It’s designed is based on an ancient Dutch fort by the famous architect Geoffrey Bawa. Bentota Beach has a broad golden beach and a wonderful freeform pool and spacious gardens. It has a wide range of facilities including a sports centre, water sports centre and for the laid-back there is an Ayurvedic spa with expertise in pampering.
Our Opinion
This is a wonderful 4-star hotel. You enter what feels like an old fort and enter the lobby with its ceilings done in colourful fabric. It’s a great hotel to wander around and soak up the relaxed atmosphere. It has a huge range of facilities. It would be great for weddings as the gardens seem vast. The western coast railway runs near the hotel entrance but like most other hotels along the coast you’d barely even notice any trains. It offers B&B, HB and All Inclusive. If you plan to be out everyday and maybe take an overnight trip east then maybe B&B. But if you are staying in the hotel for the most part, perhaps consider All Inclusive which is around £25pp per day.
Location
Bentota Beach is located between Bentota River and the sea, close to Bentota village. It is about 3 hours from the airport.
