Me and my girlfriend are both avid globetrotters and have a habit of travelling to various places and our latest such trip was to the sub continental island of Sri Lanka. Also being cricket fanatics we intended to travel slightly ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup and stay there for the first few matches of the tournament. There was a major rush for tickets and stays in hotels and hence we were lucky to get our accommodation through Antilog Vacations. The Saman Group of Villas was booked as our stay in Bentota.
The Saman is a small boutique cottage resort which has been in existence for a long time but has managed to keep itself abreast with the times. The manager said that it was the oldest resort in Bentota and contained both single and double storied individual villas. We got an ocean facing room and as we moved into our cottage we could see that the traditional Sri Lankan architectural style of clay roof and bordered accentuated the villas.
The spa inside the hotel is quite reputed and we decided to check it out at our first chance. The notion of open air massages inside private gardens reminded us of European therapies and coupled with private facilities like floral bath, aromatic sauna, Jacuzzi, the entire experience was quite memorable. The deluxe and superior therapies consisted of the choicest Sri Lankan oils and herbs and replete with skilled therapists we had a holistic time. Based on personal experience I would suggest the Aromatherapy and the Hot Stone therapy as they were especially rejuvenating.
The in-house restaurant had delectable dishes with Head Chef Rizvi being a pioneer in Sri Lankan food. A separate confectionary chief and his cakes and pastries added the perfect underline to our trip and we recommend the resort highly. A Big thanks to Antilog Vacations for this wonderful journey!
