Hilton Colombo has teamed up with Sakurai Aviation and Wingway Holidays to announce a getaway like no other with their one-of-a-kind ‘Heli-Cation’ package.
Taking the idea of a staycation to new heights, this package offers you and three friends the chance to rise above the tumult of the times with a 20-minute private helicopter flight-seeing tour over Colombo’s landmarks and stunning coastline.
The $ 650++ package features accommodation in a corner suite, $ 75 (Rs. 14,000) in food and beverage credit vouchers that can be used at any of the hotels’ restaurants and bars, a 20-minute private helicopter tour of Colombo on a Robinson 66 Helicopter and breakfast for two at the Graze Kitchen restaurant.
Hilton Colombo General Manager Manesh Fernando said: “Our newly launched ‘Heli-Cation’ package is ideal for surprise proposals, anniversaries and birthdays or just the chance to experience something truly unique with friends. Whatever the reason, this once-in-a-lifetime experience will be cherished forever.”
Lavish treatment awaits guests who book the helicopter packages, including round-trip transportation from the Hilton Colombo to the helipad, special refreshments and photographs to remember the occasion.
