MINOR Hotel Group, in partnership with Serendib Leisure, has debuted Avani Kalutara Resort & Spa, the brand’s second property in Sri Lanka following the inaugural Avani Bentota Resort & Spa in November 2011.
Formerly Kani Lanka, Avani Kalutara has reopened following a US$5 million refurbishment. Located in south-west Sri Lanka, Avani Kalutara is built on the mouth of the River Kalu, facing the lagoon in one direction and the Indian Ocean on the other.
The 105-key beachfront resort features four room types – Standard, Superior Lagoon View, Superior Sea View and Suites – with facilities such as two restaurants, two bars, a gym, a tennis court, water sports, a spa and flexible meeting space that can accommodate up to 100 people.
Dillip Rajakarier, CEO, Minor Hotel Group, said: “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.”
Abbas Esufally, chairman, Serendib Leisure Management, said: “This is a significant milestone in the company’s quest to dominate the hotel market on the island of Sri Lanka, providing superior hospitality options to the discerning traveller, working alongside the renowned expertise of Minor Hotel Group.”
