A New Wave of Conservation: Spa Ceylon joins Biodiversity Sri Lanka to Protect Coral Reefs

Spa Ceylon, the world’s largest luxury Ayurveda brand has joined forces with Biodiversity Sri Lanka (BSL) to strengthen the “Life to Our Coral Reefs” initiative — an ambitious project to restore and conserve Sri Lanka’s vibrant coral ecosystems. Announced alongside Spa Ceylon’s latest Festive Collection, “Undersea Paradise,” this partnership seeks to spotlight the beauty and critical importance of coral reefs while inspiring people to protect these fragile ecosystems. The Life to Our Coral Reefs initiative was conceptualised and designed with the support of the Ambassade de France à Sri Lanka et aux Maldives.

The initiative is part of BSL’s LIFE Series, which is dedicated to preserving Sri Lanka’s unique natural landscapes, from lush forests and mangroves to pristine beaches and coral reefs. Coral reefs, covering less than 1% of the oceans yet supporting 25% of marine life, play an irreplaceable role in coastal protection and supporting livelihoods. However, they are under severe threat from climate change, pollution, and unsustainable fishing practices. Through collaborations with the Department of Wildlife Conservation, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), Blue Resources Trust and the Marine Environment Protection Authority (MEPA), BSL is committed to reversing the tide.

With Spa Ceylon’s international reach across 33 countries and its dedication to ethical, eco-friendly practices, the partnership promises to amplify marine conservation efforts in Sri Lanka and beyond. The Undersea Paradise Festive Gallery at One Galle Face Mall from November 1-3 provides an immersive experience to inspire people to take action for marine conservation.

“Biodiversity is at the heart of today’s environmental challenges, from climate change to habitat loss,” says Dilhan Fernando, Chairperson of BSL. “It’s on all of us—businesses, NGOs, government, and individuals—to protect it. Through this collaboration, we hope to inspire others to safeguard our marine heritage for generations to come.”

By merging luxury wellness with ecological responsibility, Spa Ceylon and BSL are setting a powerful example of how businesses can lead the way in environmental stewardship, working together to make an enduring impact on Sri Lanka’s natural heritage.
