Centara Hotels & Resorts will open Centara Ceysands Resort& Spa, its second resort in Sri Lanka, in the spring of 2014.
Located on the Bentota Peninsula, on the south side of the island, with the Bentota River on one side and the Indian Ocean on the other, the new resort will be accessible by a five-minute ferry ride.
“Bentota is one of the most exciting new destinations in Sri Lanka, and our two resorts give us a very significant profile in this strong, growing market,” said Chris Bailey, Centara Hotels & Resorts’ senior vice president for sales and marketing.
“Centara Ceysands Resort& Spa is an outstanding property that will have both a romantic appeal for couples and lots of leisure attractions for families.”
“The Bentota Peninsula offers a unique holiday experience. There is the unspoiled charm of the river with its mangroves and wildlife; the classic golden tropical beach with calm seas and all kinds of water sports to enjoy, and of course, there is all the colour and history of Sri Lanka.”
The resort has 165 rooms and suites, including family residences with bunk beds for the children. All accommodations feature views of the river or the beach, and the ocean.
Restaurant facilities will 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.
With its pleasure launch Wayz, the resort will also offer dinner cruises along the Bentota River.
Spa Cenvaree will offer traditional Sri Lankan and Indian treatments along with its range of signature Thai therapies. There is a fitness center, an oceanfront swimming pool with Jacuzzi and a children’s pool, a water sports center, and a Kids’ Club with separate zones for the youngsters and teens.
The resort is just a few minutes from Aluthgama railway station, and Colombo can be reached in less than two hours by car. Colombo Bendaranaike International Airport is 100 kilometers away from the resort.
Centara Hotels & Resorts, a leading operator of hotels in Thailand, features 47 deluxe and first-class properties in all the major tourist destinations in Thailand.
Additionally, the company owns or operates 18 resorts in the Maldives, Vietnam, Shanghai, Bali, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Mauritius Indian Ocean, and Ethiopia. The Centara Passikudah Resort & Spa was Centara’s first property in Sri Lanka.
