This spectacular property is a masterpiece created by Sri Lanka's foremost architect, the late Geoffrey Bawa. The one time rubber plantation house was discovered by Geoffrey Bawa in a state of disrepair. It became his dream, and spent 40 years transforming it into a tropical idyll. It is now managed by the owners of the Sun House, Dutch House and Taprobane Island and is open as a hotel during the months of December to April. The rest of the year it falls within the management of the Bawa Trust and is open for garden tours and artists to enjoy. Lunuganga is a serene retreat, hidden from the trappings of tourism. It is for nature lovers and daydreamers! Filled with antiques and original paintings, discerning travellers have the chance to experience a memorable stay in one of the tremendous suites. The gardens of Italian style with courtyards, water pools and ponds, winding walkways, pavilions and hidden gardens, is idyllic. The enchanting views of the jungle and the lake is a tranquil picture in itself. Perfect for couples and groups. There is no pool at Lunuganga.
