The Villa
KK Collection announced the reopening of the hotel formerly known as Paradise Road Villa Bentota in mid-October, expanding its portfolio of luxury boutique hotels.
Originally built and designed by Geoffrey Bawa, The Villa has been operating as a boutique hotel for the past 11 years. Located mid-way between Galle and Colombo, with direct access to the beach, the property offers guests a plethora of activities such as a visit to Lunuganga or Brief Gardens, jet skiing on the lagoon or even a visit to a turtle farm.
KK Collection Founder/Director George Cooper stated: “The charm, style and spaciousness fits perfectly into the KK Collection quality standards in offering, and it is for these reasons and many more that we see a true synergy for a hospitality offering, unlike never before.”
Under KK Collection management the property has undergone extensive renovations, whilst maintaining its historical and cultural charm, and will feature as a destination wedding location, ideally suited for elegant garden/outdoor weddings.
Concluding, Cooper stated: “We are extremely pleased with the addition of The Villa Bentota to our portfolio. With the great potential we foresee in this property, we believe it will become a sought after destination in Bentota – not only for domestic guests but also for international travellers.”
KK Collection consists of two award-winning luxury boutique hotels in the Galle area and two luxury tented camps, Leopard Safaris by KK Collection, in Yala and Wilpattu. The collection also consists of a retail boutique store selling fashionable clothing, accessories and homeware in the Galle Fort.
Designed to offer luxury travellers a decadent, stylish and serenity-focused experience with an emphasis on health and wellbeing, KK Collection offers the perfect contrast between the island’s palm-fringed beaches, jungle interiors, and rich wildlife experiences.
