Anantaya Resort & Spa – Pasikudah of LAUGFS Leisure Ltd. warmly welcomed its first guests directly following its soft opening ceremony that was held recently. 

Offering magnificent views of the pristine ocean on the east coast, Anantaya Pasikudah consists of 50 rooms and five villas with exclusive private plunge pools that have been tastefully designed by the consultant architects from Nava Design Studios in Thailand.

The hotel staff together with the management team welcomed the first guests, inviting them to mark the auspicious moment by lighting the traditional oil lamp at its open reception area facing the breath-taking ocean. The guests enjoyed a stay of four nights at one of the exclusive two-bedroom villas of the Resort.

“We were delighted to welcome Mira and Franz as our first guests to Anantaya Pasikudah and our team is truly excited with the positive feedback received. We made bookings available for global sales following the recent soft launch. We are absolutely thrilled with the overwhelming response received even before the grand opening ceremony, which we have planned for August,” remarked LAUGFS Leisure Director/CEO Roshan R. Perera, speaking on the occasion of receiving the first guests to the resort. “We are looking forward to setting new standards of infinite luxury at Anantaya Pasikudah to provide our guests with an unforgettable experience on the east coast,” he added.

“The unique architecture in this fantastic landscape makes this place one of the newest hotspots of Sri Lanka. The endless and lonely beach in front of the hotel with its clear blue water, the small fishing boats and palm trees give you the feeling of the Caribbean Sea. Our room was amazing with its very special interior design and contains everything you need to feel as comfortable as possible,” commented Mira and Franz, having posted a detailed review with five star ratings on Trip Advisor, the largest travel website in the world.

“The food was outstanding. Even though I am from the hotel and restaurant business and have seen and tried a lot, I have never had a better and fresher grilled lobster than at this place,” commented Mira and Franz. “We had the most romantic dinner ever in front of this beautiful set up. The staff is more than friendly and helpful. You can feel they love their profession. They really do their best to make you feel special and enjoy your holiday to your fullest. I really want to thank the whole team for making this stay very special for us. We can’t wait to come back to this beautiful place. This place definitely deserves 5 stars.”
