Sri Lanka

The Architecture of Geoffrey Bawa & Beyond

Discover Sri Lanka through the lens of its most renowned architect, Geoffrey Bawa, and the rich cultural heritage that inspired him.

Immerse yourself in Bawa’s work by staying in properties he designed, where traditional Sri Lankan and Dutch Colonial influences fuse together in his signature style, tropical modernism. Along the way, you’ll also explore the breadth of Sri Lanka’s architectural legacy, from ancient civilisations to the Kandyan Kingdom.

There’s time, too, to take in the island’s wider cultural highlights, including the Sigiriya rock fortress. And since many of Bawa’s creations are found on the southern coastline, you’ll venture there and round off the trip with a dose of relaxation on palm-fringed beaches. It is a holiday, after all.
