Geoffery Bawa's Masterpiece | The Villa Bentota |

The Villa Bentota, originally designed by the renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa and later restored by Udayshanth Fernando, is a captivating boutique hotel located in Sri Lanka. It embodies the essence of Bawa's Tropical Modernism, radiating an aura of refined sophistication. Originally an aging ancestral home, Geoffrey Bawa ingeniously transformed it into a boutique hotel, preserving its unique charm.
In 2007, Udayshanth Fernando acquired the property and embarked on a comprehensive renovation project. This renovation included the addition of a new wing, an entrance pavilion, a second swimming pool, and meticulously landscaped gardens. Despite these modern enhancements, the hotel has successfully maintained Bawa's original vision, retaining its distinct and private charm.
The restoration of The Villa Bentota is a testament to the harmonious blend of tradition and contemporary design, exemplifying the spirit of progressive architecture. This remarkable transformation showcases how a historic property can be reimagined and revitalized to offer a unique and elegant experience for guests.
