture-perfect setting jumps straight out of a 19th-century movie scene.

The Villa Bentota is a stylish beachside villa, set outside the town of Bentota, on Sri Lanka’s southwestern coast. Originally a `Mohotti Walauwa’, a beautiful manor house, it was renovated by iconic Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa into a gorgeous boutique hotel. Now owned by design guru Shanth Fernando, it has been transformed into a chic, seaside retreat but without diluting its original charm. It is ideally located close to a sandy strip known as Paradise Island.
