At the 2025 awards, Kayaam House was ranked third in the Best Hotels in the Rest of Asia category, while Ahu Bay secured third place in the Best Resorts in the Rest of Asia category. In addition, Ceylon Tea Trails was awarded ninth place among the Best Resorts in the Rest of Asia, reaffirming its enduring appeal as Sri Lanka’s iconic tea country escape.
“These awards are especially meaningful to us because they reflect the voices of discerning travellers from around the world,” said Resplendent Ceylon Chairman Malik J. Fernando. “We are constantly evolving to elevate Sri Lanka’s luxury hospitality offering and are immensely proud of the international recognition this brings to Sri Lanka. It is particularly gratifying that two of our newer properties, Kayaam House and Ahu Bay have been recognised on this global stage, whilst Ceylon Tea Trails is celebrating its 20th anniversary and still setting the benchmark.
