Sun Siyam Pasikudah Hosts Miss Polski 2026 Finalists for Exclusive Photoshoot on Sri Lanka's East Coast

Sun Siyam Pasikudah, part of the Privé Collection under Maldivian-owned Sun Siyam Resorts, the Privé Collection property of The House of Siyam, recently played host to the finalists and crew of Poland's national beauty pageant, Miss Polski 2026, as part of an island-wide tour organised in partnership with the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau (SLTPB).

The 24 finalists, accompanied by reigning titleholders Oliwia Mikulska (Miss Polski 2025) and Kasandra Zawal (Miss Polski 2024), along with a 45-member production and competition crew, arrived in Sri Lanka on 7th June 2026 for a 10-day tour ahead of the grand final in Nowy Sącz on 2nd August, which will be broadcast live on Polsat. The itinerary, which began in Sigiriya before moving on to the East Coast, was designed to showcase the island's cultural heritage, natural beauty, and wildlife to an international audience, with the group's experiences and photography shared widely across Polish media throughout the tour.

As part of this journey, the group spent two nights at Sun Siyam Pasikudah, where the resort's pristine beachfront and laid-back East Coast setting provided the backdrop for an exclusive promotional photography session featuring the finalists.

Commenting on the initiative, Masitha De Thabrew, Deputy Director of the Sri Lanka Tourism Promotion Bureau, said the collaboration was aimed at putting Sri Lanka's lesser-explored destinations in front of a global audience through platforms like Miss Polski, while giving the finalists an authentic taste of the island's hospitality and scenic diversity.

Arshed Refai, General Manager of Sun Siyam Pasikudah, said the team was delighted to welcome the Miss Polski finalists and crew to the property, adding that moments like these are a reminder of just how much the East Coast has to offer international visitors and productions alike, from its calm turquoise waters to the warmth of the welcome they receive on arrival.

For Sun Siyam Pasikudah, the visit offered an opportunity to showcase the East Coast's appeal as an emerging destination for both leisure travellers and international productions, reinforcing the resort's position as a boutique escape that pairs natural beauty with refined hospitality.

Set along one of Pasikudah's most idyllic stretches of coastline, the resort is known for its shallow, calm lagoon waters, powder soft sands, and uninterrupted views of the bay, framed by swaying palms and the kind of quiet that makes the East Coast feel worlds away. Its understated villas and suites, many opening directly onto the beach, are designed to blend into this natural setting rather than compete with it, offering guests a sense of seclusion paired with the personalised service The House of Siyam is known for.

Tucked along one of Sri Lanka's most unspoiled coastlines, Sun Siyam Pasikudah's 34 contemporary pavilions sit lightly on the landscape, part of a wider commitment to sustainability that runs through solar power, water conservation, and a waste approach built on reduction, recycling, and composting. As the boutique tier of The House of Siyam, the Privé Collection property is built for travellers drawn to a sense of place rather than just a view, something reflected in experiences like its floating platform dining, set against the bay and the Indian Ocean beyond.

For those looking to extend the experience, the resort's Summer Offer, available for stays until 31st October 2027, brings added touches such as a complimentary spa treatment, kayaking, and daily bicycle use to the everyday rhythm of a stay on the East Coast.
