Club Villa, Bentota

Upon entering this charming, well-run, boutique hotel one is immediately taken by the welcoming and serene atmosphere. The expansive green lawns, swaying palms and long empty beaches combine with delicious seafood and creative cocktails to ensure a relaxing and memorable stay. The main Colombo to Galle railway passes at the bottom of the garden, but generally, guests find this more of an attraction than a nuisance.
