The Villa Bentota by KK Collection

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.

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!

I was at a wedding recently at The Villa Bentota, and honestly, it was one of the best experiences I’ve had at a hotel anywhere in the world. I live in the UK and have travelled to many countries, stayed in plenty of hotels, but nothing has ever matched the service and attention to detail here. The staff were incredible from start to finish—so friendly, so professional, and they genuinely cared about every single guest. The wedding was organised beautifully, everything ran so smoothly, and the food was just amazing. You could really feel the effort and passion the team put into making the day special. What really stood out to me is that this place works for anything—not just weddings. Whether you’re going for a casual dinner, a special occasion, or even just to relax, I don’t think you’ll find service like this anywhere else. Truly the best I’ve experienced, and I’d recommend The Villa Bentota to absolutely anyone.

It's a lovely hotel with friendly, helpful staff and good food. Went there for my son's wedding. Rooms are a bit 'dated' in some respects and in need of updating, but on the other hand that's perhaps part of the character. Experience was a bit soured when they charged one of our party an exorbitant amount for a broken glass and also for 'stained sheets' (fake tan) - without even having tried to launder them (stains come out quite easily apparently). In light of how much we'd all spent at the hotel I found this annoyingly petty, not helped by the explanation offered - 'it's company policy - no local discretion' - for me, you can't operate a hospitality business that way.

Top notch stay. Such an interesting complex. At first you walk through and don’t take too much of it in, but when you consider it at a slower pace, the nooks and crannies come alive!! The staff are excellent, always smiling always trying to help. The early morning trains that come past, there is only a couple, can take getting used to, but seeing the odd train during the day that is packed with local commuters and school kids, hanging out the doors, all smiling. A bit of an event! The rooms are beautifully finished and our suite was particularly spacious.

The most perfect venue and setting for an intimate wedding. We hosted a three day weekend of events at the villa and it was perfect for roughly 30-35 people to stay overnight for 2 nights and Club Villa is right next door to accommodate extra rooms which is really ideal. The villa itself had spacious and clean rooms. Our suite was great and had plenty of space ahead of the wedding to hang clothes or do any last minute prep. Only top tip is, if you have a marquee being set up overnight in the garden, the night before the wedding day, it’s best to sleep in the furthest room from the entrance of the suite due to set up outside as it can be noisy. ||We had roughly 65 - 70 people for our wedding day with a marquee set up in the garden and a ceremony on the beach. We hired a wedding planner separately (Catherina De Silva) who is a great planner and her team know the venue extremely well. The decor was really beautifully done by her and her team. Pre-event, Kalpa and his team at KK Villa Bentota were always extremely accommodating and essentially allowed us to create custom menus (within reason) for all three events we had which required food and beverages. Whether it was a live barbecue or traditional Sri Lankan food, they honestly went above and beyond to make it happen. We really cared about the food and drinks being good across the weekend and a lot of care was taken to deliver a great experience on our wedding day, welcome evening and post wedding lunch. We had numerous cocktails across 2 days and they made them for our guests to exact preferences and the bar tender on the wedding day went above and beyond to make amazing drinks. He was so well trained and did a great job. We were about to hire an external cocktail making service to make the cocktails really early on in the planning - honestly, there is no need for that, just work with the team at the villa and they will exceed expectations.||The service you get is superior from the team at the Villa and they are very well versed in taking care of weddings and guests. There were some really nice touches as well like noticing it was my husband’s birthday and the Villa arranged tea and a birthday cake for us by the garden. ||The overall setting and backdrop of the villa with the beach nearby and the pool, the gardens, honestly had a lot of our guests saying it felt magical. The sunsets were second to none and our wedding ran so smoothly. We did a round trip of Sri Lanka after our wedding and this was still our favourite place. ||Thank you to the team at The Villa Bentota for making our wedding memorable and an amazing experience.

Great place that feels like you are staying in someone’s luxurious Sri Lankan home The pool, and the beach behind the hotel are amazing features. The train which passes by behind the hotel is very charming. |Rooms are large and clean. We had a lovely large balcony. Food was great and the staff very friendly/helpful .|Would definitely recommend.
