Media Reviews
"'The water bodies, columns and stone - a particular style - the mind roller-skates to jog the memory; things look familiar; there is a hint of understated elegance. Then it dawns on you… Geoffrey Bawa of course!....this colonial, Dutch-style country retreat embraces you in this warmth: the ochre of the walls, bright blinding sunlight which greets you when you actually 'step in' after the formalities at the reception…Club Villa - Sun, sand & stunning, an estate of Grace'"

Location
Club Villa is an elegant 19th century villa with spacious gardens, walkways and waterways which rests in a small coconut plantation in Bentota, two hours south of Colombo. Bentota is one of Sri Lanka's most popular family resorts on the west coast.
Introduction
This refined, spotlessly clean small hotel offers a calm and intelligent base from which to enjoy the golden beaches of Bentota and beyond. A chief attraction is the candlelit dinners beneath the stars, with lanterns adding to the romantic atmosphere - after all, why eat indoors when the warmth and sounds of a tropical evening are to be enjoyed? Dinner is tailored to your order earlier in the day. The extensive coconut grove is large enough for a short evening stroll. The beach lies beyond the garden, across the simple West coast railway line, which few find disconcerting.

Accommodation
The 17 simple but tasteful bedrooms possess beds with mosquito nets, ceiling fans, murals, batiks and a little antique furniture. They have high ceilings, good views and either balcony or terrace. Many rooms have a mezzanine floor. Most bedrooms have bathrooms with showers, and some bathrooms have half-roofs, giving a sense of open-air showering in total privacy. Five deluxe rooms are larger with a/c and minibar and large balcony. The Club Suite has its own sitting room and expansive terrace.
Facilities
Delicious Sri Lankan and European cuisine is served here prepared with fresh sea food brought right to the doorstep by the village fishermen. Menus are tailor made to suite guest's requirements. A selection of alcoholic beverages is on offer at the bar. The gardens are scattered with flowering tropical trees, shallow ponds and a relaxing swimming pool with sunbeds.
Excursions
Visit the nearby Lunuganga -a garden retreat that was created by Sri Lanka's iconic architect, Geoffrey Bawa. The Lunuganga gardens were a life long project cherished by Bawa and designed with numerous varieties of foliage, many pavilions, and statues. Several water sports including surfing, snorkelling, jet skiing are on offer just nearby in Bentota and Hikkaduwa. Go out to sea in a catamaran with the fisherman or take a boat ride along the tranquil Madu River past quaint rural villages, en route, visit the local markets, temples & craft and antique shops. Visit Kosgoda's Marine Turtle hatchery - a valuable conservation project that protects the endangered Marine Turtles of Sri Lanka. Experience Ambalangoda's cultural heritage with a visit to the Ariyapala Mask Museum where intricate masks used in various southern traditional dance forms are on display. Masked dancing is also performed here regularly. Visit Mitiyagoda's gem village where the semi-precious moonstones are mined and turned into intricate pieces of jewelry. Explore Galle's 17th century Dutch Fort, a UNESCO world heritage site with a maze of narrow streets lined with Dutch and British period buildings still in use, the sturdy ramparts looking out to sea, and a growing collection of art galleries, antique shops, cafes and restaurants.
