Asia Leisure furthers its footprint on the south coast with another resort to open in Kosgoda in December 2016. Asia Leisure’s accelerated thrust on expansion is further cemented with the launch of this, their fifth resort. The 30 key property with an investment outlay of $ 5 million shares in the governments drive for increased Foreign Direct Investment with investors consisting of a consortium of Japanese and Sri Lankan parties, with the management of the resort by Asia Leisure.
Asia Leisure Chief Executive Officer Reyhan Morris had this to say: “Capitalising on the tourism sectors growth potential, we are ensuring a robust growth strategy.” Asia Leisure is bullish on its investment perspective, having already launched two new properties in the last 20 months. He elaborates, “Kosgoda represents a new dimension of expansion where Asia Leisure is entrusted with delivering expectations of shareholders and other stakeholders through a management contract.” On even more significant developments, Reyhan states that the Group is currently building their first international resort in the Maldive Islands.
The Group is confident that with global travellers spending more of their dollars on experiences, lifestyle resorts such those by Asia Leisure will gain the most as Sri Lanka emerges to be a top tourism destination. The resort in Kosgoda has been conceptualised for that breed of new-age traveller who is design-perceptive, technology dependent and consistently craving extraordinary experiences.
Contemporary Sri Lankan design redefines coastal charm at this new resort as the story of the south of the island finds itself expressed in a blend of modern art. Vibrant masks that carry folklore stories of Sri Lankan history set off against minimalist cement backdrops. The culture of the region is captured in many more elements such as décor that depicts fishermen’s livelihood. All this fuses to deepen guests’ connection to this amazing island.
Asia Leisure’s ‘less is more’ strategy means that this new resort offers just 30 rooms with supremely high focus on bespoke services. Knowing a great view makes a great stay, everything from the reception, restaurant, bar and pool is laid out to take in the amazing view of the Indian Ocean beyond. Each room too offers sweeping views of the sea and comes with a private balcony. The resorts two ultra-spacious suites take style to dazzling heights, with the sparkling star of a guests stay being the personal butler who anticipates your every desire.
Giving insight to the Group’s core values, Reyhan sums up, “In creating a lifestyle curated just for you, each resort by Asia Leisure blends carefully crafted elements to create an experience so profound, it will cause you to stop and savour the moment.” As Asia Leisure lives its brand promise, they seem ready to take on an increasingly competitive global sphere of tourism.
