On a rocky headland between two beaches near Bentota in Sri Lanka, Saman Villas is an adults-only boutique hotel of 26 ocean-view suites and a villa, with infinity-pool views, a spa and dramatic dining settings.
Saman Villas perches on a rocky headland that divides two golden beaches in the fishing village of Aturuwella near Bentota, on Sri Lanka’s south-west coast, around two hours from Colombo. Often called the country’s first boutique hotel, it is adults-only, with 26 ocean-view suites and an exclusive duplex villa, several with private pools, in an open clifftop design that blends traditional splendour with modern style. The infinity pool appears to spill towards the ocean, and dining is a highlight for its settings, from rock dining at the sea’s edge to deck and pool-pavilion meals. The Sahana Spa sits in a secluded water garden with a jacuzzi, sauna and floral bath, and there is a gym, library and direct beach access. Experiences range from river safaris on the Madu Ganga to turtle conservation and whale watching. It suits couples who want a romantic, scenic clifftop base on the coast.
Dining is a highlight for its settings, served across four areas of the fine-dining restaurant and at several dramatic spots: rock dining on a platform at the sea’s edge, deck dining at the water, and a pool pavilion over the ocean.
There is also casual dining in The Verandah and ocean-facing terraces by the infinity pool, with Spanish-designed lighting setting the mood after dark.
