Spa Hotels in Bentota

This is one of our favourite hotels in Sri Lanka. The layout of the gardens, between the sea and the lagoon, is magnificent. Geoffrey Bawa chose this spot very carefully and the new wings have been integrated well. Even if there are many guests, you can still retain a certain privacy because the grounds are so extensive. We particularly enjoyed a curated tour by Sanduni de Fonseka who has specialised in the work of the Bawa brothers and the art works on display - by, amongst others, Laki Senanayake and Barbara Sansoni. High-quality food. We have been to this hotel several times, and our overall experience, as always, was excellent.

Alex and Nelson are one of the nicest hosts I ever met! I only stayed a night and half and they arranged everything for me to feel like home. I wish I would have stayed longer as I almost felt part of their family :) they were so kind and provided many advises to me. Don’t trust the bad reviews because it’s not relevant of their guest house which is a slice of heaven! Only 30meters to the beach, lovely staff and loved their fur family! Vielen danke!!

I want to thank the whole family! Very nice people and they helped us solving every problem! See you again! :-)

Lovely host, she welcomed us warmly, great breakfast, nice central place, 5 minutes from the beach. She can arrange tours and the room was perfect.

Located in a very clean quiet area with no traffic, five minute walk to the beach, next to restaurants and bars.

Happy Man Village is the best place to enjoy the real Sri Lankan experience. In this family run structure is possible to enjoy amazing meals made of fresh products from their lands, simple cooked and delicious. The staff is going to propose several activities to do in the area, in this way there is no need to settle anything since everything will be managed from them simplyfing our life. We really enjoyed the catamaran safari and the boat trip in the river close to the village. But the best thing is the attention from the staff to the guests, always smiling and being available to any possible requests. A special mention needs to be done to the young Baba he was always available and ready to help, bringing us small treats like smoothies and cocount, at any time of the day and showing us nice landscapes spots, along with the cinnamon and wild plants and animals in the surroundings of the village. Located in the middle of Kosgoda village, here we found the most authentic feelings.

Lovely staff. Pool & surroundings beautiful. Nice friendly size, rather than en masse

Really great service - lovely man at the pool would have our sun loungers ready for us, breakfasts great (huge portions!), nice touches like an evening turn down service.

We recently spent five days at this beautiful hotel, and from the moment we arrived, we felt completely at home. Every single person working here deserves the highest praise: From the reception and restaurant teams to the spa staff, gardeners, and service crew. Everyone was incredibly friendly, genuine, and always ready to help with a smile. A very special thank you goes to our butler, Badde, who made our stay unforgettable. His attention to detail and thoughtful surprises turned our holiday into something even more special. Beyond his professionalism, he is simply a wonderful person, full of positive energy. The property itself is breathtaking. Located on a large rock overlooking the coast, it feels as if you are floating between forest, beach, and sea. The sound of the waves is always present, and the views in every direction are magical. Despite being around 30 years old, the hotel feels modern and very well maintained. Improvements are constantly being made. The architecture and interior design are unique and tasteful, far more characterful than in many new hotels. Some reviews mention that certain areas might feel a little “aged,” but in our opinion, that criticism is entirely misplaced. Naturally, not every pool or wall can be rebuilt every few years and there is absolutely no reason to. Everything is clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The food is another highlight. Even after five days, we kept discovering new dishes to try, each one beautifully presented and full of flavor. The variety and quality are truly impressive. All in all, this hotel combines hospitality, design and experience in a way that’s very rare to find. We left deeply relaxed and already looking forward to returning one day.

Very stylish lux hotel by famous Sri Lankan architect, stunning property with high quality service, nice rooms with beautiful view, 2 pools, right next to the railroad with trains occasionally passing by which makes a great experience, beach 2 minutes away, surf spot 10‘ away down the beach (with surfboard rental), beautiful sunset
