The Bentota Celestia Ayurveda resort, the latest addition to Sri Lanka's tourism industry, boasts an investment of Rs. 28 billion and spans over 6 acres of land, housing 65 luxurious rooms, five of which are villas. The Board of Investment of Sri Lanka is facilitating this new enterprise in the tourism sector and will continue with future expansion as well.

Hectic lifestyles and the modern pace of life can lead to stress and burnout, which in turn can drive people to seek wellness tourism, which is further influenced by chronic diseases. The number of people with chronic diseases is increasing, which can drive people to seek wellness tourism.

The future looks very bright; according to the Global Wellness Institute forecasts the market will soar to $1.3 trillion by 2025—the fastest growth rate of any wellness market through 2025.

Mr. Chandan Silva, the CEO of Celestia, expresses his concern about the "skyrocketing human unhappiness." 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 behaviors as a way of life, allowing everyone to experience the foundational ideas of a joyful existence.

The Bentota 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 programs like yoga classes, meditation with close-to-nature “beach meditation,” and healing mind and body.

The further 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.

The innovation at Celestia is drastically unconventional. 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 your journey.

Celestia has initiated its ESG program 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.
