The Calm Resort & Spa in Passikudah, the serene 70-roomed beachfront property of Browns Hotels & Resorts, has been recognised under the TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards for hotels in 2020. The Calm received the Travellers’ Choice Award from TripAdvisor for consistently earning great reviews from its discerning guests.
The award winners represent travellers’ top favourite properties in various destinations — 10% of hospitality partners in the world. In 2019, The Calm Resort & Spa was honoured with the coveted Certificate of Excellence by TripAdvisor.
The Calm nestled in the East coast of Sri Lanka, is just a walk away from the breath-taking Passikudah beach, which is renowned for its shallow coastlines and mesmerising blue waters. The resort is elegantly designed with tastefully appointed rooms and suites with vast open spaces to unwind. Equipped with a restaurant, bar and a swimming pool, the resort is ideal for a relaxing holiday and is the best escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. In addition to the resort’s wide range of contemporary amenities and heart-warming Sri Lankan hospitality, travellers can explore a wide array of experiences such as jet skiing, kayaking, stand up paddling, sailing, and snorkelling. Guests can also take a scenic tour over Batticaloa with Cinnamon Air and head out to the deeper waters of the Indian Ocean in search of the famed Hermes shipwreck.
Commenting on the achievement, The Calm Resort & Spa General Manager Susantha Bandara said: “The hallmarks of Travellers’ Choice Awards are remarkable service, quality, and value. Being recognised with a global award helps travellers identify and book properties that regularly deliver great service. Hence, we are delighted about this global recognition received by The Calm. This accomplishment is a testament to our commitment towards service excellence.” “Winners of the 2020 Travellers’ Choice Awards should be proud of this distinguished recognition,” said TripAdvisor Chief Commercial Officer Kanika Soni. “Although it’s been a challenging year for the travel and hospitality sector, we want to celebrate our partners' achievements. Award winners are beloved for their exceptional service and quality. Not only are these winners well deserving, they are also a great source of inspiration for travellers as the world begins to venture out again.”
