Anantara Resorts are dedicated to making your event extraordinary with a range of conference and event options in a picturesque coastal environment. 

Anantara Kalutara Resort welcomes corporate events large or intimate at its luxury retreat located just one hour from the city of Colombo. With manicured grounds and gardens, and a large convention centre, Anantara is perfect for the ‘new normal’ COVID protocols. The resort can accommodate social distancing without any disruption or discomfort to a MICE event. 

The purpose-built two-storey meeting complex comprises the 618 sq. m. grand ballroom, four meeting rooms, and expansive indoor and outdoor pre-function areas. The complex boasts unique dual views of the Indian Ocean and Kalu Ganga River. Floor-to-ceiling windows maximise natural light and give way to stunning sunsets. 

“At Anantara Kalutara we are delighted to offer guests an authentic experience for meetings and events while being able to design a bespoke set-up that can immerse you in your surroundings. With a dedicated team on hand to provide personalised planning, you are assured of flawless delivery and a tailor-made experience” said Anantara Resort Kalutara General Manager Darren Darwin.  He continued to say, “Our team is highly trained in Anantara’s Stay with Peace of Mind program, ensuring that safety is of paramount importance for all of our client’s meetings and events.”

The perfect setting for conferences and events, the ballroom can accommodate 400 guests for reception, or 350 guests for banquets and meetings in theatre style. Designed for maximum flexibility, the pillar-free ballroom can be divided into two equal soundproof spaces, both equipped with state-of-the-art mood lighting and audio-visual systems. “A selection of VIP welcome gifts, themed décor and entertainment teamed with catering options are on offer for all events at the resort,” added Darwin.

Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle epitomises authentic luxury along Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Coupled with spectacular seclusion, the 152 rooms and pool villas are surrounded by 22 acres of coconut plantation, golden sandy crescent beach and the Indian Ocean.

“Meetings and events at our secluded shoreline resort offer natural exclusivity. The well-equipped boardroom and outdoor spaces are ideal for business meetings and memorable private events,” said Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle General Manager Stephan Moonen. 

The resort is the perfect location to celebrate with a sophisticated dinner for a privileged few, or host a vibrant garden, pool or beach event with tailored décor, menus and entertainment. This secret hideaway offers a tranquil escape to get away from it all.

Facilities and services offered for meetings and events includes themed and tailored tea/coffee breaks, high-end audio-visual equipment, secretarial assistance, translation facilities and a range of pre-and post-event excursions. “Anantara Peace Haven is ideal to host a corporate retreat, team building exercise or partner-bonding experience. Guests can re-energise after an event by indulging in a relaxing spa treatment or with yoga on the beach.”
