Waskaduwa Beach Resort PLC operates a luxury beachfront hospitality business centred on its flagship five‑star resort, Citrus Waskaduwa, located on Sri Lanka’s west coast with a 400‑metre beach frontage and 150 rooms. The resort provides accommodation, multiple food & beverage outlets, spa services, extensive gardens, banquet and event facilities tailored to both leisure and business travellers. The company’s operations encompass hotel room operations, F&B and banquet services, events and MICE (meetings, incentives, conferences and exhibitions), and related guest experience services, supported by digital and B2B marketing and collaborations with destination management companies. Management has pursued guest experience upgrades and a refurbishment programme, and is engaging with international operators about possible membership‑club partnerships. Waskaduwa Beach Resort PLC is described in the report as the flagship property of the Citrus Group and focuses on serving regional and domestic tourism markets while participating in international travel fairs and industry channels to attract higher‑value guests. Its operations and initiatives also include supplier procurement, energy‑efficiency measures and hospitality training programmes for local workforce development.
Citrus Waskaduwa recorded a LKR 161 million June-quarter loss during a partial closure for refurbishment. The discount to book value is outweighed by weak liquidity and debt servicing pressure.
