Sri Lanka’s All-Female Resort: Changing the Game and Changing the Narrative! 💪✨
Bye-bye to the boys' club - we've got a new sheriff in town! Meet Amba Yaalu at Kandalama, Sri Lanka's pioneering all-female resort that is redefining the hospitality landscape in the most fabulous way!

Girl Power in Paradise
Imagine this: 33 stunning rooms with views over breathtaking Kandalama Lake, on a property with 457 mango trees (yes, someone counted), and run completely by 80 incredible women! From the resort manager, to the gardener taking care of those mango trees, all positions are female. That's what we call female empowerment with views!

The Numbers Game
To blow your mind: women account for about 70% of the global workforce involved in tourism; in Sri Lanka, that number is 10% in the formal hospitality sector. This is despite the fact that women make up 52.8% of the population and have high literacy rates!

More Than Just a Pretty Place
This is a $2.7 million investment, and in addition to the beautiful interior spaces inviting guests to celebrate Sri Lankan culture, the notion is to envision a radical shift. Chairman Chandra Wickremesinghe stated simply that keeping gifted Sri Lankan women from going abroad to find opportunities improves their status at home and also keeps them closer to family.

Amba Yaalu is not just a resort; it is a statement, it is a movement and proof that when women lead, incredible things occur! 🌟
