One of the stars of the Serendib leisure hotel chain, Avani Kalutara recently launched a fully-equipped Water Sports Centre and offers over a dozen water-based activities that take full advantage of the hotel’s unique location.
Situated where the Kalu Ganga meets the Indian Ocean, Avani Kalutara is perfectly placed to offer guests the best of both the river and the sea; and the new Water Sports Centre has added a significant attraction to the property’s portfolio.
Avani Kalutara General Manager Thomas Barguil said: “Avani Kalutara is in a prime location, which has given us the ability to offer the best possible range of water sports. We have a wide menu of activities in both the ocean and the river, and the centre offers guests an exciting opportunity to add an extra component of fun, excitement and relaxation to their holiday experience. This is also an ideal amenity for our corporate and business guests who want to engage in team building and bonding activities during their stay with us.”
Kalutara also has the added advantage of its proximity to Colombo. Located a mere one hour away from the capital, Avani Kalutara offers a closer alternative to other water sports centres located in Sri Lanka, making even a day visit for water sports a convenient option.
Commenting on this, Barguil said: “Our property is unique amongst all the resorts in the Wadduwa/Kalutara area; as no other hotel can boast of the unique riverfront and oceanfront location that we have. This Water Sports Centre captures this unique location very well, and sets us apart from the other hotels in the area.”
The Avani Kalutara Water Sports Centre offers water skiing, jet skiing, wave surfing, body boarding, wind surfing and kayaking. Other activities include the famously fun banana and tube rides. The centre also offers one hour boat and speed boat rides, and for those who love fishing there are two-hour lagoon and four-hour sea fishing excursions available.
The centre is committed to the highest international quality and safety standards, offering Beginner and Intensive course options for certain activities depending on the experience level of their guests. All activities are carried out by certified trainers and guides to ensure that guests are absolutely safe and secure.
