Amari Galle : On track to open in 2016
View(s):
Construction of Amari Galle Sri Lanka is progressing on schedule, with the resort on track to open in late 2016.
This upcoming opening marks the introduction of the Amari brand by ONYX Hospitality Group to Sri Lanka, and follows on the success of two earlier openings in the country – OZO Colombo and OZO Kandy.
All three hotels are owned by Sino Lanka Hotels (PVT) LTD, headed by Mr Bob Kundanmal, and managed by ONYX Hospitality Group.
Located in the southwestern coastal region of Sri Lanka, approximately 90 minutes by car from the capital city of Colombo, Galle offers a variety of historical and cultural features, including the famous Galle Fort, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by the Europeans. Amari Galle is located on a beautiful beachfront site, a short distance north of Galle Fort.
The property will have 172 rooms and suites, all featuring direct sea views. It will also present an extensive multi-tiered pool deck with direct beach access, Amari’s signature Breeze Spa, two restaurants, banquet facilities and a fitness centre.
On this development, Peter Henley, President & CEO, ONYX Hospitality Group, said: ‘We are strategically expanding our presence beyond Thailand across the Asia-Pacific region, and excited to introduce our flagship Amari brand to Sri Lanka.
Tourism in this country is thriving, and there is growing interest amongst international travellers to Galle. We are proud to be in partnership with Sino Lanka Hotels and Bob Kundanmal on their third ONYX property.’
