What you can expect

  • 08:30 AM: Start your unforgettable half-day tour with a pick-up from your hotel in Bentota/Beruwala, and begin your journey to explore Sri Lanka's architectural gems.

    09:00 AM: Visit the Brief Garden, the serene retreat of Bevis Bawa, Geoffrey Bawa's older brother. Once a rubber plantation, this tropical garden blends Italian, English, and local styles, offering a unique experience. Despite Bevis Bawa’s passing in 1992, the garden has been carefully preserved, maintaining its original charm. Nature enthusiasts will find this visit truly enriching.

    10:30 AM: Head to Lunuganga Bawa Garden, Geoffrey Bawa’s former residence, nestled in a tropical landscape. This estate, originally a rubber and cinnamon plantation, showcases a European Renaissance-style garden, thoughtfully designed with every structure and statue carrying significant meaning. The garden’s architectural elements provide an immersive experience into Sri Lanka’s rich cultural history.

    12:00 PM: Return to your hotel in Bentota/Beruwala, reflecting on the architectural beauty and serenity of these two remarkable Bawa gardens.
