The River House and Shinagawa Beach by Asia Leisure have recently been ranked as two of the top choices on HolidayCheck.com.


HolidayCheck.com is Europe’s leading multilingual hotel booking engine and works primarily in four languages – German, Swiss, Polish and Austrian. With the tourism industry in Sri Lanka poised for robust growth with a target of 2.2 million tourist arrivals for 2016, it is key that in reaching varied segments, promotional tools are available in many languages to suit relevant source markets. As such, recognition by HolidayCheck is both of great value and well-timed in Asia Leisure’s overall strategy.


The two properties of Asia Leisure awarded on HolidayCheck have uniquely attractive offerings. The River House is a secluded escape located in Balapitiya on the banks of the Madhu Ganga. With just five suites set on 13 acres of land, The River House is filled with dazzling objets d’art and surrounded by nature’s majesty. The River House’s existing accolades include the plunge pool of the Menik Suite being ranked as one of CNN Travel’s ‘Sexy Skinny Dip Spots’ of the Globe and also being ranked by TheKnot.com as one of ‘50 Best Places in the World to Honeymoon’.


Shinagawa Beach invites guests to idle in one of Sri Lanka’s most bewitching settings. Situated on a sparkling stretch of sandy beach with an oceanfront like no other, the resort gives guests the most contemporary of comforts, all with a touch of magic. Guests staying at Shinagawa Beach wouldn’t be able to escape the stunningly views – whether you are at the resort’s restaurant and poolside or in the bathroom, bedroom or balcony of you room, you can gaze out at the million blue miles that stretch before your eyes. Shinagawa Beach is a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the World and has also been awarded ‘Best Small Hotel’ at the Rolls Royce, Asia Pacific Hotel Awards.


This recent recognition by HolidayCheck.com adds to Asia Leisure’s overall accolades and awards. With the group’s four existing properties and multiple other development projects that are underway, Asia Leisure is geared to take on the changing landscape of international tourism.
