THE FINEST LUXURY HOTELS IN SRI LANKA
We know the luxury hotel scene in Sri Lanka as well as we know the country. Inside-out.
Yes, the island's well-known, conventional luxury hotels – from the iconic Amangalla to Condé Nast Traveller favourite, Wild Coast Tented Lodge – are undeniably comfortable and chic.
But we're always exploring, constantly refreshing our hand-picked hotel collection to make sure ETG travellers like you experience the most unique and special stays.
From boutique retreats tucked into the hills like Tekanda Lodge to private villas with masses of space like Why House, every luxury hotel in our hand-picked collection has a real sense of place and character.

Alice first fell in love with Sri Lanka during an unforgettable trip through its misty tea hills, national parks, and bustling towns. Her passion for the country shines through in the thoughtful itineraries she creates, blending iconic highlights with hidden gems that give travellers a true taste of Sri Lanka’s magic.
Alice’s insider tip: “Don’t miss the train journey from Kandy to Ella. It’s not just a way to get around – it’s one of the most scenic rail journeys in the world!”

Holly is a true Sri Lanka enthusiast, with a talent for designing holidays that blend the must-see highlights with the hidden corners of the country. Whether it’s a family-friendly wildlife encounter, a romantic retreat in the tea hills, or an off-the-beaten-track adventure, Holly loves curating trips that surprise and delight her clients.
Holly’s insider tip: “For a truly magical experience, take an early morning safari in Wilpattu National Park. It’s quieter than some of the other parks, and the chance to spot leopards in their natural habitat is unforgettable.”

Lynsey’s love for Sri Lanka began during her travels across the island, where she was captivated by its warm people, diverse landscapes, and mouthwatering food. Her expertise lies in creating itineraries that balance relaxation and adventure, with a special focus on ethical travel and supporting local communities.
Lynsey’s insider tip: “In Yala National Park, skip the busy Block 1 and head to the quieter Block 5 instead. It’s far less crowded, and you’ll actually feel like you’re in the wild. Leopards can be elusive, but there’s so much more to see – think elephants, crocodiles, spotted deer, water buffalo, mongoose, peacocks, and incredible birdlife.”
