Discover Geoffrey Bawa's World
Step into the timeless world of Geoffrey Bawa, Sri Lanka's most celebrated architect, whose vision shaped not just buildings, but the very way we experience space, light, and nature. Often called the "father of tropical modernism," Bawa blended architecture with the environment, creating places that feel alive, breathing with the landscape around them.
Heritance Kandalama
Nature & Luxury in Harmony
Heritance Kandalama
Nature & Luxury in Harmony
Perched on the cliffs of Dambulla, the Heritance Kandalama hotel is one of Bawa's masterpieces. Built to blend into the jungle, its walls are covered in vines and its corridors open to sweeping views of Sigiriya Rock and Kandalama Lake. Here, architecture disappears into nature, offering a magical stay where guests feel part of the forest itself.
Lunuganga
The Garden of Dreams
Lunuganga
The Garden of Dreams
Bawa's country estate, Lunuganga, is a living canvas where he experimented with ideas throughout his life. Walking through Lunuganga is like stepping into a painting—hidden courtyards, lakeside views, sculptures, and open-air pavilions all create a dreamlike journey. It's one of Sri Lanka's most enchanting gardens, and a must-visit for lovers of design, history, and beauty.
Number 11
The Home of a Master
Number 11
The Home of a Master
Tucked away in Colombo, Number 11 was Bawa's private residence and design laboratory. Every corner reflects his genius—playful courtyards, light-filled spaces, and clever use of art and detail. Visiting this house is like walking into the mind of Geoffrey Bawa himself, a rare glimpse into his creative soul.

The Royal Colonial Heritage of Sri Lanka
Step into a timeless journey across centuries of royal power, colonial charm, and the rebirth of a nation. Sri Lanka's story is one of beauty, conquest, and resilience — where empires rose, kingdoms stood proud, and the island blossomed into the jewel of the Indian Ocean.
Colonial Heritage
Centuries of history preserved in stone and spirit
Timeless Beauty
Where empires met and cultures flourished
Portuguese Era
Origin
Portugal 🇵🇹
Pioneers
Lourenço de Almeida, Dom Jerónimo de Azevedo
When the Portuguese first anchored at Galle, they called this island Serendib — the land of unexpected beauty. They brought forts, faith, and fierce battles along the coasts. Their legacy still echoes in the ancient walls of Colombo and the old churches of Galle Fort.
Dutch Era
Origin
Netherlands 🇳🇱
Governors
Gerard Hulft, Ryckloff van Goens
With power and precision, the Dutch swept through the coastal lands, mastering the spice trade and crafting majestic architecture. Their canals, forts, and cinnamon gardens still whisper stories of an age when trade met tradition.
British Crown Rule
Origin
Great Britain 🇬🇧
Leaders
Frederick North, Sir Robert Brownrigg
The British Empire united the island, built railways through emerald tea hills, and introduced timeless elegance to Ceylon. Yet beneath the calm, the proud Kandyan spirit never faded. The British left behind tea plantations, hill stations, and colonial mansions that today define Sri Lanka's charm.
The Age of Freedom
Origin
Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
From colonial rule to independence, Sri Lanka rose again — strong, spiritual, and breathtakingly beautiful. Today, the island shines as one of Asia's most captivating destinations — a land where royal heritage and natural wonders live side by side.
