If you’ve been trying to decide where to stay in southern Sri Lanka especially for a family holiday or a destination wedding a new set of international awards just made that decision much easier.
DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort has been named among the best in the world at the 2026 Haute Grandeur Global Excellence Awards, one of the hospitality industry’s most respected recognition programmes. What makes these awards worth paying attention to is how winners are chosen not by a panel of judges, but by real guest feedback and measurable service standards.
The resort walked away with four titles: Best Wedding Resort in Asia, Best Destination Resort in Sri Lanka, Best Destination Wedding Retreat in Sri Lanka, and Best Family Resort in Sri Lanka. That’s not a one-category win. That’s consistent excellence across completely different types of travellers.
Located in Weerawila a quieter, less-crowded corner of the south the resort sits surrounded by natural landscapes that feel a world away from the usual tourist trail. Think lagoons, birdlife, and open skies, rather than busy beach strips.
Whether you’re planning a wedding, travelling with kids, or simply looking for a proper retreat in Sri Lanka’s south, this property has now earned its place on your shortlist and the awards to back it up.
