Saman Villas, Bentota Saman Villas has
been sensitively designed to take full advantage of both its Sri Lankan heritage and panoramic setting on a rocky headland between two golden sand beaches. As much as possible overlooks the surf-swept bay beneath, the two dining venues, relaxing sunset bar and 26 balconied guest suites
(several with their own pools) all carefully
positioned to offer mesmerising views of the
Indian Ocean, the infinity-edge swimming pool actually appearing to blend into it. Very tranquil and grown-up, leisure facilities here include the Sahana Spa and a well-stocked library. No children under 12 years allowed.

7 nights from £1,235 per person sharing including breakfast, economy flights and private transfers.
