“Romantic retreat geared towards couples. Set atop a rocky crag, ensconced by white sandy beaches it boasts the most fabulous sunsets. Rooms are spacious with traditional accents, all with private gardens or terraces, some with private pools. Indulge in the restaurant or the Sahana Spa. ”

Hotel review

Sitting pretty atop a rocky outcrop overlooking the gorgeous Indian Ocean, Jetwing Saman Villas boasts spacious suites and villas — beautiful, luxuriously appointed little tropical hideaways perfect for a romantic retreat. Stroll along the seemingly endless golden sands of Bentota Beach and indulge in a rejuvenating Ayurvedic massage at the spa, before retreating to the magic of your private infinity pool. Venture further afield to stunning Singharaja Forest Reserve, visit architect Geoffrey Bawa’s garden at Lunuganga or amble around charming Galle Fort. Evenings are spent savouring Sri Lankan specialities under the stars — the service is excellent, there’s a wonderful sense of seclusion and serenity, and the vegetarian curries come highly recommended!
