Celebrate Avurudu with Aitken Spence Hotels

As the sun rises and sets on another day, the Sinhala and Tamil New Year draws closer and is almost upon us. According to ancient history, as the sun moves from the house of Pisces to the house of Aries, a time of prosperous growth begins. Avurudu has always been a special time of celebration where families and loved ones come together as one to spread happiness as they rise and blossom into the future.

To mark this illustrious occasion and truly celebrate as one, Aitken Spence Hotels will host an array of authentic Avurudu festivities across each of their unique properties. Guests at each property will have the opportunity to experience distinct Avurudu celebration which will adhere to traditional practices whilst creating a modern experience of hospitality.

From vast offerings of veritable and mouth-watering authentic cuisine presented at each of our hotels – Heritance Kandalama, Heritance Ahungalla, Heritance Tea Factory, Heritance Negombo, Turyaa Kalutara, Amethyst Resort and Earl’s Regency on 14 April – to traditional games and festivities with prizes and surprises, Avurudu with Aitken Spence Hotels is guaranteed to be a fun family affair. Avurudu will be celebrated whilst keeping to the theme of our Heritance Hotels and Resorts which have been developed around a holistic idea of heritage and inheritance – celebrating the former whilst paying homage to the latter.

The vibrant Turyaa Kalutara will convert the South Wing Garden to a ‘Soorya Mangalya’ presenting a mini village carnival atmosphere with toddy counters, saruwat corners, a kopi kade with yaara tea and plenty of Avurudu games such as kamba adeema (tug-o-war), the thrilling kotta pora (pillow fight) or the sack race among others.

Special Avurudu high teas and yaara tea experiences have also been curated at Heritance Tea Factory, Heritance Kandalama and Heritance Ahungalla presenting favorite local sweetmeats along with aromatic tea.

The hotels have also extended special stay offers for their guests with discounts affiliated with a host of popular bank credit cards for the convenience of guests. The discounted stays can be booked on www.aitkenspencehotels.com/credit-card-offer.
