Lunuganga was designed by the renowned Sir Lankan architect, Geoffrey Bawa, as his country estate. It took over 50 years for Bawa to create this home and its 15 acre gardens from a derelict rubber plantation, and the hotel remains as Bawa designed. The boutique hotel is tucked in a rural location on the banks of a lake, with an impressive landscaped garden. Each room is unique, with antique furniture and original features alongside modern comforts. The restaurant serves delicious Sri Lankan cuisine, while guests enjoy views of the paddy field and lake beyond the dining terrace. Lunuganga is perfectly located to explore Bentota and the surrounding coast, or spend your time learning about the property with a guided tour and culinary class by the chef. Staying at Lunuganga is a must for architecture enthusiasts and those looking to relax in a beautifully serene environment.
At Love To Explore we would recommend the resort for these unique selling points:
- Previously architect Geoffrey Bawa’s country estate
- Beautifully maintained gardens
- Authentic Sri Lankan cuisine

FAQs
Why book a tailor-made holiday with a luxury travel specialist?
The best trips feel effortless, but behind every seamless journey is thoughtful planning and genuine expertise. A luxury travel specialist brings first-hand destination knowledge, trusted recommendations and personalised service to every itinerary, ensuring your holiday is shaped around you. From choosing the finest hotels and experiences to managing all the finer details, tailor-made travel allows you to make the most of your time away without the stress of organising it yourself.
What types of holidays do you specialise in?
Love To Explore specialises in thoughtfully crafted journeys designed entirely around each individual traveller. From slow, sun-drenched escapes on idyllic Indian Ocean islands to immersive, adventure-led safaris through the African wilderness, every trip is shaped by personal style and pace. While Africa and the Indian Ocean remain at the heart of what we do, our trusted network of local experts allows us to extend far beyond, opening the door to extraordinary destinations across the globe.
How far in advance should I book a holiday?
There is no single rule when it comes to booking your next escape, as every journey is completely bespoke. Whether you’re planning a special milestone trip years in advance or seeking a spontaneous last-minute escape, we can help shape it at any stage. That said, for the best choice of boutique lodges and the most sought-after properties, we recommend beginning the planning process around nine months to a year ahead, allowing the widest possible access to availability and experiences. For certain safari lodges and iconic seasonal moments, such as Japan’s cherry blossom season, we would advise planning up to two years in advance.
