A groundbreaking milestone in South Asia’s tourism industry was achieved on January 10th with the grand opening of “Amba Yaalu”, the island nation’s first 100% female-staffed tourist hotel. 

A thematic resort nestled in the middle of a mango plantation with 457 TJC mango trees bordering the tranquil banks of Kandalama Reservoir. Inspired by the novel ‘Amba Yaluwo’ (Mango Friends) and the golden era of Sri Lankan cinema, this unique property is Sri Lanka’s first hotel fully managed and staffed by women.
