This estate, originally a rubber and cinnamon plantation, showcases a European Renaissance-style garden, thoughtfully designed with every structure and statue carrying significant meaning. The garden’s architectural elements provide an immersive experience into Sri Lanka’s rich cultural history.

    12:00 PM: Return to your hotel in Bentota/Beruwala, reflecting on the architectural beauty and serenity of these two remarkable Bawa gardens.
