The 9th South Asian Travel Awards (SATA) 2025 saw W15 Collection being awarded in the Leading Boutique Hotel category with the submission of their signature property, W15 Hanthana Estate.

This award recognises W15 Hanthana Estate and the W15 Collection as one of the best in South Asia and reaffirms its position as an iconic, award-winning group of hotels and a favourite choice for travellers seeking a luxurious, intimate, and exclusive getaway.

W15 Collection Founder and Visionary Hardy Jamaldeen said, Boutique Collection at the South Asian Travel Awards 2025 is an incredible honour. This recognition belongs first to our remarkable team whose passion and dedication bring the vision of W15 to life every single day and to our valued patrons whose trust and love inspire us to keep raising the bar. At W15, we believe that small and unique can be truly special and that sustainable tourism is the way forward for our communities and our planet. I’m grateful to my team and our valued patrons for being a part of this journey.”

W15 Collection, a group of six boutique hotels, dotted across some of the most picturesque locations of Sri Lanka, was born with the launch of W15 Weligama in 2015, creating the distinctive name of the collection. With the tagline ‘moments to memories’ every W15 Collection property promises its visitor a stay like no other, an experience that surpasses expectations.

The pristine white beaches of Weligama and Ahangama can be enjoyed whilst being pampered at W15 Weligama and W15 Escape. If heeding the call of mountains is your pleasure, W15 LakeGregory and W15 Glenfall in Nuwara Eliya, and W15 Ambulwawa in Gampola will cocoon you in warmth and luxury while the gem of the collection, W15 Hanthana Estate, will take one’s breath away with every single aspect of the wondrous stay.

W15 Hanthana Estate, an elegant colonial bungalow surrounded by manicured sprawling lawns and offering views of the verdant Hanthana hills, offers its patrons the most sublime escapes on an all-inclusive basis with luxuriously appointed suits, exquisitely crafted and scrumptious cuisine and the renowned W15 hospitality with a personal butler at hand. As the stay promises an elevated experience above and beyond luxury, service and excellent cuisine, Hanthana Estate can be permanently etched into memory through scenic trekking on the iconic Pekoe trail, mountain biking, wildlife excursions and picnics on a nearby outcrop of rock with a vivid backdrop of a stunning sunset.
