We stayed for two nights in the Gate House and enjoyed every moment of it. The place feels as though it has been landscaped by Capability Brown himself. With each step a new vista seems to open up giving you a glimpse of another hidden view of the estate. The Gate House is a set away from the main house... More

First and foremost it is important to let you all know that this hotel is not for you if you want a place that is buzzing and hip. However, if you want serenity, calm and nature then this can count on your top places in the world. The resort basically is the last home of Geoffery Bawa, the renowned Sri... More

My husband, teenage daughter and I booked in for 2 nights near the end of our holiday after an enjoyable but busy time on safari in Yala and whale-watching at Merissa. It was just what we needed to help us unwind before the trip back to Singapore. Lunuganga is one of the most tranquil, scenic places we have ever had... More

We stayed two nights at Lunuganga in the guest room and had a wonderful experience. The managers, Michael, Asha and Damien, made every possible effort to make guests feel welcomed and special. This is impressive especially since they do not have a hotel management background but are rather, the architects that Mr Bawa brought on to help restore the property.... More

Lunuganga is not for everyone, certainly, but we loved our stay in this stunningly beautiful and peaceful home and gardens of Geoffrey Bawa, the renowned Sri Lankan architect. The buildings he designed and decorated are just as they were at his death in 2003. Full of lovely objets d'art he collected but lacking what some might consider to be required... More

The gardens are amazing!! Every turn, every corner has something to see and when you think you have seen it all……you turn the corner…… and there is more! The garden looks so fresh and crisp in the morning sun against the beautiful blue sky and the fresh green grass. You don’t feel the heat of the midday sun as you... More

If you have a love and appreciation of architecture and wish to be surrounded by beauty, serenity and lush tropical gardens, a stay at Lunuganga should be something you do at least once in your life! I felt so privileged to be able to experience this magical place and it will be a stay I will always remember. I had... More

The management of the estate is very poor, slow in replying email and if you ask 3 things they may answer only one. During night walk, be warned of the dangerous dogs, they will come out in crowd and surroud you aggresively. Finally if you do not want to be overcharged, please prepare all the printout of all room quotation... More
