Colombo has an all-new entrant into the world of luxury wellness with NIJA Luxury Wellness, located at the City Club Building, Cinnamon Grand Colombo. The brainchild of Rookamanie Fernando, a hospitality professional with over 30 years of experience who was instrumental in setting up the Ayurveda and wellness proposals of Jetwing Hotels, NIJA Luxury Wellness is an oasis within the city for wellness.
NIJA Luxury Wellness opened its doors on 27 January. Speaking at the launch, Fernando said: “Modern lifestyles have changed drastically, mainly due to the enormous challenges people face daily. Negativity surrounds each person and many are searching for ways to bring positivity into their lives. NIJA Luxury Wellness, the newest entrant to well-being in the city of Colombo, hopes to be an answer to this search. The services we have on offer embody holistic wellness and the healing of mind, body, and soul. Our internationally trained therapists, doctors on-call, and beauty consultants are fully equipped to work with each customer individually on achieving their wellness goals.”
‘Nija’ means white rose in Sanskrit, and in keeping with the purity, innocence, and elegance of the flower, NIJA Luxury Wellness boasts a peaceful, calming interior, all in white tones, with a range of treatments and products that have been created in consultation with an Ayurveda doctor for maximum impact and healing.
Services offered at NIJA include wellness massages and therapy, facial and beauty packages, Ayurveda treatments, couple and bridal packages, naturopathic detox packages, and a first-of-its-kind music therapy as well as a collection of wellness products for purchase.
The Sunday Morning Brunch was treated to one of NIJA Luxury Wellness’s signature offerings, a head and shoulder massage, conducted by an Indian masseuse (all NIJA Luxury Wellness staff are internationally trained and come from a mix of wellness destinations around Asia, including Sri Lanka). The massage was expertly done with careful attention paid to placing just the right amount of pressure for you to remain comfortable while also having a healing effect. The tranquil environment of NIJA Luxury Wellness and the fragrant oils they use only add to the sense of indulgence and relaxation.
“We have carefully chosen the relevant professional doctors, skilled multi-national team, and a leading manufacturer to support our efforts. They are professionally competent and proven to give you the very best. These exclusive packages are designed to suit everyone, to refresh you against the daily hustle and bustle,” Fernando said.
