Esna Villas, a company fully owned by Esna Holdings, has invested in a beach property on Nilaveli beach, Trincomalee, with a beach frontage of 144 feet.

This project, which is valued at US$ 1 million, is the company’s first foray into the leisure sector. The company plans to set up an ‘all suite’ boutique hotel on the property with construction already in progress.

Chairman of Esna Holdings Eshana De Silva observed that this project included a ‘Presidential Villa,’ which has a private swimming pool with all the luxury amenities of a five-star property.

“We are very excited as this would be the only project of this kind in Trincomalee,” he added.

Sri Lanka has seen a massive influx of tourists after the much-anticipated post-war tourism boom.

Esna Villas plans to set up similar boutique hotels in other prime tourist locations around the island, with there being little doubt that projects such as these are vital in post-war Sri Lanka.
