Handicraft, in fact, is any of a wide variety of types of work where useful as well as decorative objects are, made completely by hand or by using only simple tools. We have lot of collection to see in our show room and workshop as well.

Well worth visiting this factory shop in Bentota, you can watch the men hand crafting sculptures and then look in the shop that has so many pieces to choose from. No pressure to buy at all, every piece we bought was carefully wrapped. Just wish we had more room in our suitcases! Highly recommend

Bentota Beach Hotel, an icon in Sri Lankan architecture and a property with a rich history reconstructed by Bawa’s student, Channa Daswatte is a true tribute to Sri Lanka’s most famed architect Geoffrey Bawa. Standing on the balcony of the Geoffrey Bawa Suite, you see the sea on the right and the Bentota river on the left, and Sripada and the central hills on the far right, all in one view. This view, according to architect Channa Daswatte makes this property the one that links the land and the sea. The ‘new’ Bentota Beach is not merely a recreation or a restoration. The main building of the old hotel has been reconstructed newly, as it was built by Bawa. This showcases Bawa’s wide architectural influences ranging from Bali to ancient Sri Lankan monuments. Inside the hotel has the signature of Geoffrey Bawa and the period it was constructed in, but in a modern and functional representation. The lead architect Channa Daswatte has done an amazing job, not only to archive an iconic construction but also through his brilliance, make it a fresh, modern and functional. It is a museum and treasure trove of art and architecture, that concurrently delivers a guests expectections from a modern luxury hotel.

Was taken here by our Tuktuk driver and were really impressed by the wide range of souvenirs at excellent prices. Were able to look around without being hassled by the staff although they were always on hand to help when we needed it.
