The traveller based at a Kalutara hotel such as AVANI Kalutara Resort & Spa is in for an unforgettable treat. It is an exceptional Kalutara hotel Sri Lanka has to offer. It would be appropriate to claim that Sri Lanka is aptly referred to as the pearl of the Indian Ocean, given its richness of a variety of gems. The island’s gems are linked with its history. One legend claims that King Solomon had gems brought from Sri Lanka to win over beautiful queens. Even the world famous traveller Marco Polo had been enthralled by the island’s exquisite rubies. The world’s rarest gem Alexandrite is also said to be found here among other including Yellow, blue and star Sapphires as well as Star Rubies.
