Heralded by the first sighting of the crescent moon, Eid-al-fitr, which translates into “Feat of Breaking the Fast”, begins at sunset and sees Muslims around the world ending the month-long fast of Ramadan. Following a specific Islamic prayer called a “salat”, it is customary to engage in the consumption of a sumptuous Eid feast, as well as the donation of money to those in need.
After a month of sacrifice, one deserves a little indulgence, which is why our top picks for an Eid staycation at Marriott Hotels come in so handy. Even if you do not celebrate Eid, a vacation is just what you need in these trying times.
This hotel, nestled in the quaint little town of Kosgoda, Hikkaduwa, will facilitate an absolutely exquisite vacation replete with visits to the world-renowned turtle conservatory, relaxing boat rides along picturesque rivers, tantalizing repasts, unsurpassed comfort and unforgettable sunsets.
