Placed among the country’s Top 10 Luxury Hotels and Top 25 Small Hotels by TripAdvisor Travellers Choice 2018, the award winning Aditya that sits on the southern beach of Rathgama recently unveiled two ultra-luxury villas, each with a floor space of an impressive 7,500 square feet. Probably the country’s largest stand-alone villas, the two storey villas with its rooftop jacuzzi, has two bedrooms, living, lounge and dining areas with a pantry for added convenience. Spaciousness, which is Aditya’s signature for all its suites is augmented even further at these two villas, with its rooms named after Hindu deities, Shakthi, Rudra, Aditi and Vayu.
With Aditya also winning TripAdvisor’s Top 25 Hotels in Sri Lanka for Service and Top 25 Hotels in Sri Lanka for Romance, the water features in the villas have been conceptualised primarily to take the concept of romance and of course R&R to the next level. The ground floor bedroom has its own 30’x12’ lap pool set within a lush courtyard, while the upper floor bedroom is all about imbibing the beauty of the Indian ocean, whether sunbathing for two during the day, enjoying a signature cocktail in the open-air rooftop jacuzzi at twilight or even under a canopy of stars, undeniably where romance knows no limits. Add a candlelit dinner while indulging in Aditya’s delectable epicurean fantasies accompanied to the symphony of the waves lapping at your feet or a spa treatment for two for some rejuvenation, and romance is definitely in the air. Each villa can be booked in total or as a single room option, either the ground floor or the upper floor.
Having etched its name indelibly in Sri Lanka’s luxury resort landscape and given remarkable kudos by guest who have repeatedly stayed at Aditya since it unveiled its unique brand of luxury in 2005, the resort’s contemporary design, tranquil milieu and outstanding service with the greatest attention to detail have been the collective mantra for its continued success. “The fact that we have been winning TripAdvisor Travellers’ Choice Awards consecutively for seven years denotes that we have won the hearts and minds of our guests,” says Director/General Manager of Hermitage Resort (Pvt) Limited, Shamindra Fernando. “To us, it is our service levels that we concentrate on greatly because while Aditya itself has been designed to present ultimate luxury, it is the human touch in service that places us at the zenith. I extend deserved kudos to our team, who all believe that service is the ultimate clincher in the hospitality industry and ensure that it is the ultimate promise at Aditya.”
The chic contemporary design with its Balinese and Sri Lankan antiques artfully interspersed with vignettes from cultural Sri Lanka, relaxation spaces with its tropical hues set against polished cement floors and each suite a haven of privacy, comfort, luxury and elegance heralds unimaginable levels of indulgence, crafted by Aditya to perfection. Add a delectable F&B menu with its a la carte or set menu options for breakfast, lunch and dinner and experience the gourmet journeys that Aditya Master Chef and his team creatively put together. Aditya is “a true secret gem,” as travel writer Philip Woman wrote and can stand proudly holding its four TripAdvisor awards, knowing full well that it continues to be the trendsetter in Sri Lanka’s resort space.
