Aditya Resort

Ultra-contemporary Aditya is an all suite hotel designed to pamper and cossett the discerning traveller. Twelve spacious and luxuriously appointed suites enjoy views over the tropical gardens or the beach and are the last word in elegance and comfort. Close to Hikkaduwa's great reef and surf, Aditya is neatly tucked away close to a charming village offering absolute tranquility. The simplicity of the architecture, with lofty, light filled interiors, enhanced by perfectly placed antique furniture and works of art creates an environment which is a joy to encounter. The public areas are gracefully broken up by pillars, archways, lily strewn pools and changes of floor level so although spacious, there are many intimate sitting areas. The generous sized swimming pool and sun bathing terraces encourage the sun worshipper, while the well- equipped gym and yoga room take care of body and soul. An in- suite Spa service brings expert relaxation in total comfort and privacy. Sea bathing is safe for much of the year and the long secluded beach is perfect for strolls and children's play. Beyond the hotel the colourful tropical gardens, with their backdrop of mature trees and palms, are interesting by day and stunning in the evening against a fiery sun- set. A cosmopolitan menu in Aditya's restaurant features dishes both Western and Asian, with a strong emphasis on sea food and the catch of the day. However the adventurous or diet -limited guest may request custom prepared meals. A short journey north takes you to the wonderful coral gardens, surfing and diving (when seas permit) of Hikkaduwa and the arts and crafts centre of Ambalangoda, renowned for its distinctive Devil masks and antiques. Drive south to historic Galle for boutique shopping and sophisticated dining. Aditya prides itself on its level of service and claims to 'arouse the senses, stimulate the intellect and draw the soul into a truly transcendent experience'. Only you can judge the result.
