Our Story
Where tradition meets tropical paradise
Welcome to The Helsy Bentota. Nestled on our family’s ancestral land in the heart of Sri Lanka, The Helsy is a warm, homely place to stay, to be cared for and to enjoy good food.
Peter’s passion for authentic, farm-fresh British food – inspired by his English roots – runs through everything we do. From homemade sausages and bacon to hearty classics, every dish celebrates flavour and craftsmanship, using ingredients from our very own farm. More than a business, we are a community-driven venture that supports local livelihoods.
