Strategic Advisory for Anantara Peace Haven Resort
Horwath HTL was engaged by Hemas Holdings to provide a site inspection, competitive market assessment, development recommendations and performance/financial projections for a proposed luxury resort project.
Project Scope
Horwath HTL was engaged by Hemas Holdings to provide comprehensive advisory services for the proposed Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort, a luxury development envisioned to set new standards in the Sri Lankan hospitality market. The scope of the engagement included a detailed site inspection, competitive market assessment, development recommendations, and performance and financial projections.
The engagement commenced with an on-site inspection to evaluate the property’s physical attributes, location, and potential to create a distinctive luxury resort experience. The analysis considered key factors such as accessibility, natural surroundings, and the site’s ability to support the development of high-end facilities and services tailored to affluent international and domestic travellers.
A competitive market assessment was conducted to evaluate the luxury hospitality landscape in Sri Lanka, focusing on the Tangalle area. This included benchmarking against comparable luxury resorts and analysing trends in guest preferences, market segmentation, and demand dynamics. The study identified opportunities for differentiation, enabling the proposed resort to carve out a unique position in the market.
Based on the insights gained, Horwath HTL delivered development recommendations designed to maximise the resort’s market appeal and operational efficiency. These included guidance on room configurations, dining concepts, wellness facilities, and recreational amenities, ensuring the property would align with guest expectations for a world-class luxury experience.
The financial analysis provided projections of key performance indicators such as average daily rate (ADR), occupancy levels, and revenue per available room (RevPAR). Operational cost estimates and profitability scenarios were modelled to give Hemas Holdings a clear understanding of the project’s financial viability and potential return on investment.
Horwath HTL’s expert analysis and recommendations equipped Hemas Holdings with the strategic insights necessary to successfully plan and execute the Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort, setting a benchmark for luxury hospitality in the region.
