We thank every hotel team member who contributed to this success,” said Imran Naufel, General Manager of Cantaloupe Levels.  “This achievement pays tribute to the long hours everyone at the resort dedicated to ensuring that all services are delivered second-to-none and all those who helped us along the way.”

“There is no greater reward for a hotel and its’ staff than being bestowed with a World Luxury Hotel Award, as voted for by their own guests. It is the most gratifying review in its truest form,” said Anton Perold, Managing Director for the World Luxury Hotel Awards.

In addition to being recognised by such a prestigious organisation, Cantaloupe continues the trend by being recognised by TripAdvisor. The Travellers Choice winners were identified in the categories of Top Hotels, Bargain, B&Bs and Inns, Luxury, Service and Small Hotels. The hallmarks of Travellers’ Choice winners are remarkable service, quality and value.

We plan to bring this level of detail and service to the two new properties we are adding to our portfolio this year,” said Cantaloupe & Co Managing Director Dmitri Jayasuriya.

Cantaloupe Levels, an intimate luxury and lifestyle boutique hotel in Rumassala, near Galle, is the second property under the Cantaloupe Hotels portfolio, the other being Cantaloupe Aqua in Talpe. Picturesquely perched on the lush green Rumassala headland, this boutique hotel reveals views of a wide turquoise bay that stretches from Jungle Beach all the way to the world famous Dutch fort of Galle.

The recognition received by the group has come at the opportune moment, since Cantaloupe Hotels will be expanding its concept further south to Midigama, Weligama where it will open Cantaloupe Soul Surf to cater to and develop the chic side of the evolving surfing culture in Sri Lanka. The group will also be launching their first management property ‘Seilen Diva by Cantaloupe Hotels’, an ultra-luxury seven-bedroom private villa in Thalpe.
