• Set beside the scenic Bentota River and within a protected Salt water Mangrove Sanctuary, 2 km from the beautiful Bentota beach and Bentota city center, is the well appointed guest house - Selavi...

  “The room was super clean and comfortable. The interior is still very new and the room very spacious. The location is super beautiful as it is located right at the riverside with a phenomenal view across the river. As the property lies a little outside the center, the staff has a policy of giving their guests free rides to the town and beach. This reduces the 15min stroll to a 5 min Tuk-Tuk ride. The staff was by far the best thing about Selavi: super helpful and accommodating - they really want you to have the best possible stay here! Breakfast was also excellent. Last but not least they offered a morning boat ride through the mangroves right next to the property. Would absolutely recommend this as it’s far cheaper than when you book in town and an amazing experience!”

• Saman Villas is located in the peaceful fishing village of Aturuwella in Bentota.

  “Quintessential upscale small Sri Lankan beach resort & spa in a magnificent peaceful ocean setting (23 suites). Beautiful spacious suites with unique outdoor bathrooms, private patios to dine & watch exquisite sunsets. One of the most incredibly large infinity pools with stunning views of ocean & miles of undeveloped golden beaches. The spa is tastefully appointed & in harmony with the environment; all treatments outdoors. The dining rooms brings exteriors inside with more breathtaking ocean & sunset views. Delicious food by a significantly well trained kitchen team & very courteous wait staff. I look forward to my return visit.”
