View(s):Serendib Leisure Management in partnership with Minor Hotel Group, has announced the opening of the second AVANI resort – AVANI Kalutara Resort, on Sri Lanka’s south west coast.
Formerly known as Kani Lanka Resort & Spa, the resort has reopened after a significant renovation and refurbishment representing a Rs. 550 million investment. “Located south of the island’s capital Colombo, approximately a one hour drive from Colombo, AVANI Kalutara has a remarkable location, built on the mouth of the River Kalu, facing the lagoon in one direction and the Indian Ocean on the other,” a company statement said.
Facilities include a choice of four room types – Standard, Superior Lagoon View, Superior Sea View and Junior Suites – each with a private balcony or patio overlooking either the ocean, river or tropical gardens, two restaurants – out of which one is the main restaurant with theme night buffets and the other an a-la-carte restaurant, two bars – one overlooking the lagoon and the other the sea, a gym, a water sports facility and a heavenly spa. For business guests, the flexible meeting space provides the ideal venue to mix business with pleasure, able to accommodate up to 100 people for a conference, event or social gathering.
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO Minor Hotel Group, said in a statement that, “We are excited to open our second AVANI resort and to once again be working with Serendib Leisure, our partners in Sri Lanka, to bring our newest brand to life. Since its opening last November, AVANI Bentota Resort & Spa has become one of the leading resorts in the south of the island and we are confident that the newest opening in Kalutara will follow suit.”
Abbas Esufally, Chairman, Serendib Leisure Management Ltd., said, “This is a significant milestone in the company’s quest to grow in the hotel market in the island of Sri Lanka, providing superior hospitality options to the discerning traveler and working alongside the renowned expertise of Minor Hotel Group.”
