Bentota Celestia Ayurveda Resort: A New Hub for Wellness Tourism

By: Staff Writer

October 13, Colombo (LNW): The Bentota Celestia Ayurveda resort, a significant new addition to Sri Lanka’s tourism landscape, involves a substantial investment of Rs. 28 billion. This resort covers over 6 acres of land, offering 65 luxurious rooms, including five exclusive villas. Facilitated by the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka, the resort marks a notable step in the tourism sector, with plans for further expansion in the future.

Global health challenges are driving a surge in interest in holistic healing and wellness tourism. As people’s focus on health, travel, and nutrition grows, coupled with rising disposable incomes, the demand for wellness tourism is set to expand further.

Modern fast-paced lifestyles often result in stress, burnout, and an increase in chronic illnesses, leading more individuals to seek wellness-focused travel options. This rising prevalence of chronic diseases continues to push the demand for wellness tourism.

According to the Global Wellness Institute, the wellness tourism market is expected to grow at the fastest rate in the wellness sector, reaching $1.3 trillion by 2025.

Mr. Chandan Silva, CEO of Celestia, expressed his concern about the increasing levels of stress and unhappiness in people’s lives due to toxic lifestyles, depression, and work-life imbalance. He emphasized the resort’s mission to offer more than conventional healing by promoting the rich Sri Lankan Ayurvedic traditions as a lifestyle to experience the principles of joyful living.

Bentota Celestia Ayurveda resort goes beyond traditional Ayurvedic treatments by integrating modern wellness practices such as yoga, meditation, including nature-focused “beach meditation,” aimed at rejuvenating both mind and body.

The resort also plans to introduce a customized healing menu, developed in collaboration with nutritionists and local doctors, focusing on anti-aging and detoxifying diets made with delicious, healthful foods.

In a unique approach, Celestia offers wedding and honeymoon packages that include a special menu featuring ancient medicinal herbs, rare rice varieties, and tropical fruits, aiming to give couples a healthier start to their journey.

Additionally, Celestia’s commitment to sustainability is evident in its Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) program, which includes hiring 80% of its staff from neighboring villages and creating a local supply chain for its food and beverage needs.

The Bentota Celestia Ayurveda resort aims to set a new benchmark in wellness tourism by blending traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with contemporary wellness practices.
