Nestled behind a steep road in Bentota is Lunuganga, which Geoffrey Bawa dubbed ‘garden within a larger garden’. It is a haven for both domestic and international tourists providing a break from the varied natural environment of Sri Lanka. Bawa was given the former rubber and cinnamon plantation in 1948 in order to construct something that would be shaped by his present and future dreams and imagination.
Overlooking the golden coastline of Sri Lanka, the Bentota Beach Hotel maintains a perfect blend of luxury and tranquillity. Indeed, it is the ultimate getaway that offers comfortable accommodations, superior facilities, and breathtaking views of the world. Guests can make each visit memorable with its spa treatments, by relaxing along the beach or enjoying water sports.
Visit the Jetwing Lighthouse, which has an entrance that resembles a rampart. The most famous architect in Sri Lanka, Geoffrey Bawa is the painter of the centre's mind-blowing spiral staircase and the building's unique use of rustic colour schemes. His art combines Dutch and Moorish elements in a unique way.
