Minor Hotel Group has opened its second Avani resort in Sri Lanka.
The Avani Kalutara Resort & Spa, which is located on the country’s southwest coast, was formerly known as the Kani Lanka resort and has been relaunched under the new brand following a US$5 million renovation. The opening follows the launch of the Avani Bentota in 2011, which became Bangkok-based Minor’s first ever Avani property.
“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,” said Dillip Rajakarier, Minor Hotel Group’s CEO.
The latest resort features 105 rooms, all with private balconies or patios overlooking the ocean, river or gardens. Other facilities include two restaurants, two bars, a gym, tennis court and spa. The resort also offers meeting space for up to 100 people.
Avani was launched by Minor Hotel Group in 2011 as a sister brand to Anantara. It now plans to roll out the brand to destinations across Asia, India and the Indian Ocean and Middle East.
