Aditya
One of the most romantic places to stay in Sri Lanka, Aditya is a contemporary all-suite boutique hotel located on a secluded stretch of beach between Hikkaduwa and Galle. The hotel has a very elegant modern design throughout and is characterised by luxurious fittings, exclusive accommodation and a high level of personalised service. While Aditya is beautifully spacious, it maintains an intimate atmosphere since public areas are gracefully broken up by split level flooring, pretty lily ponds, plant-filled courtyards and wide archways. Soaring ceilings, polished floors and splashes of vibrant colour in alcoves and interior walls provide the setting for an eye-catching array of antiques, artefacts and pictures sourced from Sri Lanka, the Subcontinent and the East Indies.
The twelve suites are beautifully spacious and kitted out with every modern comfort you could ever wish for including cosy Jacuzzis, ocean view terraces and private gardens. The serene hammock-strung garden at Aditya is shaded by many palms and perfect for a satisfying siesta as you are lulled to sleep by the sway of the sea! Access to the long beach is through a sandy walkway between the many limbed trees that ensures privacy for the property. The seductive aquamarine swimming pool is drenched in sunshine all day long and enhanced by the crimson hued sky at sunset. Surrounded by little statues of celestial nymphs and stone frogs, this is the place to be at sunset with the hotel's signature Athura cocktail in hand. The Amal restaurant is definitely Aditya's best-kept secret since the extensive menu of innovatively created dishes is an absolute delight.
While the intimacy of Aditya is difficult to prise yourself away from this beach hotel is ideally sited for visits to both the island's surfing capital of Hikkaduwa and the historic city of Galle as well as all of the beaches, rivers and rainforests in-between. Aditya has created the ideal conditions for a truly relaxing holiday where you can de-stress, unwind and leave all of your cares behind.
