The house and gardens at Lunuganga, Bentota, were lovingly created over several decades by the world renowned architect, Geoffrey Bawa, as his vision of a tropical garden idyll. The Italian inspired garden with spectacular views over lakes and tropical jungle together with a simply designed plantation house are one of the lasting legacies of Asia's most famous architect.

Guests can now share in Bawa’s vision and can stay in one of 6 en-suite bedrooms available in the house, the studio or on Cinnamon Hill, or rent the whole property in its entirety. It is perhaps the most magical garden retreat in the world.

Within the tropical garden paradise sits Bawa’s simply designed 4-bedroom plantation house - a collection of courtyards, verandas and loggias create a haven of peace and inspiration. All 4 suites are individual and beautifully decorated to provide a relaxing and memorable environment for guests. In addition to the plantation house, there is a wonderful 2 bedroom studio, set at the edge of a cinnamon plantation which was originally planted in the eighteenth century, and high on the hill overlooking the lake to the south thus giving guests the ultimate in privacy. For those wanting an exclusive holiday, Lunuganga can also be rented in its entirety providing complete solitude for guests
