The Villa In Lavinia, hotel in Mount Lavinia

Located just 100 metres from the beach, 1.1 km from the Mount Lavinia Bus Station and 1.4 km from the Mount Lavinia Railway Station, The Villa In Lavinia offers an outdoor swimming pool.

The property has called upon its history of struggles and achievements during its colonial past to make the decoration and wall hangings into something that is a daily source of interest to its visitors. They have successfully blended that with a small swimming pool and other decoration to give an immediate feeling of relaxation. The proximity of a family beach which stretches for miles in both directions and also houses cafes and restaurants with value prices to dream about

This is such a unique and special experience. Any Bawa fans should take the opportunity to stay at this residence while in Colombo. The breakfast provided is generous and delicious. The staff are very kind and passionate about maintaining Bawa’s legacy and provide guidance without making you feel like you need to be overly concerned or precious about your surroundings. An incredible stay that I highly recommend.

    The host is incredibly helpful and friendly. You really felt at home. Everything was perfect, we would like to give 11 out of 10 points ☺️🙌 The location of the accommodation is very central and yet pleasantly quiet. The rooms were clean and comfortable. This hotel gave us a great start in Sri Lanka. 😊

    We had an amazing stay here. The hosts, Sam and Steph, are the most kind, welcoming people you could meet. The staff are very helpful, nothing was a problem for them. The Sri Lankan omelette for breakfast was the best I'd had in the three weeks of travelling the country. Mount Bay Guest House rooms have all that you would expect at more expensive hotels. All the boxes are ticked. A very comfortable stay.

    Super host, Mr Raja, very attentive to our needs. Provided breakfast which wasn't expected but very welcome. Also complimentary cleaning of the apartment. Allowed us to use the lovely garden area to invite friends round to a bbq and even marinated the meatstuff for us. AC was good, and free wifi too. Location very convenient just outside of Colombo, very quiet with no traffic noise or fumes.

    I’ve stayed at the Villa in Lavinia many times. Since there has been a new manager it has gotten even better. Great location (just outside the city centre (which can be very noisy and crazy) in a nice, calm neighbourhood. The staff are super friendly and helpful and everything is very clean and nicely decorated. A boutique favourite for a very reasonable price.
