Centara Hotels & Resorts has revealed that its second hotel in Sri Lanka will soft-open this spring.

The new Centara Ceysands Resort & Spa is set on the Bentota Peninsula, in the south of the island, flanked on either side by the Indian Ocean and Bentota River. Guests will arrive at the resort by boat.

“Bentota is one of the most exciting destinations in Sri Lanka, and our two resorts give us a very significant profile in this strongly growing market,” said Chris Bailey, Centara’s senior vice president of sales & marketing.

“The Indian Ocean is a highly important part of our development strategy, and Centara Ceysands Resort & Spa is an outstanding property that will have both a romantic appeal for couples and lots of leisure attractions for families,” he added.

Located around 100km from Colombo, the new resort will offer 165 rooms and suites, including family residences with bunk beds for children. Facilities will include three F&B outlets, a spa, fitness centre, swimming pool with jacuzzi, a watersports centre, and kids’ club. The resort will also offer evening dinner cruises along the Bentota River.

Centara’s first property in Sri Lanka, Centara Passikudah Resort & Spa, opened early in 2013 on the island’s east coast.
