Saman Villas sits on a rocky outcrop over the Indian Ocean south of Bentota, with suites, some with their own pools, and a dramatic infinity pool. It is about 90 minutes from Colombo by expressway. It is now part of Jetwing and is for adults only. Who it suits: couples looking for drama and seclusion. Things to know: it is on a rocky point, so the swimming is in the pools rather than the sea right below.
