LAUGFS Anantaya to open soon in Chilaw
Anantaya Chilaw, the first four- star luxury beach resort in the north of Colombo will be opened for business soon by LAUGFS Leisure, the hospitality arm of LAUGFS Holdings. It is the company's first resort in a chain of resorts planned.
Situated 66km north of the Bandaranaike International Airport on the uncongested A3 highway, Anantaya Chilaw lies on a narrow peninsula, between the Indian Ocean and the Chilaw lagoon. Facing a vast, isolated beach which sees virtually no people apart from hotel guests, the only sounds that are heard are of the blue ocean waves kissing the golden sand. The surrounding 15 acres of lagoon have large stretches of mangroves filled with bird life, ensuring the guests remain close to nature, a company statement said.
"With a total of 88 rooms ranging from Superior Rooms and Suites to interconnecting rooms, the resort caters to a variety of needs of accommodation. The spacious rooms with breathtaking scenery flowing in through the fully glass side walls allow guests to have a unique experience on the comfort of luxury bedding with eyes on an out- of-the-world scenery of natural environment around them. The large pools with an infinite view at horizon, through an artistic net of long coconut trees, makes the perfect place for a summer swim.
Anantaya Chilaw is just 4 km away from one of Sri Lanka's Ramsar Wetland sites. In order to provide guests a more wholesome experience, the resort also arranges excursions to Wilpattu, the largest National Park in Sri Lanka, Kalpitiya, one of the best sites in the world for whale watching and many other attractions.
