Geoffrey Bawa-designed estate on 5 hectares of landscaped gardens in Bentota

Gardens & Architecture

Lunuganga By Teardrop Hotels Bentota sits on 5 hectares of gardens created over 40 years by architect Geoffrey Bawa. The estate combines Italian Renaissance and Japanese garden styles with rice paddies, butterfly-shaped ponds, and manicured lawns. Guests can explore the property through guided tours led by curators from the Geoffrey Bawa Trust.

Accommodation

The seven bedrooms are spread across the main house and garden cottages, each with air-conditioning and ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers. Rooms offer lake or garden views from private terraces, and include bathrobes, tea and coffee makers, and safety deposit boxes. Each bedroom is furnished with original Burgher antiques and objets collected by Geoffrey Bawa.

Dining & Experiences

The on-site restaurant serves local Sri Lankan dishes and contemporary Asian fusion cuisine, with a daily happy hour offering Bawa's favorite home-infused gin and tonic. Guests can request special diet menus, and kids' meals are available. Breakfast includes continental and à la carte options with fresh pastries and fruits, served on the terrace overlooking the lake.

Activities & Events

The Geoffrey Bawa Trust organizes daily workshops and art events at the estate, along with walking tours that explore the local culture. Guests can join cooking classes or visit the nearby Kosgoda Turtle Hatchery and Bawa Gardens. The infinity pool overlooks the lake, with pool towels, sun loungers, and sun umbrellas provided year-round.
