Avani Kalutara Hotel

"Situated between a tropical palm fringed beach and the Kalu Ganga River on the west coast of Sri Lanka, the club resort truly has a spectacular setting. It is located just 44 kms from the city of Colombo and 78 kms from the Bandaranaike International Airport. Fascinating sites, such as the world's only hollow Buddhist shrine and an elegant plantation mansion are in the vicinity. The Resort blends authentic Sri Lankan culture and old colonial charm with contemporary design flair and all the ingredients needed for an escape of laid back relaxation. Guests can cruise the ocean waves aboard a traditional boat or kayak along the river. They can order fresh seafood and the finest world flavours to private shoreline dining tables. Sample signature dishes that celebrate the unique tastes of Sri Lanka are offered daily. "
