This elegant and sophisticated hotel provides luxury accommodation and mouth-watering delicacies, for those who are fortunate enough to experience this unique hotel, which has been designed by the very famous Geoffery Bawa.
The house mainly portrays the work of Bevis Bawa, the brother of Geoffrey Bawa. The house was originally a rubber plantation, and upon the death of their mother, the plantation was converted to the now legendary gardens. The House is mainly done with cement, and the front door of the house is set of large bamboo hedges and the house is almost invisible to the eye. The roof of the house is concealed by magnificent white bougainvillea. The house has a lot of art work done by Bewis Bawa, and many other work by other artists are featured too. The beautiful Male Nude Sculptures are remarkable and one should not definitely miss out on these beautiful art pieces.
