    Wednesday, September 23, 2026

    Folllowing breakfast, we check out and transfer to Bentota to visit the Geoffery Bawa Lunuganga Estate. Nestled near Bentota, Lunuganga Estate was the enchanting country home of Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka’s legendary architect and the pioneer of tropical modernism. This serene property, surrounded by lush gardens, reflects Bawa’s visionary blend of art, architecture, and nature. Each corner of the estate tells a story, with hidden sculptures, breathtaking views of Dedduwa Lake, and intricately landscaped spaces. Visitors can immerse themselves in Bawa’s world, exploring the estate’s elegant interiors and tranquil gardens that exude timeless charm and creativity. A visit to Lunuganga is a journey into the heart of Sri Lankan design heritage.

    We’ll also enjoy lunch at the estate before heading off to a turtle hatchery in Kosgoda. The Turtle Farm is a great place to see turtles of different ages. It’s run by the Wildlife Protection Society of Sri Lanka. This hatchery protects several species of turtles, especially the endangered hawksbill. The most vulnerable of all are their eggs, which are left uncovered on beaches all around the coast. However, the goodwill of Kosgoda’s fishermen, who bring these eggs to the hatchery for free, has led to the hatching of around 100,000 young turtles in only two years since the hatchery opened.

    After we’re off to Balapitiya for a boat ride to discover the serene waters of the Madu River through the stunning mangroves. You’ll also get the opportunity to visit a Temple and a Cinnamon Island.

    We’ll of course visit the Temple of the Tooth Relic which stands majestically as a symbol of culture, faith and history in the Buddhist belief. With a history that goes back to the 16th Century, to the time of King Wimaladharmasuriya 1, the structure seen today was built by King Narensdrasinghe (1707 AD). The tooth was brought to Sri Lanka in the 4th Century A.D., hidden in a princess’ hair. Since then, it has changed homes several times and was relocated to Kandy in 1590 where it has stayed to this day. Beautiful paintings and carvings, mainly from the Kandyan era, the golden Paththirippuwa, a library, the Royal Palace and many more edifices present much to see and experience.
