Anantaya Passekudah, LAUGFS group’s second luxury resort, nearing completion
View(s):LAUGFS Group’s second luxury beach resort, Anantaya Passekudah, is nearing completion on Sri Lanka’s eastern coast.
LAUGFS entered the leisure sector in 2014 with the launch of its first luxury beach resort, Anantaya Resorts & Spa, in Chilaw under LAUGFS Leisure Ltd. Within the same year, the company began construction of the second hotel of the Anantaya chain, which is due to be launched early 2016.
“Anantaya Passekudah has been designed by a renowned international architect firm, while maintaining the true character and charm of the local area, with its fishing villages and cottages made of locally available materials. The resort has been created to resemble the traditional fishermen’s ‘Wadiya’ with features such as the sloping thatched roofs, a common attribute of the local architecture, which has been used for public areas, restaurants and bars. In keeping with Anantaya’s concept of infinity, every room of the hotel is also designed to offer a breathtaking, infinite view of the magnificent sunrise over Passekudah Bay,” according to a company release.
The resort features five luxurious villas, each of which includes two or more bedrooms and a private plunge pool, together with the latest modern amenities and luxuries for an idyllic, tropical holiday.
Plans are underway for the next and possibly the largest project so far by LAUGFS Leisure, situated along the south western coast at Waskaduwa. This hotel, which is still in its planning stage would consist of over 200 luxury rooms to cater to visitors on pleasure and business travel and would be specially designed to host large events such as conferences, the company said.Founded in 1995, LAUGFS Holdings today has expanded across over 18 industries, establishing a strong presence as a leader and pioneer in the power and energy, retail, industrial, services, leisure and the real estate sectors in the country. “With over 4,000 employees and an annual turnover exceeding Rs.28 billion, LAUGFS continues to expand, touching the lives of millions as a trusted Sri Lankan brand,” the release said.
