Lunuganga was iconic architect Geoffrey Bawa's country house. This much-talented architect and artist poured heart and soul into the design of these very enchanting gardens. Surrounded by the river the gardens are fairy-tale like enclaves made up of nooks and crannies, resplendent with statues, ponds, pillars and exotic foliage that thrives under the warm tropical sun. An entrance fee is charged while tea on the veranda, overlooking the river, are simple pleasures one can look forward to at the end of the tour. A must for all culture buffs and those who love gardens, Lunuganga is indeed a must visit when in Bentota.
