The Villa Bentota by KK Collection

This hotel absolutely goes above and beyond. Our trip was actually in Sept 2023 and our stay at this hotel was exceptional. Of particular note is the fact that I left my Kindle there and returned to the UK. The hotel did it's best to send it to me but because of the battery the carriers wouldn't take it. I never expected to see it again. Yet when a manager was in the UK recently he personally brought it across and put in the local post! So over 18 months later I'm reunited with it. Amazing!

We had a great stay. Hotel is walking distance to clean sandy beach. Several pools in the place. Spa was great. Food delicious. Welcoming drink was lemon with lemongrass. It was so delicious that we ordered it again on dinner. Room was made up twice. It was clean and spotless. I booked a room with private pool

Lovely peaceful and beautiful place. Loved watching the trains go through the bottom of the garden. Enjoyed the little balcony outside the room to sit and have an early morning cup of tea. Sitting by the pool under an umbrella was lovely. Staff and food very pleasant.

Five star, elegantly civilised experience. From the moment we entered the gates and were welcomed with a big smile by the guard, I felt welcomed, cared for and at home in the stunning surroundings. The service was faultless. A boutique hotel where every detail, from the iced water by the pool. The limited rooms, the proximity to the most stunning beach and the excellent breakfast, well made cocktails and beautiful artwork and utterly architectural digest worthy chic decor. I could have stayed for far longer and will be back. Also, the spa… I had a Ayurvedic massage by a lady who was spectacular. Best I’ve ever had. Thank you to the whole team for creating a little paradise.

Best Customer Service ever. We had the whole place rented out together with friends and family. The location is superb. Very beautiful and attention to detail is just stunning. The staff was so attentive and responsive I have never ever had this anywhere I have been. Gardinal was taking care of all the allergies and dietary desires etc. and was always on top of things regarding our needs and wishes. The food was superb rooms very clean and all in all the stay totally worth it. Not one single guest had something to complain. Would recommend 10/10

We held our two day wedding at the villa bentota in february 2025. it was everything we ever dreamed. whilst the venue is obviously stunning and had enough rooms for our immediate family as well as different landscapes for different events (lawn, mangroves, beach), the standouts were the staff - everyone was so friendly, warm, welcoming and approachable from the planning stage through to the clean up and aftermath. they really looked after us and we were a considerable crowd of 140 people! kalpa in particular was our point of contact throughout and he along with chamodh, the new food and beverage lead and chef were excellent. i should also mention the food and drink - we wanted a completely sri lankan menu and sent them a proposed menu which included buffet, sit down meal, canapes and cocktails - they blew us out the water regarding our requests (including my mum who is hard to impress!). the food was delicious as well as authentic for our international guests and interesting and different for our sri lankan guests. the chef and his team are truly talented and we are so so so happy we chose kk for our wedding venue. they - along with Hemant Dadlani wedding planners - helped to bring our dream wedding to life and showcase the best of Sri Lanka - people, food, drink, music. thankyou!
