On 8 March, Taj Samudra Colombo is set to celebrate the global International Women’s Day in appreciation of women for their achievements and commitment.

This brunch is priced at Rs. 3,200 nett per person at Ports of Call.
‘A Pink Affair’ can plausibly enrich the joy and spirit of the bubbly ladies with a ‘Pink High Tea’ at the lobby lounge during the evening from 3.00 p.m. to 6.00 p.m., which is priced at Rs. 2,200 nett per two persons.
This women’s day themed special high tea menu offers sandwiches, hot savouries and tea sweets. Scottish salmon on pink ciabatta, Cajun roast turkey sandwich in the sandwich range, mini prawn and sweet corn vol-au-vent and deep-fried crab claws as hot savouries while tea sweets including strawberry mirror glaze and freshly baked scones with clotted cream, orange marmalade and berry jam perfectly end an English tea.
“Women are unique and we honour women who globally contribute immensely on different dimensions. Embracing the theme for Women’s Day 2019 – Balance for Better, Taj Samudra Colombo is glad to set the atmosphere that we believe in, would encourage women for fresh thinking and to inspire them moreover.”
