Once the country home of Sri Lanka’s most celebrated architect, Geoffrey Bawa, the Lunuganga Estate is a masterpiece of tropical garden design and artistic vision. Set beside the Dedduwa Lake near Bentota, these sprawling gardens fuse colonial charm with Italianate landscaping, reflecting Bawa’s unique blend of architecture and nature. A guided walk through Lunuganga reveals water features, pavilions, sculpture-studded lawns, and exotic plantings—each carefully curated across decades. Open year-round, the estate is most vibrant between November and April, during the dry season. For design lovers, artists, and tranquillity seekers, Lunuganga is an essential stop.
