Us, Five Star Ceylon
As working professionals in both the UK and Sri Lanka for over three decades, we wished to use our 35 years of travel experience across the 5 continents, to share our pride in our home country and love for exploration. Comparing unique travel experiences from around the world, it became apparent to us that Sri Lanka, often nicknamed ‘The Pearl of the Indian Ocean’, was a destination which provided visitors with the very best aspects of culture and beauty in equal measure.
Our aim is to provide a five-star service every step of the way, allowing our travellers to relax, unwind and enjoy a hassle-free holiday. For those who know what they want, our bespoke service will turn dreams into reality. For those who are yet to discover the island’s gems, we have created luxury packages which allow you to experience adventure, wellness, nature and heritage, all in a matter of weeks. Your needs are at the forefront of our work and we can’t wait to share the spectacles of our beautiful island nation with you. The holiday of a lifetime awaits!
