Thaala Bentota Resort, Bentota, Sri Lanka
Overview
Set along the golden sands of the southwest coast, Thaala Bentota Resort offers a relaxed beachfront escape where the Indian Ocean sets the pace of each day. Designed by Sri Lanka’s legendary architect Geoffrey Bawa, the property blends contemporary comfort with coastal character – open spaces, breezy walkways and tropical landscaping that reflect the spirit of its seaside surroundings.
Rooms and suites feature private balconies or terraces overlooking either the gardens or the ocean. Natural textures, soft colours and warm lighting create an inviting atmosphere for unwinding after sunshine-filled days. The main pool looks straight out to sea, while swaying palms and shaded loungers make it an ideal spot for slow afternoons.
Dining celebrates fresh ingredients and Sri Lankan flavours alongside international favourites. From long beach walks and water sports, to visiting nearby turtle conservation projects or river cruises on the Bentota lagoon, this resort offers a calm and scenic base for couples, families and friends seeking classic coastal relaxation.
