Travellers searching for the most value-for-money stay in a five-star hotel can find the cheapest options in Sri Lanka, says online travel company Kayak after a recent analysis of five-star hotels in countries across Asia.

It said Sri Lanka offers the cheapest five-star luxury hotels with average rates starting from just Singapore$241 (US$178.80) per night. For instance, Earl’s Regency, a hilltop retreat located in the town of Kandy boasts average prices that start at just S$208.

India and Malaysia follow closely behind with average rates at S$243 and S$244 respectively. Hong Kong has the most expensive five-star hotels with average rates at S$461.

Debby Soo, Kayak’s vice president APAC, was quoted as saying that travelling on a budget does not mean completely ignoring luxurious hotels.
