KK Collection, Sri Lanka, hosted an intimate media networking lunch in New Delhi, bringing together leading travel, lifestyle and hospitality media for an afternoon of conversations around the evolving preferences of Indian luxury travellers and the distinctive experiences offered by its three properties — Kahanda Kanda, KK Beach and The Villa Bentota.At the heart of KK Collection’s philosophy, as envisioned by Founder George Cooper, is an alternative to the traditional large-scale luxury resort experience. The collection brings together three intimate properties, each with its own personality and strong sense of place — from the nature-led tranquility and wellness focus of Kahanda Kanda, to the relaxed beachfront setting of KK Beach and the architectural heritage of The Villa Bentota. Across the collection, the emphasis is on privacy, thoughtful design, personalised service and authentic experiences that allow guests to connect more deeply with Sri Lanka. The gathering provided an opportunity to introduce KK Collection’s approach to boutique luxury and its plans to further strengthen its visibility in the Indian market. The strong media participation also reflected the growing interest in distinctive, experience-led hospitality and Sri Lanka as a luxury destination. Chandrani Chakraborty, Consultant – PR & Marketing, KK Collection, India, said, “It was wonderful to see such an encouraging response from the media. The gathering gave us an opportunity to personally introduce KK Collection, share the stories behind each property and have meaningful conversations around the evolving Indian luxury traveller. Each property has its own character, and that individuality is what makes KK Collection so special.” The networking lunch marked another step in KK Collection’s ongoing engagement with the Indian market, with a focus on building stronger media relationships, creating greater brand awareness and connecting with travellers seeking more intimate, experiential and design-conscious stays in Sri Lanka.
