Lunuganga Gardens

Discover the visionary legacy of Geoffrey Bawa at the enchanting Lunuganga Estate. Nestled by the Dedduwa Lake near Bentota, these gardens were once the personal residence and lifelong design experiment of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated architect.

Stroll through meticulously curated landscapes blending Italian Renaissance formality, English pastoral charm, and tropical exuberance. With every pathway, sculpture, and water feature, Bawa’s genius unfolds in serene harmony with nature. Guided tours provide a fascinating insight into his life and the unique fusion of art, architecture, and horticulture he championed.

Bentota Beach Hotel

Experience coastal bliss at the iconic Bentota Beach Hotel, a landmark of tropical elegance and relaxation. Originally designed by Geoffrey Bawa himself, the hotel seamlessly merges modern luxury with traditional Sri Lankan aesthetics.

Overlooking the golden sands and azure waters of Bentota, it offers not only stunning ocean views but also access to water sports, beachside dining, and lush garden spaces. It’s a perfect stop for unwinding, enjoying a cocktail by the sea, or soaking in the island’s warm coastal vibe.

Jetwing Lighthouse

Standing boldly on the rocky shores of Galle, Jetwing Lighthouse is another of Bawa’s architectural masterpieces—a harmonious blend of colonial grandeur and modern sophistication. The hotel’s dramatic spiral staircase, inspired by a Portuguese-Dutch naval battle, and the wide-open spaces filled with natural light showcase Bawa’s vision to perfection.

More than just a luxury retreat, it’s a living gallery of Sri Lankan history and design. Enjoy panoramic views of the Indian Ocean, indulge in exquisite dining, or simply explore the artistic interiors that tell the story of Sri Lanka’s maritime legacy.
