Mahi Villa  

Perched in Bentota on Sri Lanka’s sun-soaked southwest coast, this boutique villa with a spa vibe sits a short drive from Bentota Beach and close to Kaluwamodara Bridge and Moragalla Beach. Pet-friendly and quietly tucked near gardens and a lake, it’s an easy base for beach days and local sightseeing.

The property keeps things intimate with just five air-conditioned rooms. Rooms include flat-screen TVs, safes, electric kettles and complimentary bottled water, plus showers and toiletries; daily housekeeping keeps the place tidy. Expect garden and lake views and a relaxed, modern-unfussy feel.

Refresh at the full-service spa and massage room, work out in the fitness and yoga areas, or rent bicycles and dive with local operators. There’s a hair salon, barbecue area, tour desk and complimentary Wi‑Fi. Free private parking and an airport shuttle are available for convenience—wake up to sea-breeze mornings and hit the beach.

Practical touches include a 24-hour front desk, laundry and dry-cleaning services, private check-in/out and free self-parking onsite. Complimentary Wi‑Fi keeps you connected while staff can help arrange car rental or an airport shuttle for a surcharge.

An on-site restaurant serves meals and 24-hour room service is available. Guests can also use the shared kitchen or fire up the barbecue area for casual outdoor dining.
