We are delighted to invite you to our home for a holiday experience with a difference. Unique boutique guest house with 5 separate suites none overlooking the other. All are exceptionally large and airy with private outside dining area. Enjoy the service of our very welcoming and caring staff.
Karen from Stockport UK. and Rohan from Bentota, Sri Lanka. We married in 2006 and set up home on the land Rohan was born and raised on. We built Shangri-Lanka Villa and made our roles of host and hostess official in 2007
We are situated in the heart of a traditional Sri-Lankan village. Surrounded by nature, yet only 10 minutes from the magnificent Bentota beach.
