Heritance Ahungalla

Geoffrey Bawa's most-photographed beach hotel.

Our verdict

Heritance Ahungalla is a Geoffrey Bawa-designed beach hotel that opened in 1981 and has been steadily refurbished — the columned pool, the open lobby with its reflecting pool, the symmetrical wings facing the ocean. Not the most luxurious option on the west coast, but one of the most architecturally significant in Asia. The Heritance Club rooms are the ones to book.
