Spa Ceylon, the world’s largest luxury Ayurveda chain, unveiled its opulent new lifestyle experience at the ground floor of the Parkland Tower on Park Street, Colombo 2, marking the milestone of reaching 60 branded locations internationally.


The experience centre features a luxury Spa Ceylon signature spa, the all-new Gourmet Ceylon tea bar, a wellness wall of island balms and a Royal Ayurveda selection. It also features a palace art gift gallery, an all-new Ceylon aroma bar, the luxury soap buffet, a home fragrance wall and the tropical fashion gallery.


This urban oasis in the heart of the city is the perfect location for an energising spa experience in the middle of the workday or to de-stress at the end of one. The extended hours make it easily accessible for gift purchasing, treating visitors to a uniquely Ceylonese experience or relaxing with the ones you love.


Ceylon Aroma Bar


The new aroma bar experience offers insights into the traditional aroma infusion processes using natural essences of island fruits, flowers, herbs and spices for the creation of Spa Ceylon’s Eau de Ceylon collection. Guests are invited to sample and experience the complete range of fragrances, which include Solid Perfumes, Eau de Ceylon and Home Aroma products.


Gourmet Ceylon Tea Bar


Adding a new dimension to the Spa Ceylon experience, the new line of uniquely formulated Gourmet Ceylon Teas in 18 natural blends and Ayurveda Herbal Infusions and 10 benefit specific formulae are featured at the Gourmet Tea Bar situated within the store. These are luxuriously presented in Ceylonese palace art style packaging inspired by the tropical fruits, herbs and flowers blended into these flavourful beverages. The bar offers guests the option to taste their favourite blends prior to selection.


Indulgent Spa Experience


Having being awarded ‘World’s Best Luxury Ayurveda Spa’ operator at the World Luxury Spa Awards 2017, their spa on location offers an extended range of luxury Ayurveda treatments, Ayurveda facials, body scrubs and body polishes as well as waxing, nail and beauty services in Spa Ceylon’s signature style.


Every detail of each Spa Ceylon spa and spa ritual has been thoughtfully designed and detailed to perfection - to ensure guests receive a totally fulfilling and relaxing spa experience like no other. From organic cotton and Ayurveda herb filled cushions and pillows; to old-fashioned wooden foot baths laden with pebbles, jasmines, wild lime and garden mint; to exotic massage balms richly blended with Ceylonese spices, virgin coconut and aromatic ginger; to refreshing organic herbal tea accompanied by traditional palm sweetener, served in custom-designed hand-made Spa Ceylon stoneware; to highly precise signature massage movements by the spa therapists, every element is detailed and designed to complement each other - making the luxurious Spa Ceylon experience uniquely different.


International Expansion


Continuing its rapid international expansion, the last quarter of 2017 will see Spa Ceylon adding seven more spa locations with openings in Lucknow in India, Malé Airport in Maldives, and further expansions across Sri Lanka at BIA Colombo Airport, Colombo Fort, Gandara Street, Kandy Town and Lewis Place in Negombo. Selected signature spa services will also be introduced in Tokyo Japan, as part of the retail experience at the Spa Ceylon stores. New stand-alone boutiques are planned to open in Fukuoka Japan, Saigon Vietnam, Kuala Lumpur Malaysia, Nicosia Cypress, Malé in the Maldives, BIA Colombo Airport and Colombo Downtown. In total, this quarter will see more than 15 new doors opening, growing the Spa Ceylon presence to more than 75 branded locations internationally.


With their products now approved for sale in the European Union, the brand is planning an European roll-out in Italy and Eastern Europe next year, while further expanding their Asian footprint with new market openings in China, Indonesia, Philippines, Taiwan and in other existing markets, to reach their targeted 100 worldwide Spa Ceylon locations in 2018.
