Amid the restless energy in Sri Lanka's capital city rises Amari Colombo, a 27-storey tower of glass and steel that has quickly become one of the capital's most striking new landmarks. Opened in December 2024, its silhouette is visible from miles away, standing confidently above the ocean

Swan Hellenic Diana - Baked Onion

The Swan Hellenic Gastronomic Atlantic Voyage

Fiona Maclean

And that is Swan Hellenic’s secret - along with excellent service from Mauricio Dos Santos’ team, to complement the fabulous food and wine.
