The Long House Bentota Living

The Long House Bentota offers a winning combination of lush tropical surroundings and elegantly curated interiors. This sprawling mansion sits just steps away from the beach – accessed through a walk in the garden and crossing over a quirky single-track railway line – and offers a blissful escape in one of the most beautiful locations in Sri Lanka.

Living Room

Much of your lounging and socialising at the villa will take place outdoors, with a generous dining pavilion adjoining the poolside terrace seamlessly. The villa’s entrance hall also features a relaxed yet elegant seating area framed by beautifully chosen artwork. For a more intimate setting, each bedroom also includes a private lounge area.

Dining Room

The dining pavilion has a grand feel to it, running the full length of the villa’s 24-metre long swimming pool. This open-sided space offers a tropical feel of alfresco living and enough room for the whole group to dine together while enjoying views over the pool and garden. Another option is the dine indoors gathered around the long dark wood dining table, enjoying the cool breeze of the ceiling fan.

Garden

The 24-metre long swimming pool is the undeniable star of the show, lined with white resort style sun beds and parasols and framed by picture perfect palm trees. The garden is characterised by gracious stretches of green lawns, with an easy walk taking you straight to the beach.

    Paradise found
    The design of the property is something else. There has been so much thought behind the project. I’ve never stayed in a property quite like it. The unassuming entrance opens up into a world of luxury. The furnishings, the public areas and the rooms are all spots on. The staff are simply fantastic and congratulations to the gentleman who looks after the beautiful gardens/flowers and the pool area. The staff always professional. The highest level of service and the staff are always smiling. The food is also lovely. The pool is something else and the train line at the end of the garden is well, just unique! Yes the trains may wake you. (Ear plugs provided. Another nice touch) Yes it does feel a bit strange sitting watching the train go past but my wife, daughter and I thought it was wonderful! The other side of the train track is a beautifully kept and quiet beach area which although open to the general
    Public is spotless and swimming was possible in February. 5/5 for the room. 5/5 for the staff. 5/5 for design and 5/5 for cleanness. Thank you also for the late check out. It made our time so much more relaxing and it’s truly appreciated. It is located on a nice quiet spot of beach but less then a ten minute walk to water sports galore. My daughter loved her first surfing experience! Go stay it’s very special and you wont regret it!

    A slice of heaven
    My husband and I spent a few days at the Long House on our two week trip in Sri Lanka and it was a highlight of our trip. The villa is absolutely stunning, the decor is beautiful, and the property is immaculately well kept. I should also mention that the service was exceptional and exceeded that of any hotel on our entire trip. The food and cocktails were top notch!

    While we spent most of the time at the pool, the beach is just steps away with beach-side service.

    I couldn’t recommend this place enough, it was absolutely incredible.

    Extraordinary!
    Of all the years of travel and places we have stayed around the world, this is one of the true highlights. Spacious, luxurious, incredibly tasteful, such hospitality and generosity. We loved the architecture of this house, the pool, the vista to the ocean and totally enthralled with the passing trains.
    The food was superb – can’t recommend The Long House highly enough.

    Relaxing time by the beach
    This is an amazing property with easy access to the beach. A great place to relax and do nothing but chill by the pool. The rooms are tastefully decorated and comfortable. Attentive staff providing excellent service and the food was superb. Will definitely come back

    I really like this villa. The staff were very attentive and cater every our need. The building like a resort, however in each room has privacy, I mean there is a separate space and private balcony. This villa also have on site restaurant, so we can order the set menu from our room. The room also has complete amenities.

    Super luxury villa in Sri Lanka for those wanting the ultimate VIP stay. The villa is one of the best in terms of the service and style and really offers guests a 5-star experience. It’s not the best for children under 6 years as the villa is separated from the beach by the local train track. But watching the train go by while sitting at the pool is an experience in itself.

    Spent just 4 nights here following my husbands work trip in Kalutara.
    The hotel is immaculate, beautifully styled with incredible attention to detail in both its facilities & service.
    The staff are attentive & charming & the food is wonderful. We don’t usually eat where we stay as it’s nice to get out in the evening & sample local restaurants but the Long House & The Rock villa’s food was so good & well priced, we didn’t bother after the 1st night.
    Can’t recommend this place enough, one of the loveliest hotels we’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in.

    Couldn’t ask for more
    We visited this property for 4 nights with our 5-year-old and another family with two more small kids. Before so we arrived expecting great things and we certainly weren’t disappointed. It just so happened that we had the entire place to ourselves and the attention to detail was amazing. The food was so delicious and they were very happy to customize dishes or even make things that were entirely not from the menu. The staff were very caring and left no stone unturned making sure we were comfortable and well taken care of. Thank you to the manager Dharshana and his team for a super relaxed holiday!

    Excellent is not good enough
    My wife and I visited the Long House in Feb for 4 nights and I have to say it is one of the best places we have ever visited.

    The staff are amazing, the perfect balance between attentiveness and knowing when to leave you in peace. Nothing is ever too much to ask.

    The building itself is stunning. Tasteful and practical interiors and facilities with very spacious rooms and one of the most comfortable beds I have ever slept in.

    The food. Well. Its simply out of this world. Everything is fresh and home made by some seriously talented chefs (might even just be one guy as we only met one). Some other reviews have said the food is a bit pricy, I don’t know if they have adjusted their pricing since, or if the local establishments have upped theirs, but it was only very slightly higher than the beach shacks and local restaurants – for far superior quality. Seriously, don’t even bother eating out.

    Afternoon tea (served by the pool at 4:30 every day) is a lovely touch and the little treats they serve along side are delicious.

    Overall we both loved it and would come back in a heartbeat.

    Amazing stay
    We have just finished a 4-night stay at the wonderful Long House. We are a family of 4 with 2 small children (4&6), and the hotel is wonderful. The staff cannot do enough for you and are always on hand if you need them. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Food was lovely, and what we did have was really nice. The room was spotless every day, and the hotel was immaculate. We will definitely return if we come back to Sri Lanka again.
