Lunuganga is a breathtakingly beautiful place. The late Geoffrey Bawa, the only internationally known architect and designer of Sri Lanka, spent 40 years transforming this abandoned rubber estate on the island’s west coast into a tropical idyll, with elegant Italianate gardens, courtyards, pools, walkways, pavilions – and inspirational views over the lake and jungle.
I know you have always wanted to visit, but the last 10 times you went to the South Coast beaches you have driven past, saving it for next time!
Next time will be this coming Sunday, 24 May. Art at Lunuganga is an art exhibition organised by artist Anoma Wijewardena and her students.
The exhibition opens on 24 May and stays on until the 31st of May. There is no need for registration and entry is free on Sunday. The other days an entry fee of 600 rupees applies.
Hidden Pavilion by Indra McCormick (see top) is one of the many beautiful works on display.
