Bentota Celestia Ayurveda Resort opens, with Rs. 2.8 bn investment

The Bentota Celestia Ayurveda resort, the latest addition to Sri Lanka’s tourism industry, boasts an investment of Rs. 28 billion and spans over 6 acres of land, housing 65 luxurious rooms, five of which are villas opened last week.

CEO of Celestia, Chandana Silva said “they were mainly catering the growing high end wellness market which will soar to USD 1.3 trillion by 2025 the fastest growth rate of any wellness market.”

“Instead of using conventional healing as a means of treating patients, our goal is to showcase a real Sri Lankan legacy of Ayurvedic behaviors as a way of life, allowing everyone to experience the foundational ideas of a joyful existence.”

The Bentota Celestia Ayurveda resort has the vision to continue the rich tradition of Sri Lankan culture and offers more than just standard Ayurvedic treatments; it also offers contemporary programs like yoga classes, meditation with close-to-nature “beach meditation,” and healing mind and body.

The further resort will provide the healing system with a tailor-made menu under the guidance of nutritionists and Indigenous doctors, which is synonymous with anti-aging detoxing with palatable foods. Celestia also invites future wedding aspirants to enjoy the newfound palatable menu of ancient secret medicinal herbs, rice varieties, and fruits at the resort.

Celestia has initiated its ESG program by recruiting nearly 80% of its staff from nearby villages. Additionally, it plans to establish a local supply chain for its food and beverage requirements.

The Board of Investment of Sri Lanka is facilitating this new enterprise in the tourism sector and will continue with future expansion as well.
