Luxury Hotels in Sri Lanka
β Heritance Kandalama Hotel π Location: Sigiriya β Reason to Recommend: A masterpiece by a master architect; excellent ecological environment βοΈ This hotel was designed by the national treasure architect of Sri Lanka, π Geoffrey Bawa, and has won numerous architectural awards. The building follows modernist design principles while respecting local traditions and environmental sustainability. πThe hotel is embedded in the rock and hidden among the surrounding greenery π³, fully reflecting Bawa's design philosophy of "integrating architecture with the environment." The hotel offers views of Sigiriya Rock, and most public areas face Kandalama Lake, with stunning scenery β€. The rooms, though not large, are well-maintained. β Jetwing Lighthouse Hotel π Location: North of Galle Fort β Reason to Recommend: A master's work; magnificent sea views βοΈ Another architectural masterpiece by Bawa, it cleverly utilizes the rocky terrain of the ancient city's cape, resembling a lighthouse from afar. At the hotel lobby entrance, the steep cliffs and the surging Indian Ocean π will come into view. I must say! β¨No one can resist the sea! Looking at the boundless blue ocean and listening to the sound of waves crashing against the rocks, one feels very relaxed, with a refreshed sense of body and mind β¨. β Paradise Road The Villa Bentota π Location: Bentota β Reason to Recommend: Boutique hotel; close to the beach βοΈ Yet another work by Bawa, the master indeed lives up to his reputation. Before Bawa redesigned and renovated it, this place was just an old dwelling, formerly the residence of Sri Lanka's third president, now a boutique hotel. Located on the southern beach of Bentota, the environment is quieter. Interestingly, the hotel is divided by the railway, with one part being the villa building and garden, but just across the railway tracks is the beach π. Additionally, the rooms are tastefully designed, and the breakfast is good. #Bentota#Galle#Sigiriya#hotel#SriLanka #SriLankaTravel #SriLankaTourism#Sri lanka hitel
