Hotels near Halwala

Villa rental and staff was great! They do as much as possible and was very cute! There were a lot of animals on villa and some plants(I have seen growing pineapple for the first time^^). Host helped us with bike and offer his help in any question.

I cannot write an objective review for the place since from me this was like a pilgrimage because I am just a huge fan of Geoffrey Bawa. Just being there was a dream come true! The staff is exceptional, very thoughtful and well mannered. The small touches like the happy hour where they serve home infused gin and tonic ( Bawa’s favourite) by the Lunuganga is an experience in itself. The sense was of history , his whimsical sense of design , his attention to detail is a learning in itself.. What a legacy !

The place is between the green cover, truly the approach feels like a jungle retreat. The staff and host were excellent, ensured we were at ease and provided whatever they could do to make us feel at home. Being pure vegetarian, they curated things for us with whatever we requested. The pool is clean, the shower pressure was low which when complained immediately the staff attended and corrected the same. The host is a national Husu Kungfu coach of srilanka and very polite, he has put in a lot of efforts building this property, slowly and steadily they are streamlining the issues. There is a old Buddhist temple around 200.mtrs away , the staff accompanied us to show and explain the same which was very sweet of them and thoughtful This place is quiet inside from the bentota main beach / market place nearly a 10-15 mins drive.

The villa is in a quiet area. The kids had a lot of fun in the pool and enjoyed the different games available like the billiard table. Aloka made sure we had great meals and showed us a river with small waterfalls in the area where the kids could take a swim which was great.

Loved the location and the villa we stayed in .
