Thailand based Minor Hotels Group has announced the opening of its second Ananatara brand resort in Sri Lanka.
Anantara Kalutara Resort features 141 guestrooms, suites and villas, two swimming pools, a water sports centre, spa and three restaurants.
A conference centre accommodating up to 500 delegates is due to open on-site in March 2017.
"We are excited to open Anantara Kalutara, our second luxury Anantara resort in Sri Lanka. With its unique ocean and river front location we are confident that Anantara Kalutara will become one of the ‘must stay’ luxury properties for discerning travellers visiting the island, along with the now well established Anantara Tangalle on the south coast," said Dillip Rajakarier, CEO of Thailand based Minor Hotels.
The hotel is situated on the southwest coast about one hour from capital Colombo and was originally designed by Sri Lanka’s most renowned architect, the late Geoffrey Bawa.
Anantara made its debut in Sri Lanka in January 2016 with the opening of Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort.
