Tick off 2017 travel goals at Shangri-la’s Hambantota resort & spa, Sri lanka

Guests of Shangri-La’s Hambantota Resort & Spa can take the opportunity to fulfil their travel goals for 2017 through a series of adventure tours and experiences. Including several bucket-list experiences within Sri Lanka’s rugged Southern coast, the island’s region- to- watch, it’s an ideal base from which to explore. Influenced by the importance of meaningful travel experiences as an integral component for today’s luxury traveller, Shangri- La has carefully curated this selection of tours with their guest in mind.

Located on the ancient Spice Route, hugging the Indian Ocean coastline, the hotel is perfectly positioned to offer unrivalled access to some of the country’s finest nature and wildlife reserves; Yala, Bundalaand Udawalawe National Parks; the surfers’ paradise at Arugam Bay and whale-watching in Mirissa. The hotel is also home to a unique Artisan Village which, in the absence of local retail, allows guests to familiarise themselves with the work of some of the region’s most innovative and talented artists and craftsmen, through a one- of- a- kind cultural platform.
