Visit (or Re-Visit) Sri Lanka and Find Paradise with Avani Kalutara’s Reopening Package

Kalutara, 4 February 2022: With international travel to Sri Lanka once again possible, Avani Kalutara Resort (www.avanihotels.com/kalutara) is ready to welcome overseas travellers back with ‘Rediscover Avani’ — a new stay package offering savings of 40% on all rooms and suites, complimentary spa moments and savings on high-adrenaline thrills.

Originally designed in 1994 by Geoffrey Bawa, one of the most influential Asian architects of his generation, Avani Kalutara’s triton-like layout makes the most of the property’s location in a spectacular lagoon at the confluence of the Kalu River and the Indian Ocean. The resort’s fully-renovated suites, as well as brand-new pool suites with private plunge pools, are dressed in modernist white, accented with purple and cobalt blue.

Guests can grab a tropical concoction and settle in by the pool or witness the sunny bounce-back of Sri Lanka on a day trip to the historic city of Galle down the coast. Just a peaceful stroll away lies the Anantara Spa at the adjacent sister property, Anantara Kalutara Resort, offering soothing treatments and exotic elixirs. Recreational facilities include a 24-hour gym, Glider Adventure Tower for ziplining, climbing and abseiling, as well as water sports.

Travellers can get a taste of the coconut-rich Sri Lankan cuisine at Mangrove restaurant sourcing the freshest ingredients from local fishermen and farmers, as well as international delights. For cinnamon-flecked morning buns, artisanal sandwiches, strong coffee and world-famous Ceylon tea, all available for take-away, Pantry by Avani is the place to go.

The ‘Rediscover Avani’ package at Avani Kalutara starts at USD 75 per night and includes:

• Accommodation with daily breakfast
• 30 minutes extra for every 60-minute spa treatment booked
• 15% off water sports, rifle shooting, archery and ziplining

Guests staying five nights or more will also benefit from a welcome bottle of bubbly, guided Bawa tour of Anantara Kalutara Resort and daily complimentary dinner for suite bookings.

Fully vaccinated travellers to Sri Lanka can stay at any type of accommodation with no on-arrival PCR test required, with ‘Flexible Bio Bubble’ and ‘Tourism Bio Bubble’ options available to everybody else. Children below 12 years are exempted from on-arrival and exit PCR / Rapid Antigen tests.

The ‘Rediscover Avani’ package requires a minimum stay of two nights and is valid for bookings made before 31 March 2022 for stays until 19 April 2022. For more information and reservations, please contact reservations at kalutara@avanihotels.com.
