Saman Villas Hotel, Sri Lanka

The resort of Saman Villas is situated in the quiet, sleepy fishing village of Aturuwella in the outskirts of Bentota, boasting beautiful views of the Indian Ocean and one of the best stretches of golden sandy beach on the entire southern coastline of Sri Lanka. It is approximately 2.5hrs drive from the airport.

The hotel’s unique location, perched on a rocky headland, coupled with its lush tropical vegetation and secluded beach makes it the ideal place for a tranquil holiday.

Opened in 1995 and recently refurbished, Saman Villas has the distinction of being the first ever deluxe Boutique Hotel in Sri Lanka and won awards such as “Best Boutique Hotel in Sri Lanka” for three consecutive years at the Travel & Tourism Awards.

The villa style property offers 26 suites and one duplex villa, all uniquely positioned to offer stunning views of the ocean. All suites, and the duplex villa, offer modern comforts – the suites are housed in two-storied beach view villas, with only two suites to a villa.

The impressive range of facilities includes an inviting infinity edge swimming pool, a fully equipped gymnasium, an all-suite garden spa, a well-stocked library (with a wide selection of books, music CDs and DVDs), a snooker table, boutique and more.

Enjoy your favourite European cuisine or try some authentic Sri Lankan dishes at the Terrace or open plan fine dining restaurant. There are also many private dining locations for a romantic dinner setting.

With its unique ambiance and service, Saman Villas is a much sought after destination for discerning travellers and honeymooners alike.
