98 Acres Resort & Spa, a subsidiary of U.H.E. Group, was recently awarded as the Number 1 Luxury Mountain Resort in Asia, at the recently held 16th World Luxury Hotel Awards (2022) in Antalya, Turkey.
The prestigious awards recognised 98 Acres Resort & Spa – placing it on a par with some of the world’s most sought-after, luxury hotels and resorts, known for exclusive service and offering and impeccable quality.
The recent recognition shines a spotlight on Sri Lanka and the luxury offering that is available to both local and foreign travellers. The luxury resort and spa, located in Ella, continues to pique the interest of international travellers, with the aspirational property continuing to garner praise across the globe.
Playing a vital role in promoting and expanding not only Ella’s tourism prowess but also Sri Lanka’s, the innovative approach to luxury and experiential travel has made Ella – a noteworthy and aspirational holiday region, that many believe will soon rival Bali as a luxury leisure destination.
U.H.E. Group Group Director Marketing Eranda Aberathna stated, “We are honoured and humbled to be awarded as the number one Luxury Mountain Resort in Asia. When 98 Acres was established in 2012, we had a vision for not only the brand and offering but also one that truly made a worthwhile impact on Sri Lanka’s travel and tourism industry. It is the shared vision for the company, from management through to operations and across the 98 Acres family that has made this award possible. This award is dedicated to the entire 98 Acres family and we look forward to pushing the boundaries of what Sri Lanka’s hospitality industry has to offer its global clientele.”
