Taj Bentota Resort and Spa

TripAdvisor Review
Sri Lanka, Indian Ocean
Bentota

The impressive, five star Taj Bentota occupies an idyllic location on one of Sri Lanka's finest beaches. Built in a colonial style yet offering a full selection of contemporary facilities including numerous restaurants and a well-equipped spa, the hotel justifies its reputation as one of the best in Sri Lanka.

Recline in the lap of five star luxury at the idyllic Taj Bentota Resort and Spa:

Why not take a trip to paradise this holiday and opt for a stay at the Taj Bentota in wonderful Sri Lanka? This hotel is the stuff dreams are made of with its breathtaking beaches, stunning facilities and designer style. You really couldn't wish for more.

Starting with the accommodation, Superior Charm rooms are located in the main resort building, all with a private balcony or terrace, which offers a stunning view of the tropical landscaping, and a fully equipped en suite bathroom. The rooms also feature satellite TV, telephone, mini bar, tea/coffee maker and safe. A range of other room types are also available upon request.

But these practical details don't really do justice to the splendour of the Taj Bentota. Here you'll find the highest standards of design and decor, contemporary colours and styling to maximise the pleasing aesthetics, as well as attentive service on hand whenever you need it. This really is a five star haven.

In addition to the stunning rooms, the resort itself also features an enviable selection of facilities for guest use. The huge, lagoon style pool is edged with palm trees and features a stunning view. You'll certainly want to spend some time relaxing here and letting your cares melt away...

For other ways to pass the time, a little exploration should bring you to the table tennis, water polo, volleyball, badminton, cricket, billiards and an indoor games room. (You'll be spoilt for choice!)

Relaxation is top of the list for most holiday makers to beautiful Sri Lanka, so here at the Taj Bentota, there's a well-equipped spa and fitness centre with sauna, steam room and jacuzzi. There's everything you need to really unwind and make the most of the holiday experience.

And for refreshments, you certainly won't be disappointed with the Taj Bentota either. There are no less than four restaurants here and plenty of opportunity to eat out whilst watching the sun set or sipping a cool drink under a romantic, starry sky.

If you're looking for the Sri Lanka holiday of a lifetime, you can't go wrong with the magnificent Taj Bentota Resort and Spa.

A fantastic place to stay

We spent 10 fabulous nights at this hotel. Not only are the facilities at the hotel excellent but the staff are absolutely amazing. Everyone greets you with a smile and nothing is too much trouble. The buffet dining is wonderful. The choice of food, presentation and quality is outstanding. A special thankyou to our wonderful waiter Dilan who went above and beyond to make our stay a great experience. His attention and service were first class. Also, so many of the staff to remember as they were all fantastic but thankyou to Sicile, the restaurant manager Damaish and our fantastic room boy Malawana who serviced our rooms beautifully and every day we came back to a cleverly made towel statue! Thank you Taj Bentota Resort for a fabulous holiday and many happy memories. This hotel is truly special.

An Exceptional Taj Experience – The Best Stay I’ve Ever Had

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional Taj Experience – The Best Stay I’ve Ever Had

This was, without a doubt, the best hotel stay I have ever experienced.

From the moment we arrived, every member of the team—from the front desk to housekeeping, the restaurant staff, and everyone we interacted with—made us feel genuinely welcomed. The warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail perfectly reflected what the Taj brand stands for. In fact, this experience surpassed every Taj stay I have had in India.

The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the Food & Beverage experience. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel every day, and every meal was exceptional in terms of quality, taste, presentation, and service.

A very special appreciation goes to Chef Mr. Dalip Singh. I have travelled extensively and stayed at many luxury hotels, but I have rarely come across a chef with such passion and dedication. He personally visited every table, interacted with guests, sought genuine feedback, and even offered to prepare dishes according to individual preferences. His humility, enthusiasm, and commitment to ensuring every guest had a memorable dining experience were truly inspiring. Hospitality professionals like Chef Dalip Singh are the reason guests return to a hotel.

I would also like to sincerely thank Ms. Shamika for her excellent support behind the scenes. Her efforts were clearly reflected in the seamless dining experience we enjoyed throughout our stay.

Please convey my heartfelt appreciation to Chef Dalip Singh, Ms. Shamika, and the entire team. They have set a benchmark for hospitality and reminded me why Taj continues to be one of the finest luxury hotel brands.

Thank you for making our stay truly unforgettable. We will certainly be returning.
