Cantaloupe Levels to open soon

Cantaloupe Levels, a luxury and lifestyle boutique hotel near Galle, is the second hotel under the Cantaloupe Villas portfolio.

Built on the Rumassala headland, the luxury hotel reveals views of a wide bay that stretches from Jungle Beach to the Dutch Fort of Galle, and is in the heart of this cosmopolitan neighbourhood.

“Cantaloupe Hotels was initiated as the parent company of the hotel chain with an initial investment of US$ 400,000, to launch our first hotel, Cantaloupe Aqua in 2010. Following its success as a leisure destination in Unawatuna, the second project Cantaloupe Levels in Galle, was initiated last year with an investment of US$600,000 and is expected to be opened this month,” a hotel spokesman said.

Cantaloupe Hotels has specialised in exploiting strong demand on the southern coast by high spending tourists from Europe and Asian emerging markets. Cantaloupe Hotels is now expanding its reach with a third hotel in Midigama (three km from Weligama), Cantaloupe Soul Surf, a 30-room beach resort and surf school.

The hotel which is under construction is expected to open in July 2015.
