The Villa Bentota by KK Collection

This a beautiful small but spacious hotel in colonial style which was developed by acclaimed Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa in the 1980s and renovated recently with great taste. Its simply and comfortably furnished public spaces flow into each other and link with the outdoors through courtyards, flowers and plants in huge pots. The main dining room is open to the garden on two sides with blinds that can quickly be pulled down if it rains. The garden is a good size with lush lawns, frangipane trees, a cool loggia and two pools. At the end of the garden is the main railway line from Galle to Colombo. Trains are not that frequent and add to the charm of one's stay. The beach is just the other side of the railway line, great for walking and sunsets. The staff were all delightful - nothing seemed to be too much trouble. Our room and en suite were lovely and had everything we needed, The food, both Sri Lankan and western dishes, was very good and not expensive (by London standards) so we didn't try any other local restaurants as we were only there 4 nights. We would definitely go back,

The property is beautiful and had been designed by a most renowned Sri Lankan architect. Beautiful interiors and artwork. Fabulous restaurant for lunch and evening and a good choice for breakfast. You can walk
Along the beach to several beach bars. The railway track runs along the bottom of the garden between the hotel and the beach which is actually great fun watching all the passengers. All the staff are super helpful and I can definitely recommend this boutique hotel to anyone.

Great customer service. Beautiful location, right on the beach. We had a suite which was spacious. They organised a late check out room for us. We used the spa and had wonderful massages. Delicious food, available all day. Great recommendations for local restaurants. Tuk Tuk drivers outside the property every night.

The train line is very close, it didn’t detract from the property, it was amusing waving to passengers.

So off the beaten track and calm and quiet. The staff was so nice, discreet and helpful.

The architecture, garden, pools, location. The staff were very friendly and the food was good.

Lovely staff
Great pool
Very quiet

This hotel was beautiful, the staff were so friendly and our room was gorgeous.

Schöne, friedliche Lage (wenn man sich nicht durch die gelegentliche Eisenbahn gestört fühlt), sehr sauberer Strand, stilvolle Architektur, aufmerksames, freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Essen - was will man mehr!

Красивая вилла Бавы. Атмосферное место.

Beautifully styled property, very clean, immaculately kept gardens and pool. Great place for a relax, comfortable bed and room. Lots of lovely places to sit, short stroll over the railway line to the beautiful beach. Tuk tuk ride away from restaurants and shops. The hotel food was very good, breakfast was different each day, the buffet was very good but when they did table service on some days it was incredibly slow (my only criticism!) I would recommend this hotel.

Beautiful hotel in amazing grounds. Fabulous pool and dining experience. The staff were so attentive nothing was too much trouble.

The Villa Bentota is a quiet haven by the side of the Indian Ocean. The villa was designed by the famous Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa. The pool was a real feature for us. 23 metres long and excellent for morning fitness swims. The food was excellent and the staff were extremely attentive.
