New Star Villa

Between the Bentota River lagoon and the Indian Ocean shoreline, New Star Villa sits on Sooriyagoda Road with direct beach access, sun loungers, and umbrellas included for guests. The garden-view balcony and open-air bath make it one of the more distinctive offerings in this stretch of Sri Lanka's southwest coast.

Rooms come with air conditioning, flat-screen TV, electric kettle, and private bathroom with bidet. Food delivery to the room removes any obligation to leave the property, and daily housekeeping is standard. Airport shuttle and both car and bicycle rental are arranged through the villa, covering transfers from Colombo Bandaranaike or the closer Koggala airstrip.

Bentota sits roughly 60km south of Colombo, where the river estuary draws boat tours and the beach stays calmer than Hikkaduwa to the south.
