Taj Showcases Sri Lanka Experiences Through Two Properties

Taj is currently spotlighting the island nation through two distinct locations, providing travellers with opportunities to explore local beaches, wildlife, heritage sites, and city attractions. The hospitality brand aims to showcase the diverse offerings available to visitors through Taj Bentota Resort & Spa and Taj Samudra in Colombo.

Located directly on the shoreline, the coastal property features sea-facing accommodation, red-tiled roofs, and open terraces drawing inspiration from colonial-era architecture. Dining options at the resort include the Oriental Pavilion, which serves Chinese cuisine with views of the Indian Ocean, S.H.A.C.K. specializing in seafood, The Palms for dining near the pool, and a bar and lounge known as Tease. Visitors staying at the beach resort can also venture out to nearby points of interest, such as the Kosgoda turtle conservation project, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Galle Fort, boat safaris on the Madu River, whale and dolphin watching along the southern coast, and local handicraft and tea shops.

Taj offers dual coastal and urban experiences through its Sri Lanka properties.

Further inland in the capital city, Taj Samudra overlooks Galle Face Green and spans eleven acres of landscaped gardens. Its culinary venues include the Golden Dragon for Sichuan cuisine, Navratna offering Mughal-inspired dishes, YUMI for sushi, sashimi, and cocktails, The Lattice lobby lounge serving local teas and coffees, and Ports of Call for regional and international fare. The urban hotel also grants visitors convenient access to Colombo shopping destinations and cultural attractions, including Galle Face Green and the National Museum.

Both locations currently feature the year-round Suite Surprises package. This promotion grants a fifteen per cent discount on suite bookings, alongside daily breakfast, early check-in privileges, access to the Taj Club Lounge, and arranged airport transfers for guests.
