Visit Lunuganga Geoffrey Bawa house

Discover the timeless beauty of Lunuganga Estate, the iconic country home and garden of Sri Lanka’s legendary architect Geoffrey Bawa. Originally started in 1947 as a personal garden, Lunuganga evolved into Bawa’s lifelong creative sanctuary and became the foundation of his architectural philosophy. This inspiring estate reflects the transformation of Bawa from a barrister into one of Asia’s most influential modern architects.

Set amidst lush tropical landscapes, Lunuganga is a living masterpiece where architecture, nature, and art blend seamlessly. Bawa continuously redesigned the estate throughout his life, shaping it into a space that influenced many of his later architectural works across Sri Lanka and beyond.

Today, the estate is carefully preserved by the Lunuganga Trust, allowing visitors to experience the same environment that inspired Bawa’s creativity. Part of the property now operates as a charming country house hotel, combining heritage, hospitality, and landscape design.

With CCT Sri Lanka, your visit is fully arranged to ensure a smooth and insightful experience, including guided exploration of this historic estate.
