US based Marriott International has inked an agreement with Weligama Hotel properties to manage a 200 room, 11-storey property on the South coast of Sri Lanka.
The resort which will be operated as Weligama Bay Marriott Resort and Spa will add to the number of high-quality properties available in one of the most popular regions in the country.
Among the many facilities at the resort are a swimming pool with a pool bar, three restaurants and a spa and fitness centre. The resort is expected to be fully operational by 2014.
