Taj Bentota Resort and Spa wins two prestigious titles at SATA Awards 2023 

In a double win for Taj Bentota Resort and Spa Sri Lanka at the South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) 2023, the resort earned a Silver Award in the ‘Leading Beach Resort’ and ‘Leading Wedding Hotel/Resort’ category.

The seventh edition of SATA saw a total of six South Asian countries competing, with more than 750 venues nominated for the awards, evaluated by an esteemed panel of international industry jury members at preliminary sessions conducted across Maldives, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, and Bangladesh. The glittering event celebrated travel, tourism and hospitality icons that have established global standards, while empowering local communities.

Taj Bentota Resort and Spa General Manager said: “This  award is testament to our unwavering commitment of providing exceptional facilities and service to our guests. Inspired by its iconic cliff-side location on the breathtaking Southwest Sri Lankan coast, the resort is energised to continue crafting extraordinary guest experiences, from idyllic beach getaways to spectacular weddings.”

”As custodians of a precious eco-system and a thriving community in the Indian Ocean, Taj Bentota’s exceptional staff remains driven to create greener, safer, responsible and extraordinary travel experiences,” he added.

The award also underscores Taj Bentota’s commitment to sustainability and responsible tourism. Having recently received the EarthCheck Platinum recertification, the resort has doubled down on efforts to minimise environmental footprint while creating unexpected memories for beach vacationers. The science-backed recertification is in line with the global benchmark set by its parent company IHCL which has 77 EarthCheck certified hotels including the largest number of Platinum certified hotels in the tourism industry, anywhere in the world.
