Luxury Insider, Asia's leading luxury online magazine has picked the Six Senses Spa at Heritance Kandalama as among the top-5 sustainable spas in Asia.
 The hotel, part of the Aitken Spence Group, said Heritance Kandalama has been celebrated for its green philosophy and is widely recognized as the five-star resort that put eco tourism on the map in Sri Lanka. "We are committed towards sustaining and further developing our environmental programmes implemented and we are delighted to be recognised for our efforts," said B.H.R Sariffo'deen, Assistant Vice President, Aitken Spence Hotels.
The Six Senses Spa situated on a rock overlooking the world famous Sigiriya Rock Fortress belongs to a chain of 24 award wining, world renowned spas. The philosophy of Six Senses is based on balancing a pyramid of the five senses; sight, sound and touch are the base of the pyramid; taste and small form the center; the apex symbolises the unique sensory experience of the Six Senses Spa, the hotel statement said.
"Sri Lanka has particularly strict laws to protect the environment and wildlife. We are proud to say that the Heritance Kandalama not only complies fully with these laws, but we also go well beyond them; we take pleasure in our conservation work. We also respect the social and cultural sensitivities of the neighbouring communities, while assisting them with their livelihoods. We purchase local products and services, and involve these communities in our environmental conservation work," said Malin Hapugoda, Managing Director, Aitken Spence Hotels. |
