Salt Collective (Pvt) Ltd., a French hospitality development venture, will invest almost US$ 4 million to set up a 16-room boutique hotel in Ahungalla in the Southern Coast of Sri Lanka.
The project is scheduled to be opened for business in December 2022.
Cyril Jacob, Chairman Salt Collective (Pvt) Ltd said, “Despite Sri Lanka having experienced numerous challenges, which also include the C-19 pandemic, we are still great believers in Sri Lanka’s tourism potential.”
“It has so much to offer to both international and domestic travelers with yet unmet demands for high-end boutique hospitality. By teaming up with Resplendent Ceylon, who will be managing the hotel, we believe that we will be able to offer a unique product with superb service and guest experience.” Sanjaya Mohottala, Chairman BOI Sri Lanka said that ,“The Tourism and Leisure industry is our third largest foreign exchange earner in the Sri Lankan economy, and it contributes significantly to employment generation, foreign exchange earnings and tax revenues. It is therefore opportune for Sri Lanka to constantly augment infrastructure capacity to cater to future demand, and in this case, for those tourists with a discerning travel experience palette.”
This Project was conceptualized by architect Channa Daswatte and developed by a team of design firms in Sri Lanka and Singapore. It incorporates traditional elements of Sri Lankan architecture, with casual chic interiors of a modern ‘beach house’.
The hotel which would cater to high-end customers with world class hotel rooms, personalized wellness programmes, and outstanding Food & Beverages, will provide a unique experience at an upscale level.
The new venture will be operated by Resplendent Ceylon, one of the country’s premier operators of luxury properties, renowned for creating a trail of luxury resorts in Sri Lanka.
