Saman Villas

Getting there

Saman Villas, a member of the Small Luxury Hotels of the World is located on the Bentota beach, just 62 km off Colombo on the southern coastline. It is about two and half hour drive from the airport and haven for relaxation.

Atmosphere

Saman Villas is magnificently perched on a rocky headland dividing two long seemingly endless, surf-swept un-spoilt beaches of golden sand, backed by dense green coconut plantations, in the quiet-sleepy fishing village of Aturuwella in Bentota. The atmosphere is one of tranquility, disturbed only by the sound of sea gulls and the waves breaking on the rocks belowThe views, from anywhere in Saman Villas, are unbelievably magnificent.

The inviting ‘infinity edged' swimming pool with sea blue water appears to merge with the vast Indian Ocean beyond. The cascading gardens on the rock face offer a variety of locations to appreciate the magnificent views, caressed by cooling sea breeze, in quite relaxation.

Rooms and facilities

The 27 luxuriously furnished, air-conditioned Suites of Saman Villas, designed in traditional Sri Lankan style are carefully positioned to give spectacular views of the shoreline and sea.

The rooms include an open-air bathroom, dressing room, sleeping deck, lounge area and verandah, mini-bar, cable and satellite TV, radio, CD player, telephone, safe, make-up mirror and hair dryer.
