The Villa Bentota by KK Collection

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in December 2025, along with two other couples. The property is beautiful, with two swimming pools (one longer one that was perfect for swimming), a lovely outside patio for breakfast and dinner. The rooms are nicely decorated with strong air conditioning which is much needed given the heat outside. Hats off to the chef who planned the menu - great choices, wonderful flavours and beautifully presented on the plate. The staff are exceptional. The beach in front of the hotel is beautiful but there is a rip tide so swimming is not recommended, but you can walk further down the beach for a better swimming spot. Some people might be disturbed by the trains that come by occasionally between the hotel and the beach starting around 6 am but they move past quickly. I would have given it 5 stars for location if the train tracks weren’t so close by. Overall we really enjoyed spending our last two days in Sri Lanka here.

One of the best hotels we've ever stayed at. We spent three nights here and had an absolutely wonderful time, even though the weather wasn’t perfect. The property itself is stunning, beautifully designed, elegant yet relaxed, and full of character. The staff were exceptional throughout our stay, attentive, friendly, and always ready to help with a smile. Breakfast was superb, with a great selection and delicious local touches. Our favorite was the Sri Lanka breakfast. We also loved the direct access to Bentota Beach, which felt peaceful and private. It’s the kind of place that makes you slow down and just enjoy the moment. We would come back in a heartbeat and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a charming boutique hotel experience in Sri Lanka.

Be toys Villa was a wonderful place to arrive at. Very characterful, super food and 100% attention to our needs. The pool was the best pool that I have swum in. It is Olympic length and very clean. Access to beach was lovely and trains were fun and full of people either going to work or going back home. I couldn’t recommend it more!

We have just stayed for 4 fabulous nights at The Villa, what an incredible hotel. So stylish in its interior design, comfortable without feeling clinical. The whole team from the trainee waiters, restaurant and bar managers to the hotel manager were absolutely ‘en pointe’ - nothing ever too much trouble & always checked in to make sure everything was ok. This is a hotel where you feel part of the family, you feel welcomed from the minute you arrive, to the second you leave. I have no hesitation it recommending The Villa and hope to return one day.

We stayed at Villa Bentota recently, for two nights. The resort radiates serenity and beauty. The railway track just outside the rear of the villa adds to the old world charm of the resort. And the beach being just a little distance away adds to this. The landscaping is beautiful, and the little quadrangles with either pools or trees make this the perfect setting for a quiet and calm holiday. The rooms are spacious, once again oozing a quaint charm and the sleeping comfort is wonderful. It must be a haven for sea food lovers. As for us, being mostly vegetarian, the food selection was limited. While the Front Office and Housekeeping staff were very good, the F&B staff could probably smarten up a bit. Other than that, it was a pleasure to be at this place.

We hosted our wedding at Villa Bentota and it was everything we could have wished for. The setting is stunning, with beautiful gardens and a relaxed boutique feel that made the day so special. The rooms and suites are stylish, comfortable, and full of character—our guests loved staying here and felt truly spoiled. The staff were incredible—helpful, friendly, and attentive to every detail. A special thanks to the food and beverage team Chandima, Gardinal, Niluksha, Manuke and Vishwa. The food, tje cocktails, the atmosphere, and the overall charm of the villa made it the perfect place to celebrate. Highly recommend!

Absolut stunning! We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived, the staff was welcoming, friendly, and attentive. Every detail of our experience reflected high quality — from the cleanliness and comfort of the rooms to the excellent facilities and delicious food. The service was consistently warm, which made us feel truly valued as a guest. Overall, it was an amazing experience, the Geoffrey Bawa architecture makes it truly unique and the railway tracks next to it, give a special charm to the property. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for comfort, quality, and genuine hospitality.
