Interbrand, in association with the Daily FT, will once again celebrate International Women’s Day on the theme of “DigitALL: Innovation and Technology for Gender Equality and #EmbraceEquity”. 

This year Serenia Ltd., a mixed development Apartment Hotel will join the elite group of Corporates partnering with Interbrand and the Daily FT at this much looked forward to annual event which will be held on 7 April at the Oak Room of Cinnamon Grand Colombo. 

Interbrand, a leading global brand consultancy, specializes in brands and brand management, with 24 offices in 17 countries. The New York-based consultancy publishes the “Best Global Brands” report every year to identify the world's 100 most valuable brands. For the past 20 years, Interbrand has been putting a value on the world’s top brands. In an era when intangible value has become a critical measure of organizational performance, Interbrand’s “Best Global Brands” acts as a definitive source of knowledge.

 “We are indeed indebted to our partners for this event. Many of our partners were with us even last year and we hope they will continue this association next year as well,” said Interbrand Sri Lanka and Maldives Partner and Headlines PR Chairman Anusha David.  

Serenia , located on 300 perches of Sri Lanka's most exclusive beachfront area Talpe, known as the "Million Dollar Golden Mile", conveniently overlooking the famous Wijaya beach, consists of 42 dual-entrance hotel residences and 36 dedicated hotel rooms, totaling 110 keys, with services from internationally renowned  up market hotel brands. A one-of-a-kind project, unique to Sri Lanka, Serenia can best be described as a mixed development Apartment Hotel located on prime seafront. The Residences are now ready for handover with just two remaining for sale, starting at $ 380,000.

“A prestigious residential address with all the advantages and amenities of living in a grand, upscale, international hotel, is the best description we can give of Serenia,”said Executive Director Sabina Karunanayake.

A 7 metre double-height, open plan lobby, champagne bar and gourmet seafood restaurant awash in natural stone, a 6,000 square feet infinity-edge pool with heated jacuzzis, swim-up bar and the first of its kind 140 metre powder-soft private beach with sand from the Maldives: the transition has never been more seamless: from city, to home, to ocean. As for dining; well abandon the expected as you sample creative dining at its best at Serenia’s two vibrant restaurants and three bar concepts. 

The flagship seafood gourmet restaurant appeals to discerning diners who love the fruits of the ocean and the seafood only menu is complemented with a gin cart, as well as an extensive variety of wines and bubbles from the indoor Champagne Bar. The pulsating Beach Club with a breathtaking view of the Indian Ocean serves delicious cocktails, as well as fresh sushi and sashimi selections.

The Resort's second restaurant, the botanical inspired modern Asian Bistro can host up to 100 persons, and offers both indoor and outdoor seating. Fusion cuisine awaits, set against the stunning backdrop of the famous Talpe beach and sunset. The open style-kitchen with live cooking stations contributes to the sense of wellbeing, with the anticipation of good food.

The Villa Wing offers serenity and sophistication; an oasis where adventure and relaxation meet. Featuring a 7,000 square feet beachfront Zen Garden to experience the sunrise, yoga or plan the event of your lifetime, it is the “ultimate switch off”. Relaxation is the key word in this stunning tranquil space – adults only Zen Pool Area with a Zen Pool Bar – 5,000 square feet, where you can entertain, work, eat and drink. 

“Here at Serenia, the cadence of the Indian Ocean sets the pace for a life lived to the fullest,” added Karunanayake.
