Saman Villas: Where luxury takes on a new meaning
View(s):Perched on a rocky headland dividing two long seemingly endless, surf swept, unspoilt beaches of golden sand backed by the luscious greenery of coconut plantations in the quiet fishing village of Aruruwella, Bentota, lies award winning Saman Villas, Sri Lanka’s first boutique hotel.
At Saman Villas you’ll find a special place that is a true piece of paradise. Here you can soak up the style and sophistication of one of the most luxurious boutique hotels on the island, walk on the pristine Bentota beach or take a relaxing dip in the sea.
Saman Villas pushes the boundaries of exclusivity with just 27 exquisite villas some featuring their own private pools with unmatched views of the stunning and unspoilt coastline of Bentota .
Its tranquil setting means relaxation and romance are top of the bill. Make for one of the lounge areas or decks overlooking the ocean dotted around the grounds and you’ll find your own place in the sun.
Inside, there are hints at traditional Sri Lankan style but hip lighting and eye-catching artwork give the property a contemporary edge. Each of the 27 villas continues this trend. Think luxury bathrooms with outdoor showers and inviting bathtubs alongside beds that you’ll find hard to get out of! All the villas have stunning sea views and electronic blinds allow you to enjoy them without ever having to move from your bed.
Dinner is an event in itself and in keeping with its tradition of innovation Saman Villas has introduced dinner degustation menu from Executive Chef Alex Zinke. A degustation or tasting menu is an elaborate parade of dishes that showcase the true talent, and range, of a chef.
Think gorgeous sunsets, extravagant cocktails by the infinity pool, intimate and stylish suites with breathtaking sea views, some with their own private pools, lazy days of sunshine, unbelievably good food and you are picturing Saman Villas. An undeniably romantic boutique hotel that defines a luxury escape.
