Sun Siyam Resorts reopens with USD 1.8 Mn transformation

Sun Siyam Pasikudah, a beacon of boutique luxury, proudly unveiled its transformed five-star retreat on the East Coast recently. The resort is a distinguished member of the boutique collection under Sun Siyam Resorts.

Former Minister and MP Daya Gamage and Eastern Province Governor Senthil Thondaman participated in the event. Marking the culmination of an extensive transformation and renovation, the event showcased the property’s unique experiences and its enduring contribution to the country.

Sun Siyam Resorts CEO Deepak Booneady gave an opening welcome speech, followed by a few welcoming words by General Manager Arshed Refai, and an insightful resort presentation by Dulanka De Mel.

Originally launched in 2014 as Sun Aqua Pasikudah, the property underwent a rebranding in 2020, becoming part of the Sun Siyam Resorts collection and adopting the name Sun Siyam Pasikudah. This reopening marks a new chapter in Sun Siyam Pasikudah’s dedication to offering unforgettable experiences rooted in the beauty of Sri Lanka. The five-star boutique retreat is located on the unspoiled eastern coastline of Sri Lanka, approximately a six-hour scenic drive from Colombo’s Bandaranaike Airport. Boasting just 34 spacious and contemporary, one-to-two-bedroom, garden or beach pavilions, with or without pools, Sun Siyam Pasikudah ensures an exclusive coastal experience, whether travelling as a couple, a family, or a group of friends.

“The design philosophy for this incredible project was to create a boutique 5 interior with bold monochromatic interiors balanced with rich golden tones. For us, when designing this project, we wanted to create a unique, sophisticated, and chic interior on the magnificent and vibrant coastline of Pasikudah”, says Studio Sixty7 Founders and Creative Directors Lee McNichol and Jose Rivero, who played a crucial part in the interior design revamp. The resort provides distinctive culinary experiences that immerse guests in Sri Lanka’s vibrant flavours and elegant colonial traditions. Notable options include The Cellar, the largest wine cellar on Sri Lanka’s eastern coast, and the Tea House, which offers a huge tea collection and brings together tea pioneers for a delightful tea-tasting journey, the Slice & Grill, a fast-casual poolside dining concept with an early seventies feel and design, offering pizza and grill favourites, or the Beach Shack, a tropical beverage beach paradise featuring Caribbean vibes.

At Sun Siyam Pasikudah, guests can dive into the sublime underwater world of the pristine Pasikudah coast, snorkel or embark on scuba diving adventures to explore vibrant coral reefs or take part in more exhilarating options such as jet-skiing, kayaking, and tube rides across the bay.

Alternatively, romance seekers can opt for a serene sailing excursion along Pasikudah’s idyllic coastline or a romantic private dining experience under the stars. For adventure enthusiasts, the resort offers day-long safaris to some of Sri Lanka’s most iconic destinations, such as the awe-inspiring Sigiriya Rock, a visit to the remarkable Dambulla Cave Temple, an unforgettable whale-watching trip from May to September where one could see blue and sperm whales, or an excursion to the ancient kingdom of Polonnaruwa before climbing aboard a private jeep for an unforgettable wildlife safari in Minneriya National Park, where guests can spot wild elephants and a variety of bird species.

A visit to Sun Siyam Pasikudah is more than a vacation; it’s a grand adventure, a cultural odyssey, and an oasis of tranquillity. Here, guests can experience the true essence of affordable luxury and embrace the beauty of this culturally rich destination.
