HOSPITALITY company Laugfs Leisure opens the first four-star Anantaya resort on the western coastal town of Chilaw next month, offering rare room views of both the sea and the lagoon.
Laugfs Holdings (parent company of Laugfs Leisure) chairman, WKH Wegapitiya, said: “This is what is unique about the place. Nowhere in Sri Lanka are there rooms with such a dual view.”
Anantaya Chilaw lies on a narrow peninsula sandwiched between the Indian Ocean and the Chilaw lagoon, 66km north of the country’s international airport.
Owned by Laugfs Leisure, the 88-room resort is the first of three properties to be rolled out.
Anantaya Waskaduwa in the south will come with 250 rooms and private villas that can be purchased, and targets MICE travellers with an international convention centre and exhibition hall, the first in the area.
Another one on the east coast of Passekuda is currently under construction and would be ready by mid-2015. Anantaya Passekudah will come with 110 rooms and 20 private villas.
