Feel the golden sand between your toes and the warm sun on your skin, breathe in the fresh sea air and feel yourself come alive again... in paradise. Welcome to the AVANI Bentota Resort & Spa, designed by world-renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa, who took inspiration from an 18th Century Dutch village to create a romantic home-away-from-home with a spectacular beach-side setting. Make plans over a generous breakfast of all your favourites. Explore the wild mangroves on a boat safari and spot kingfishers and crocodiles, or visit the world-famous turtle hatchery and meet the day-old baby turtles. Maybe a lazy morning, indulge yourself with a skin-soothing massage at the spa, before getting to work on your new favourite hobby, zipping through the crystal-clear sea on a jet-ski built for two.
