Minor Hotel Group, in partnership with Serendib
Leisure, has opened the second Avani resort – Avani Kalutara
Resort & Spa, on Sri Lanka’s south west coast.
Formerly known as Kani Lanka, the resort
has reopened after a significant renovation and refurbishment
representing a US$5 million investment.
Located an hour south of the island’s capital
Colombo, and approximately a 2.5 hour drive from Bandaranaike
International Airport, the 105-room Avani Kalutara enjoys a remarkable situation,
built on the mouth of the River Kalu, facing the lagoon in one
direction and the Indian Ocean on the other.
There are four room types – Standard,
Superior Lagoon View, Superior Sea View and Suites – each with a
private balcony or patio overlooking either the ocean, river or
tropical gardens.
The resort’s two restaurants and two bars each
offer picturesque views over the ocean or lagoon.
Additional
facilities include a gym, a tennis court and water sports, whilst
at the spa guests can rejuvenate with relaxing massages and
facials, or enjoy aromatherapy and ayurvedic treatments.

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. Since its opening last November, Avani Bentota
Resort & Spa has become one of the leading resorts in the south of
the island and we are confident that the newest opening in Kalutara will follow suit.”
