Nisala Arana Bentota, A Private Villa

A boutique & Bawa inspired manor house in the village and nearby to the Bentota beach. Set on acres of coconut estate & landscaped gardens this is a 7-bedroom villa with freshwater swimming pool & private chef. We offer unique experiences including cultural cooking classes & traditional devil dancing with Sri Lankan & seafood garden dinner nights also available. The property is a secret escape for intimate destination weddings, wellness, photography, artist & writer retreats in Sri Lanka. The space Set on acres of tropical gardens and working coconut estate Nisala Arana is a haven for native and migratory birdlife and features a 180 year old Dutch period colonial manor house. The property is dappled with fruit and medical plants stemming from its history as the former home of an illustrious Veda Mahattaya (Village Ayurveda Doctor). The property was meticulously & lovingly restored to its former charm and we opened our doors to visitors and friends in early 2002. Guest access Guests will have access to all common areas of the property including the Garden Pavilion, The Pool and all Rooms if booking the place exclusively. Guest Bicycles are available and we also have a Private Tuk Tuk for Beach & Town trips. If guests are interested they are also welcome to join our Chef in the Kitchen to learn about Sri Lankan cooking and maybe share a few recipes and skills as well. Other things to note Mosquitoes are likely to be around in the evenings so we recommend travelling with personal repellant. We provide multi-plug adaptors in all rooms for your convenience. We are located nearby to international standard shops & supermarkets in the town. We are also nearby to a good pharmacy and have a Hotel Doctor on Call when and if needed. Our cook is skilled in Sri Lanka and some Western cuisine and so we recommend you get in touch early to discuss cooking options and menus for your stay to ensure availability. Guests can bring all supplies of food and beverage or we can help to arrange shopping for you if needed. We do also arrange Airport transfers from Colombo Intl. Airport and recommend booking early to ensure availability and best rates.
