Despite global enthusiasm for the sport now with
the Olympics being the topic of all conversation, Club Bentota is taking the
spirit of Beach Volleyball to a notch higher by playing host for the 6th
Travel Trade Sports Club – Beach Volleyball Championships. After a six year
lull, The Mount Lavinia Hotel Group took the initiative to
revive the Championships this weekend, with a whopping team participation of
over 24 teams from many sectors of the travel trade.
Arguably the home of beach volleyball today, walking
the beach on any given time at Club Bentota, you will see all levels and all
ages engaging in recreational 6-man games. Chintaka Daluwatte of the MLHG, states,
“The sport has become as ingrained in the Club Bentota lifestyle as the home
for exciting water sports, or watching the sunset, therefore it was naturally evident
that we take on the initiative to revive this, and indeed there was great
enthusiasm.”
The venue for the championship to be held on 11th
August will be at Club Bentota formerly known formerly as Club Robinson. The
all inclusive property surfaces a complete adventure holiday resort with a
secluded and, breathtaking beach front to compliment the already luscious
property. The property is 100% owned and a subsidiary of the MLHG(Mount Lavinia
Hotel Group). This premier all inclusive hotel is located in a 15 acre palm
fringed peninsula referred to as Paradise Island in beautiful Bentota.

few teams that will participate are: SriLankan Airlines, Bentota Beach Hotel,
