About This Listing
Price is for a non-AC double room. There are five rooms available.
The Space
Lal has made the upper part of his family’s home available for guests. Clean and spacious, it has four rooms with attached bathrooms, hot water, a kitchen, a terrace and a nice living room for guests to enjoy. Lal’s home is 50 meters away from the water, which makes it a perfect point from where to start a lagoon trip.
Interaction with Guests
Lal is both your host and owner of the house. He was a bit shy when we took the picture, but we know him as a warm, welcoming host who knows the area well and can give you lots of tips about where to go and what to do. He can help arrange some tours and can provide delicious local food upon request.
The Neighborhood
Bentota is one of Sri Lanka’s most fancy beach towns, known among other things for its beach, turtle hatchery and the architecturally interesting Brief Garden. It is also one of the most popular weekend hideouts for Sri Lanka’s upper class, so expect relative abundance here. This reflects on Bentota’s homes, many of which are big and luxurious and are managed by people who’ve seen tourists before. Lagoon trips, all kinds of water sports and fishing are among the things to do here. Apart from chilling on the beach off course.
