The Saman Villas Hotel is one of the most luxurious small hotels on the west coast of Sri Lanka, with its sweeping views of the Indian Ocean, situated 65 kilometres south of Colombo and 92 kilometres from the country's international airport. The hotel is magnificently perched on a rocky headland dividing two long seemingly endless, surf-swept unspoilt beaches of golden sand, backed by dense green coconut plantations, in the quiet-sleepy fishing village of Aturuwella in Bentota.
