Bentota & West Coast

Avani Bentota

Avani Bentota was conceived by renowned Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa and is inspired by 18th century Dutch colonial charm.

The long sloping tiled roofs, stylish public spaces, open plan interiors with lookout first-floor balconies are perhaps its defining features.

Avani Bentota Resort sits on the widest stretch of golden sand and beach dotted with coconut palm trees in Bentota, on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka. It is safe for swimming during the season. Plenty of water based activities and sport are possible throughout the year making Bentota one of the sought after beach destinations in Sri Lanka. Avani Bentota isn’t just eye candy either- the sheer gastronomic array will delight you: You will be spoilt for choice.

Why do we love Avani Bentota?

We love it as most do for its architecture, being one of the best designed hotels in the area. Then there’s the perfect location where one can live the quiet desert island life on a golden beach beneath swaying palms, knowing that the city buzz and many adventure excursions are never far away at Avani Bentota.

Avani is family friendly so we can suggest it for families with children. Staff are happy to meet all requirements of guests, especially in the restaurant area. Avani rooms boast impeccable cleanliness and facilities.

What can I look forward to?

A magical experience, a destination that makes memories. Mangrove adventures, beach idyll and water sports, and of course lots of sight-seeing in the balmy Sri Lankan south.
