Sri Lanka holiday in Bentota and Villa Thamburu resort

We travelled to Sri Lanka via Singapore from Perth, Western Australia the first week in Sept, as first time visitors to Sri Lanka, for a 1 week holiday. Our accommodation was the beachfront resort of Villa Thamburu near Bentota in the South West of the country, picked from a google search and did not disappoint. It was a handy base for activities we wanted to do, like a train trip to Colombo Fort and return same day, visited both the 'Brief' and Geoffery Bawas 'Lunuganga Gardens', both in the Bentota area. Another day a small bus trip took us to Yala National Park where we boarded a safari jeep which took us among the parks animals, including Elephants, monkeys, deer, water buffalo, crocodiles and the ever elusive leopards. Also did a day trip to the beautiful historic town of Galle Fort. Wherever we went there were visitors from many countries enjoying what Sri Lanka has to offer and contributing to the local economy. At the time of visiting it was the off season with the peak season not commencing until around Nov/Dec, however the lack of tourists didn't halt the service provided at Villa Thamburu, which was on point at all times. Our suite was beautiful with views over the pool garden leading down to the beachfront. The staff were excellent, always ready to assist and nothing was too much trouble. The resorts Al a carte restaurant was brilliant, even keen to assist with an occasional off menu request, and a trip to the local fish market to collect it. So in closing we can highly recommend a visit to our chosen area of our first visit, its wonderful people, bearing in mind Sri Lanka has a lot more to offer. If your travels take you to the Bentota area, we give the Villa Thamburu a huge thumbs up, 10 out of 10. Thank you all for memorable time. Russell and Glenice.
