Overview

Architectural estate in Bentota, Sri Lanka

Architecture & Gardens

Lunuganga By Teardrop Hotels is the former country retreat of renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa, set on a 12-acre estate with gardens created over 40 years. The property blends Italian Renaissance and Japanese garden styles, with emerald rice paddies, butterfly-shaped ponds, and moss-covered Ming pots. Guests receive a guided garden tour upon arrival, led by knowledgeable staff who explain the history of each garden area.

Dining & Experiences

The on-site restaurant serves a short but thoughtful menu of local delicacies and contemporary Asian fusion dishes, with special diet menus available on request. Breakfast is à la carte or continental, served on the terrace overlooking the lake. Evening cocktails include complimentary gin and tonics infused with local flavors, a tradition dating back to Bawa's time.

Accommodations

The property offers 7 spacious bedrooms spread across the main house and garden cottages, each with air conditioning, ensuite bathrooms, and safety deposit boxes. Rooms are individually designed with Burgher antiques and objets from Bawa's travels, including the Cinnamon Hill rooms and the Gate House. The No. 5 Guest Suite and Master Suite provide additional space and privacy.

Activities & Events

The Geoffrey Bawa Trust organizes daily workshops and art events, allowing guests to participate in hands-on creative sessions. Walking tours of the local area are offered, along with outdoor activities such as bird-watching, with staff like Suneth helping identify species. The infinity pool overlooks the lake and is open year-round, with sun loungers and umbrellas provided.
