Explore Lunuganga, the iconic Geoffrey Bawa Country Estate, and its exquisite gardens on a guided tour from Bentota or Beruwala. Immerse yourself in the life and work of Geoffrey Bawa while taking in the serene beauty of his surroundings.

Your tour begins with a convenient hotel pickup, followed by a tuk-tuk ride to Lunuganga, located on the tranquil shores of Dedduwa Lake. Enjoy a guided walk through Bawa’s former residence and gardens, learning about his architectural vision, design philosophy, and the estate’s 40-year development. Discover the stories behind each building, monument, sculpture, and decorative piece scattered across the estate.

Next, visit the Brief Garden, created over 15 years by Bevis Bawa, Geoffrey’s elder brother and a renowned Sri Lankan artist. This beautifully designed five-acre garden features lush tropical vegetation, elegant sculptures, and thoughtfully landscaped grounds. Stroll through its serene paths and admire the harmony between art and nature.

After exploring these two remarkable estates, enjoy a relaxing return journey to your hotel, reflecting on the creativity, history, and natural beauty you’ve experienced.
