The Long House Overview

If Sri Lanka is the hottest destination on every discerning travellers’ wish list, The Long House by Taru Villas is the jewel in the crown that is Bentota. Besides its excellent location on one of the most unspoilt beaches on the South West coast, this private villa with its sumptuous interiors & charming staff offers a winning formula for total relaxation and indulgence.

The understated elegance of this uniquely luxurious residence and an uncommon level of service encourages you to immediately feel at home, ready to unwind and be pampered. 10 lavish bedrooms make it ideal for small groups of friends and family to reconnect and bond while holidaying together, yet with plenty of quiet space to retreat to.

Lovers of contemporary tropical design will be wowed by celebrated architect Anjalendran’s clean, majestic lines, and be blissfully transported by the gorgeous interiors. The Long House features plush fabrics, stunning furniture and exquisite artwork by some of Sri Lanka’s most sought-after contemporary Artists, to complement the architecture.

Apart from basking in luxuriously appointed bedrooms and living spaces, guests of The Long House may choose from an array of activities– from a work-out at the well-equipped in-house gym, to professional in-house massage, from lounging poolside all day to tailored excursions and day trips for those who are eager to see more of Sri Lanka and understand her culture. If you vacation with family there’s a Playroom for kids, and a Music Room for the adults, with state-of-the-art sound and entertainment systems for movie nights. This boutique hotel is connected to a magnificent, wind-swept, uncrowded beach, beyond the quirky train-track at the bottom of its garden. It is this beach, with its fine sand and salty ocean breeze, that inspires and informs a fabulous group getaway.

Luxurious living, refined style and the gracious Taru Villas’ service makes for an exclusive and unforgettable escape at this villa.
