Corporate Incentive Travel in Sri Lanka – Russian Group Experience
Sri Lanka is rapidly becoming one of Asia’s most sought-after destinations for corporate incentive travel and executive retreats. With luxury resorts, scenic coastlines, and diverse experiences within short travel distances, the island offers exceptional opportunities for companies looking to reward employees and partners.
In January 2025, Lanka Holidays.Net successfully organized a corporate incentive trip for a Russian group of 40 guests. The program combined luxury accommodation, unique entertainment experiences, and memorable events designed to create a truly rewarding journey.
This incentive program highlighted Sri Lanka’s growing reputation as a preferred destination for corporate groups from Europe and the CIS region.
Luxury Accommodation at RIU Ahungalla
The group stayed at RIU Ahungalla, a beachfront resort well suited for incentive groups and corporate travelers.
The resort provided:
- Spacious and comfortable accommodation
- Beachfront leisure facilities
- Multiple dining options
- A relaxed coastal atmosphere ideal for group bonding
The property offered the perfect balance of comfort and entertainment, allowing guests to unwind between organized activities.
Private Cruise Party in Mirissa
One of the most memorable highlights of the incentive program was a private cruise party organized in Mirissa on the second day of the trip.
Guests boarded a private sailing vessel and enjoyed several hours at sea, experiencing the beauty of Sri Lanka’s southern coastline. During the cruise, guests were able to:
- Swim in the ocean
- Enjoy paddling and water activities
- Relax on deck while sailing
The atmosphere on board was lively and enjoyable, creating a unique team-bonding experience in a relaxed setting
BBQ Dinner and DJ Party After the Cruise
Following the cruise, the evening continued with a beachside BBQ dinner and DJ party.
The event featured:
- A live BBQ dinner setup
- DJ entertainment
- A professional local dancing group performance
- A Russian DJ couple performing for the guests
- A vibrant party atmosphere
The combination of international and local entertainment created a dynamic and unforgettable evening, with guests fully enjoying the music, performances, and social atmosphere.
Experiences like these are especially popular with incentive groups, as they combine relaxation, celebration, and cultural entertainment in a single event.
Gala Dinner at Anantara Kalutara Resort
Another highlight of the incentive program was a grand gala dinner held at Anantara Kalutara Resort, one of Sri Lanka’s most prestigious luxury venues for corporate events.
The gala dinner included:
- Elegant banquet arrangements
- Unlimited premium alcoholic beverages

- A lively and celebratory atmosphere
The evening provided the perfect setting for recognition, celebration, and networking, which are key objectives of corporate incentive travel programs.
