Centara to open second Sri Lankan resort in 2014
Centara Hotels & Resorts will open its second Sri Lankan resort later this year with Centara Ceysands Resort & Spa Sri Lanka.
Scheduled to open in Q2 of 2014, Centara Ceysands will include a 1,032sq m (11,108sq ft) Spa Cenvaree featuring eight treatment rooms, and will be managed by an in-house team.
The spa, opening in mid-April 2014, will offer traditional Sri Lankan and Indian treatments along with its range of signature Thai therapies. Facilities include a fitness centre, swimming pool with spa pool and a children’s pool, a water sports centre, and a kids’ club with separate zones for youngsters and teens.
The resort has 165 rooms and suites, including family residences with bunk beds for children. Restaurant facilities include Café Bem, serving Sri Lankan and international cuisines along with buffets; 360 Seafood, which specialises in locally sourced seafood; and Ceylon Club, which will have a gourmet selection of Ceylon teas.
The resort – managed by Softlogic Leisure and operated by Centara under a management contract – will initially undergo a soft opening in the spring and is set on the Bentota Peninsula, at the south of the island, with the Bentota River on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other.
Centara’s first property in Sri Lanka, Centara Passikudah Resort & Spa, is located on the east coast of the island and opened early in 2013.
