Lunuganga

Inspirational, whimsical, and enchanting, Lunuganga country estate invites guests to step into the mind of its renowned creator, architect Geoffrey Bawa. Nestled near Bentota’s west coast, this soulful retreat boasts 10 uniquely styled rooms, a refreshing swimming pool, and guided garden tours. The estate seamlessly blends into Bentota’s scenic landscape, surrounded by paddy fields, cinnamon estates, and coconut plantations along the tranquil Dedduwa Lake. Despite its secluded feel, Lunuganga is only 10 minutes away from Bentota’s sandy beaches, restaurants, and water sports.

Accomodation

Geoffrey Bawa’s former home, Lunuganga, offers a truly unique stay with nine individually furnished rooms and suites scattered across the expansive garden. Each room is purposefully designed to capture views of the lush garden, the serene lake, treetops, or distant Buddhist stupas. The Main House Studio, Gallery Studio, and Glass House cater to different preferences, making it an ideal retreat for honeymooners, families, or nature enthusiasts.

Dining at Lunuganga is a culinary delight, featuring standout Sri Lankan dishes like hoppers, kiribath, and coconut sambol, as well as international and contemporary Asian fusion meals. The open-plan lake-view restaurant provides a picturesque setting to savor traditional rice and curry during lunch and dinner. All dishes use the finest local ingredients, sourced from nearby vendors, ensuring a fresh and delightful dining experience. The chefs accommodate various dietary requirements, and a children’s menu is available, providing a gastronomic journey that complements the estate’s serene ambiance.
