The Shangri-La’s Hambantota Resort & Spa has organised a series of adventure tours for guests, a hotel press release said.Included are several bucket-list experiences within Sri Lanka’s rugged Southern coast, the island’s region-to-watch, and is an ideal base from which to explore.
Shangri-La has carefully curated this selection of tours with their guest in mind, the release added.
Located on the ancient Spice Route, hugging the Indian Ocean coastline, the hotel offers access to nature and wildlife reserves; Yala, Bundala and Udawalawe National Parks; the surfers’ paradise at Arugam Bay and whale-watching in Mirissa. The hotel is also home to an Artisan Village which, in the absence of local retail, allows guests to familiarise themselves with the work of some of the region’s innovative and talented artists and craftsmen, through a one-of-a-kind cultural platform. Kadamandiya, otherwise known as ‘The Village’ is a cultural platform located within the Resort, dedicated to supporting and preserving Sri Lanka’s artisan communities.
The Village provides a platform for talented sculptors, weavers, silversmiths and performing artists to showcase their work to a wider audience, and permits guests to have the inside track into a region with untapped, exciting creative talent.
Shangri-La’s premier 18-hole golf course is the only one of its kind in the country. Set amid a vast coconut palm plantation, it offers spectacular views and distinctive challenges for casual and seasoned players.
