Located in some of the region’s best touristic sites, Aitken Spence Hotels currently operates 20 hotels in Sri Lanka, the Maldives, India and Oman under the brands Heritance Hotels and Resorts, Adaaran Resorts and Turyaa. As Mr. Susith Jayawickrama, Managing Director of Aitken Spence Hotels states, “we have some of the most unique and best properties outside of Colombo. Our excellent service and fantastic management capabilities is what differentiates us from the rest of the hotel groups.”

Aitken Spence Hotels started in 1973 with Neptune hotel, a beachfront property on the southern coast of Sri Lanka that today is called Heritance Ayurveda, a holistic ayurveda wellness resort. Later they built Heritance Ahungalla, the first five-star beach resort in the country (as Triton Hotel), and Heritance Kandalama, a spectacular retreat near the Kandalama Lake that according to Mr. Jayawickrama, is “an iconic property and a role model for eco-sustainable tourism.” The three hotels were designed by prominent architect Geoffrey Bawa, representing proud examples of Sri Lankan architecture.
