The Celestia Ayurveda Resort in Bentota, alongside the Board of Investment of Sri Lanka (BOI), is the latest addition to the local tourism industry, with a Rs. 2.8 billion investment and over six acres of land housing 65 luxurious rooms.

The BOI is facilitating this new enterprise in the tourism sector and will continue with future expansion as well.

According to the Global Wellness Institute, wellness tourism will soar to $ 1.3 trillion by 2025—the fastest growth rate of any wellness market through 2025.

Celestia CEO Chandan Silva said: “Stress, toxic lifestyles, an unbalanced work life, depression, and non-communicable diseases make up a significant portion of modern humans’ lives. Therefore, instead of using conventional healing as a means of treating patients, our goal is to showcase a real Sri Lankan legacy of Ayurvedic behaviours as a way of life, allowing everyone to experience the foundational ideas of a joyful existence.”

The 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 programmes like yoga classes, meditation with close-to-nature beach meditation, and healing mind and body.

Further, the 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 invites future wedding aspirants to enjoy the newfound palatable menu of ancient secret medicinal herbs, rice varieties, and fruits at the resort. Additionally, Celestia honeymoon packages offer a healthier start to any journey.

Moreover, Celestia has initiated its ESG programme 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.
