As it makes its way back onto travel bucket lists as it reopens for business, the emerald island of Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean is ready for a close-up.
To remind the world's globe-trotting community of the many wonders the destination has to offer, Anantara Kalutara Resort is inviting holidaymakers to dive into new experiences centred on the commanding presence of the ocean, spirituality and cultural pursuits.
A tropical hideaway shaped by the creative vision of renowned architect Geoffrey Bawa, Anantara Kalutara is located only an hour from the Bandaranaike International Airport — perfect for spontaneous weekend getaways.
From this secluded beachfront setting at the confluence of the Kalu Ganga River and the Indian Ocean, visit Bawa's legendary Lunuganga estate on the banks of Dedduwa Lake in Bentota and wander around its enchanting green spaces which blend the elements of Italian Renaissance gardens, English landscaping, Japanese art and ancient Serendib's water features.
