VISIT THE


LUNUGANGA ESTATE


When he died in 2003, Geoffrey Bawa left the Lunuganga Estate to the Lunuganga Trust, which maintains the gardens and opens them to the public. For more details, visit www.geoffreybawa.com


The Lunuganga Trust also runs the garden cottages as a country house hotel, offering five suites furnished as they were in Bawa’s lifetime with antique and modern furniture. For reservations, email reservation@lunuganga.com


The Trust also manages the Colombo Residence on 33rd Lane that Bawa converted from a row of small properties that he bought and developed from 1958 onwards. The Colombo Residence now comprises two bedrooms, a loggia and roof terrace and is available to rent. When unoccupied, it is also open to visitors by appointment. Email admin@gbtrust.net


Anantara Kalutara Resort


PLACE TO STAY WHILE YOU’RE THERE...


Among the latest of Geoffrey Bawa’s designs to be realised is Anantara Kalutara, whose construction was halted in the 1990s due to civil war and again in 2004 due to a tsunami. At last finished in late 2016 under the guidance of Bawa’s protégé Channa Daswatte, the 141-room property features a soaring main building with open airways that maximize the sea breeze.
