Chami Villa Bentota

Sixteen rooms spread across a garden villa in Pitaramba, the quieter inland edge of Bentota where the Bentota River lagoon lies within cycling distance and the Indian Ocean beach sits a short walk beyond the property's own private stretch of sand.

Water sports run directly from the beach — canoeing, snorkeling, diving, and windsurfing all arranged on site. The kitchen offers cooking classes alongside its restaurant and room-delivered breakfast, with special diet meals prepared on request.

Bentota sits roughly 65km south of Colombo, reachable by intercity train to Bentota station two kilometers away. The villa's tour desk covers whale-watching at Mirissa and the Brief Garden of Bevis Bawa, a 20-minute drive inland.
